I have a NF scope that came with it's turrets. I have 8 Leupold scopes and was wondering what replacement knobs I should go with. I have 7 Leupolds that are 4.5x14x40 and 1 that is a Vary X II, 6x18x40.
I'd like to put the target style turrets on all of them. I've heard that the simple Stoney Points are fine, I've heard of Kenton Industry, and a few others.
I'm not well versed in this area and am trying to move fwd into the precision shooting. I've seen the Beyond Belief video, I've seen the argument on "spin a shoot" and having drop charts, etc.
I guess the toughest thing I deal with is sighting in my rifles here in Ohio or Kentucky, then hunting in Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, etc., and finding that my POI has always been different once I get there. I knew it would be but some rifles are different than others.
For instance, my 7mag was 5" low at 330 yards in KY, when I got to WY, it wouldn't even hit the target box but the windage was still centered. It turned out to be about 11" low once I got out west. I adjusted the scope for the western hunt, then when I got back, I checked it and it was an inch high at 330.
I'm not so concerned about my hunts here, I don't have any place in KY to shoot at deer beyond 400 yards, my concern is my annual western hunts.
