[QUOTE="joseph, post: 455771, member: 19151"] Hi Vleder, Since you are living in Port Elizabeth, South Africa are you more accustomed to the metric system of measurement. If you are it is my suggestion that you stick with it. I am accustomed to feet & inches so I decided to stick with it. What I did was to have a custom turret made in (yards) so I could use my laser rangefinder in yards and not have to mentally convert to mils. Both systems work equally well. If you decide to go with a custom turret for elevation do not trust a computer program to give you the drop distances from your zero. Every rifle shoots differently. Once you field test your rifle then you can give the maker of the custom turret YOUR drops at the different distances. Since most laser rangefinders will display the distances in both feet & meters you can go with either when making your Custom turret. If no wind all you need to do is range your target, turn your custom elevation turret to that distance and shoot. IT IS THAT EASY!!! :) This is how I went about having mine made. I think it will help you. I am an advocate of a custom elevation turret. I hold for wind with the hash marks on my reticle. :) [url=http://forum.gon.com/showthread.php?t=559629&highlight=]Drop chart. - Georgia Outdoor News Forum[/url] [url=http://forum.gon.com/showthread.php?t=564977&highlight=]Testing new Vortex custom turret. - Georgia Outdoor News Forum[/url] [url=http://forum.gon.com/showthread.php?t=574886&highlight=]Field test: Vortex Viper 6-24x50mm PST MOA FFP scope. - Georgia Outdoor News Forum[/url] joseph [/QUOTE]
