I have several hunting rifles and several varmint rifles that have both windage and elevation turrets or elevation only turrets and love them both, I much prefer the target style that have a cap over the M1 style.
To me it depends on the range that I will be shooting and how much wind. on a recent deer hunt in Wyoming where the wind always blows or sucks (depending if you are in western or eastern Wyoming). the wind was not consistent but was always above 10mph, the shot was 650 yards so I dialed in exact for elevation and dialed in for a 10mph crosswind....then held off just a bit more.
If the wind is blowing like it was when I went by your town yesterday (30-40mph)I put my gun away and wait for another day!!!
