I think holdover reticles are already archaic. They are no different than pins on a bow, but they cannot even be adjusted. A turret is brainless if you actually spend some time testing it in the off season. Takes 2 seconds to turn my turret to 9 and then I am dead on at 500yds. No different than turning a power ring.
Takes me "0" seconds to be dead on at 500...
Second dot on a 6x36 Leupold LR with 162 Amax at almost 3200 fps from a 7mm Mashburn Super. Ditto that at 400 and 600 with the first dot and the bottom post.
Who says velocity isn't important? Malarkey.
Nothing to turn,no change in zero...easy and convenient. In the time it takes to read distance and turn a turret,an animal can change distance by 50-100 yards on the side of a mountain or in the plains.
I tend to agree with Bwalker and Schrapnel. If I specialized in shooting animals,varmints, or anything else beyond 600 yards,agree turrets are the way to go. But on a rifle intended for BG hunting out to 600 yards,I don't want nor need the additional complication of a turret.
