Title says it all, I want an MOA elevation turret, and an MOA reticle that will allow me to hold elevation, and shoot out to 800 yds.

Nothing wrong with MOA but you are ruling out some really fine choices with that restriction. If you do insist on MOA, I'd be looking at one of the new Bushnell LRHSs

Look into the Leupold Mark 4 4.5-14x50 with M1 turrets, and the TS-32X1 reticle, that should make a great match for what you are looking for, and depending on your cartridge, you probably wouldn't even need a 10, 15, or 20 MOA rail to get to 800 or even 1000 yds.

Are you holding or indexing for wind?

Your doing it wrong at 800yds.

Dial elevation and hold wind.

Backwards, and mil will get you there at least as well.

No, that's "your" way of doing it. Just because it's not "your" way, doesn't make it wrong. If you don't have something constructive to add, zip it!

If I want to hold both, I can, and if a quick shot presents itself, without time to dial, I can hold it as well.

I didn't ask for mil though, did I?

Slickyboy, thanks, I will look into the Leupy, sounds like you were the only one that could comprehend English correctly.

308, if you all ready know everything, why are you asking questions.

Mil Dots are not friendly for long range windshield holds. 4ager was attempting to feed you some very sound advise, and you pissed on his hand.

Way to be a FNG. You're awesome.

Assuming you are going to hold for wind, it sounds like a regular MOA version of a mil-dot style reticle with only hash marks on the vertical and horizontal crosshairs will not work well. You probably need a Horus style or at least a B&C-type reticle. I was going to suggest the NF SVH 2-10x42 with MOAR, but you probably would want something more along the lines of their velocity reticle, which is not available in that scope. Maybe a used NXS-Compact?

If he knows it all why even bother posting on the subject and then insulting a few people that responded? Do not get that

Rouge and Oldelkhunter,

Never said I knew everything, and don't claim to, however, my question was specifics about scopes that have certain atributes, and the best one in their price range. I don't believe my question was "I am doing everything wrong because its not the way you do it, so why don't you tell me how you do it, because it is the correct and only way?" Because that was dang sure the answer I got from JohnBurns and 4ager.

Or call and ask what scopes they'll put their TMOA reticle in.

That reticle combined with M1's would probably be ideal for what you are trying to do.

Here's a hint:

You're going to be more accurate and more effective DIALING distance and HOLDING windage, than the reverse. If you can dial both, great, but windage is subject to change far more and far faster than distance, to holding and making slight adjustments there per the conditions is often a better option than constantly dialing and tweaking when the conditions change slightly. Holding distance when you can dial it is just not as accurate.

Also, mil is going to give you just as good a system as does MOA, so don't limit yourself to just one if by chance the "best" you're looking at or for is only offered in mils.

But, you obviously know everything at this point so offering advice is pointless.

VX-6 2-12. They now have a new horizontal reticle for windage and of course, the CDS for elevation. I think you can get an MOA CDS.

So, that's twist for elevation, hold for windage, like someone posted earlier... cool
