MD,

You mention the CDS system here. I have been striving rather hard to make a decision on scope for a specific project I have had in mind. One of the things I want is some form of BDC reticle or turrets for longer ranges. I pretty much have decided on the turrets, but have been advised by quite a few people that for an all purpose scope that could see use on horseback, Africa, long range, short fast shooting etc....unlocked exposed turrets are a bad idea. Some have given personal examples of range getting changed accidentally and missing snap shots at close range because of it and suggest always checking zero setting before shooting, but most just tell me, lock 'em or forget it.

This would either rule out turrets or narrow the list to a very few choices (Leica ERi, some HD5's, Superslam, etc.)

What is your opinion on this?
