I am thinking about a new scope for an elk rifle I’d like to put together. I realize most of the better scopes with turrets are fairly heavy and I’m trying to keep the weight down, so I am considering a scope with some inch tube and a ballistic plex type reticle.
How accurate are the ballistic reticles from the various manufacturers like the Leupold Boone and Crockett, Burris ballistic plex and others?
It seems that they really couldn’t be that close at 200, 300 and further yards with all the different velocities and bullet styles that folks might use in them.
If it’s a second focal plane scope they are calibrated for use on the highest setting correct? I assume you could shoot them at other settings to get a different trajectory, but if I am going to have to dial a certain power I might as well dial a turret.
When dialing a turret do you have to have the scope on a certain power if it’s a second focal plane?
I’ve just always used a plex reticle but would like to expand my knowledge.
Thanks,
Dan
