[QUOTE="BGE541, post: 753726, member: 61984"] I personally have not but would like to offer my .02 if I could... I see more shooters/hunters going toward this trend of BDC knobs and the like. I AM NOT SAYING these cannot or will not work under set conditions but I would urge you to develop the skills to use a regular scope ret (milradian or MOA) and marked turrets for adjust your scope. You can find a scope like these for approx the same price as a Nikon. My reasoning is this... There is a very slim change you will repeatedly shoot with the exact same enviro effects. All which play into overall bullet to target "drop". So lets say one day the cloudes part and the sun raises your ambient temp up 20* with all other factors staying the same (which is rare) Example: 175 SMK out of a 308 @ say 2600fps 32* 50% hum 200 ft Alt No wind sitting at +14.9 mil Now all same factors accept the temp is now 52* would leave you at +14.4mil So a difference of .5 mil (98.35 inches) at 1000 meters based on alittle sun! I dont know about you but it would be disappointing to miss and Elk, Bear ect or even worse just clip them instead of spending alittle more time with platform which will be extremely fruitful for you in many reasons. Again, I mention this not so much towards the OP but from a fellow shooter who recognizes a trend the does not ulitmately help build a true understanding of the (our) surroundings as responsible shooters and hunters! Enjoy! [/QUOTE]
