[QUOTE="John Burns, post: 19574, member: 2164"] Kwanjangnihm The scope we set up has the standard Leupold target turrets with 1/4-minute clicks/ 15 minute per rev. The BDC for our standard calibers are marked to 900 yds on the first rev with a 200 yd zero. (.245 BC/ G7 @ 3450 fps, 30 deg temp, 7000 ft elevation). With the 30mm tube most systems will dial on to over 1500 yds. Reticle has ½ minute dots spaced at 2minutes for wind holds. It also has ranging lines space from 3 minutes to 8 minutes below the main cross hair. Jon A, For what it is worth I carried a rifle set up with Leupold target turret on the elevation for more than 200 miles on horseback last season with no troubles. We equip all our rifles for the show the same way and with the proper scabbard have never had a problem. 2 years ago we did have a horse fall directly on the scabbard and it did bend the scope ever so slightly, enough to move the zero about 4 minutes but I think?? it would have done the same to a scope with coin turrets. I have also carried a scope with the M1 elevation turret in a scabbard and not had a problem but I always paid close attention when inserting or removing the rifle. The standard target turrets with the covers are less hassle and make me feel better. I don’t install windage turrets because I like to use dots in the reticle and the way they stick out the side makes them a hassle in a scabbard. The side focus feature on the 30 mm Everybody has their own ideas that’s just my experience. Where is you elk hunt? [/QUOTE]
