[QUOTE="D.ID, post: 473012, member: 14340"] First I am no expert but I'll throw out my opinion based on my experience. Your milage may vary but for me it is a matter of targeted purpose and budget. If kill zone of big game at ranges of 5-700 max with an efficient caliber are you goal then even some very inexpensive optics like nikon's prostaff do that very well with speed and total reliability but add more distance and things get loose and you run out of specific aiming points. Either method suggests an anti cant devise (level). Turret scopes require more scrutiny in there adjustments and therefor a higher expense is incurred to acquire reliable and REPEATABLE adjustments, more time setting up for the shot and a check of adjustment position even for those sudden close range opportunities. With the bdc scopes you still need real data and still need a drop chart but they are allot faster. For thousand yard bullseye competition you need more magnification and finer adjustments than most bdc scopes offer. I use several different nikon bdc scopes on our general purpose hunting rifles 725yard max expectation. For the designated long range rigs turrets just made more cents but they are requiring more investment in there glass. OK that was my 2 cents which is only worth .0001 if your trying to get a refund.
