[QUOTE="Len Backus, post: 427636, member: 1"] I do. I highly recommend them. And on the matter LouBoyd brought up, it is VERY easy to make minor adjustments with a custom BDC set up for one set of conditions when yo are using a rifle with a different load and different conditions.. In fact, I shot a coyote at 300 yards out in WY 3 days ago. The screen print below shows the BDC parameters (243) and my actual load and conditions on the hunt (6.5-284). The white backgrounded numbers are in MOA. There are 2 ways you can compensate. One is to have a cheat sheet for adding or subtracting so many clicks at different ranges. The 2nd is to simply zero the rifle at a different range than the BDC assumes. You can also do a hybrid combination of the 2 methods. My brain is dead from driving 12 hours straight through today to get back. So if necessary maybe a fresher brain among you can take my example further -- or point out my errors and correct them. I will be using this rifle and load with the 243 turret next month out there for deer hunting. I will be comfortable taking an 800 yd shot using the concept. Again, brain dead, so maybe my actual sighting range, etc, isn't correct. [IMG]http://www.longrangehunting.com/images/bdc-adjust-example.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
