I have a scope very similar to that one! Leupold used to make a Vari X-II 3-9X40 Tactical, which had target turrets. This looks like an updated version of that.

What do you guys think about only putting an elevation turret on, and not doing a windage turret? I'd like to have elevation dialed in, but have no experience in wind doping, etc so feel I wouldnt use the windage turret as much. Is it weird to just have the one?

I've never seen a scope with just one ele turret.  I think it would make the rifle too topheavy

LOL....top heavy?? As opposed to 'right side heavy'? I htink it might look goofy.....but wasnt considering weight or balance at all....

I think its a great idea and am planning on doing the same. Dialing in for 400-500 yards is way more important than a few wind inches that you're pretty much guessing on anyway.

a few? Looks like it could easily be 2 foot at 500 yards.

People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

My point was that with a LRF you could be exact on the elevation dialing but you are sort of guessing wind when hunting. Even if you know how much it's blowing where you are and where the game is, what it's doing in between is always an assumption.

No doubt; and it should be stongly considered before lobbing projectiles at critters at 400 and 500 yards. With just a 10 mph wind, I have a feeling both parties could be unhappy. Not suggesting you'd do that, just thinking lots of practice and little wind is a good thing. I'd try to get closer whenever possible . . .
Take it easy Jason.

Am running just an ele on my 6x42, and wouldn't think about having a windage put on it (or most any 'hunting' rifle). My 6.5/284 play rifle is a different matter however...
