[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 606982, member: 34084"] From a ballistics point of view, very good advice. Change altitude by 2,000 ft, and you need the change turrets and rezero. Change bullets or move the scope to a different rifle? Yep, change turrets. Go down this road as a beginner and be prepared to buy a few turrets. Or limit yourself to a shorter range, say <400-500 yds, depending on the caliber. From an optical performance point of view, I'm not wild about Sightron SIII variable mag scopes. Glare performance is average. Glare matters on a hunting scope. IMHO, there are better scopes (optically speaking) out there for a similar price. Either way you go, I recommend that you get some kind of wind meter so that you can learn to estimate wind in the field. This does not require shooting. Take the wind meter with you when you hike, walk the dog, etc. Learn to correlate measured wind speed with grass, leaf, twig and branch movement. Hold the meter up high when you take a reading.
