I haven't stirred the Leupold pot in a few weeks, recon I'm behind.
A friend's son (don't tell him I told ya'll, keep this between us, but its Hondo64D's son) was a Sniper in the Army. He passed the Sniper School at Ft Benning, which you've probably seen on the discovery channel. He also was a member of a team the army put together to compete in civilian tactical shooting matches. The young man always placed near the top in large classes of extremely qualified and accomplished shooters. Seems like I remember that he also was on an international army team that competed with armed forces around the world.
Long story short, he prefers a Christmas Tree reticle and holds over way more often than he dials. Why? The standard issue Leupold tactical scopes don't track worth a crap so they had to hold over out of necessity.
True story.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Maybe Doug could get Bevis and Butthead from the Leupold Campfire Exclusive Webinar to contact the lad. I'm sure they could clear things right up.

He's likely not doing it right and needs a TOUR around said aiming device. Most likely they need to physically verify the horizontal distance with a tape measure before dialing adjustments rather than relying on a range finder.

Seriously, I'm mainly a hunter who occasonally dables in friendly local competition. Being a hunter I trust no scope when twisting dials. I only twist dials at the range. In the field I go with what brung me. Not being a knob twister I don't give a big crap if my scope doesn't track perfectly. I think that's what BDC scopes are made for. Use your holdovers and windage and leave the knobs along in the field.
