[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1207519, member: 7999"] There is lots of preference as to scope reticles and dialing or both. It will kind of depend on how you learn it. I think most like both. I personally like a plain cross hair and just dial the solution. Even with the MOA reticle I prefer to dial if I can. As far as in the field solutions go, I tape a drop chart on the but of my rifle and match it with the ranged yardage to target and dial the solution. If there is not enough time for that then there is not enough time to make the shot. This is easier with exposed turrets, although most of mine are covered. The other thing we do is hunt in a pair. One guy on the rifle concentrating on setting up to shoot and the other figuring out the solution. Once the shooter is in place the spotter has the solution and tells the shooter what it is. Shooter then just dials or holds the reticle for the dope provided. I do know that if I am in a big hurry to get everything ready I will probably not make a good shot. So I do not take the shot if it is hurried and or not comfortable. My .02 Steve [/QUOTE]
