Yeah but go back to my earlier post. The shot passes and what do you do now? Click back to zero? How many was that? Are you sure? Does the scope click back and forth accurately?
Both camps rely on knowing the bullet drop. One corrects using the turrets and the other corrects using a holdover. A proper turret has the ability to set the turret back to zero, it is not confusing or difficult in any manner

I would never use tactical turrets on a hunting rifle. Its just me. I like to keep things simple and compact. Turrets are something to bump and bang, add weight and fight getting into a backpack scabbard. Now, in a dog town, fine, have fun. Again, its what we have confidence in, we usually defend.

Let me see if I have this straight Steely.
You have your rifle zeroed at 100 yards, you then see an animal you want to shoot at somewhere between 200-300 yards, you then take your LRF and range the target at 268 yards, you then put down your LRF and chamber a round into your rifle, you then twist your turret up the required number of clicks, take careful aim and shoot. Is that correct?
Sounds simple and quick! That you don't fathom it surprises me none and that it is difficult for you provides much humor. Yep, that is just how I do it. Stick with your [bleep] loving posts, at least you can speak to it.

Guessing if my 5'11" 200 pound frame with a 3 1/2' foot rifle don't slow [bleep] down, a 1" turret ain't gonna stop me....grin Thinking both have rode a bit in a backpack

Yes, it probably took all of 1.2 seconds to put in 22 clicks..

Don't forgot the time it takes to chamber a round. I'm amazed you've ever killed anything.......

Scenar, I notice you always use meters instead of yards, is that just a personal pref. or is there an advantage?
Thanks

Another one thats on my wall instead of still running around in the bush....Taken with one shot at 470 meters as he was giving me the middle finger, saying in buck language, adios amigo! I'd rather come home with the buck than another story about the one that got away...

Personal preference for me....mils are what I started with. Nothing wrong with moa either.
I've been hunting with this system for about six years and I've never had a POI change on one of these scopes...ever. I've moved those scope turrets thousands of times and they have never changed.
IMO its all about getting to know your equipment. Put your time in. It's like scouting, the more you put into it the more rewards you will reap from it.

...The shot passes and what do you do now? Click back to zero? How many was that? Are you sure? Does the scope click back and forth accurately?... There's no need to count clicks. Turrets are incrementally numbered and include intermediate index lines. Just dial moa, or mils. Dialing back to zero is pretty foolproof unless going more than a full revolution. Some turrets have a mechanical zero-stop as well. The custom CDS, and Kenton turret caps are marked in range (per your specific load/atmo), moa, or both. Leupold M1 turrets, Leupold standard target turrets, Repeatability is a non-issue with anything resembling a quality scope. I like to zero at 100, but if moving into open country it's easy enough to apply 200 yard dope (or whatever suits ya), and carry on.
