[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 598974, member: 21068"] I dont personally have one. But it seems to me that it is a simplified version of the Huskemaw system, and we wouldn't have to send the data off and wait to get the turret built. It can be set up for that rifle/load right there on the range. I don't know anything about Swarovskis' tracking and turret repeatability/accuracy, but if it's on par with their optics; I wouldn't be afraid to buy one. It is a light weight scope that would fit well on a sporting weight rifle. On the other hand, a 257 weatherby is a flat shooting gun that doesn't require any dialing or special reticle to shoot big game out to 400 yds. I've done it with my 25-06 many times and the weatherby is even better. A downside to the scope is that it's not available with a hold over or hash style reticle, so we'd be stuck with using the dial (huskemaw is the same, we [U]have[/U] to dial for elevation on stuff beyond 400 yds). Personally, if I am going to spend $1500+ on a scope; I want it to have some sort of hash/holdover/ranging reticle [U]and[/U] good turrets, but getting all that in a lightweight scope has proven kinda tough to do.
