I guess for a guy like who has zero desire to spin turrets, most of what’s being written has no effect. When I’m hunting I know before hand what the POI is at any distance I’m going to shoot. What matters is optical quality and holding zero. You guys that like to spin turrets have added issues of which I’m not interested in doing. I personally do not know anyone I hunt with or shoot with that spins turrets. I’m thinking that the ability to do so with a scope is not all that important for a company that manufactures scopes. Important for some, but only a small percentage.
I’ve shot quite a bit competitively and have only used iron sights. And I knew how many clicks to change POI from 325 to 500 or whatever the game called for. Lately the only matches I’ve shot is with the M1.
Spin turrets when hunting?
Nobody has time for that.
There are lots of us that have never and will never have any need for spinning turrets. The longest shot opportunity I've had at game since 1994 was 285 yards. I killed that deer with one shot with no need to dial. The vast majority of my shots are under 75 yards. This is due to the terrain in my hunting area being primarily heavily forested. I couldn't possibly care less about "spinning turrets". What matters to me is dead meat on the ground and my Leupold scoped rifles have put it there consistently year after year.
