[QUOTE="Nimrodmar10, post: 662292, member: 36369"] I started to order turrets for some of my guns but then I got to thinking about how many I'd need for each rifle. One for summer, one for winter, one for Tennessee and one for the Rockies. Figure $100 each for three guns and you get to $1200 in a hurry. So I got to looking for an alternative. Now I'm just an old Tennessee Hillbilly so I'm not too fancy. I can use slick and shiny, but I can use utilitarian too. I'm an electrician by trade and for control wiring we use wire numbers to identify individual wires. These numbers come in either books or sheets and are cheap. You can get one sheet that will do you for a lifetime for about a buck. I set my scope for 200 yards and set the zero stop there. I then shoot the rifle at each range until I have a good zero for that range and apply a single number for that range, 2 for 200, 3 for 300, etc. The numbers are fabric based and I've never had one slip yet. I can record the drop tables for each shooting condition and move the numbers to the appropiate places on the turret. No fuss, no muss. And they don't look bad. The numbers are almost exactly the same size as 1 MOA on my HS turrets on my NightForce NXS scopes. If you need more than one rotation to get you to your max distance, just put the first round low and the second round high. The brand I use is Bradymarker Labels at [URL="http://www.bradyid.com"]www.bradyid.com[/URL] but I'm sure you can find something close at your local Radio Shack or electrical supply. I may not be too fancy, but I "Get her Done" [/QUOTE]
