If you have a TMR reticle I think Kenton can engrave the wind hold in Mil or MOA above the custome elevation knob. That way you can use the knob to dial up elevation and look for the corresponding hold to use the TMR or mildot reticle. They did this on a friends Mk4 M1 knob and he likes it for...
Zeiss does not engrave their own turrets. They have been referring all the work over to Kenton Industries. I have a Zeiss 6.5-20 X 50 and it is the best scope I have owned in terms of ruggedness and optical quality. I think swarovski is the best in terms of optics, but they are behind the curve...
I have a zeiss conquest 6.5-20x50 AO on my 340 Accumark and have Kenton Turrets. They are basically the Zeiss Factory Knobs custom engraved. I have a Speed dial one turn (18MOA) out to 900 yards. The markings are large and bright for my old dim eyes. I have taken elk out to 650 yards with them...
I have a Kenton Industries turret on my ruger M77 in .270 and it works great.
I have it out to 700 yards one turn. Its been on my rifle for about 5 years.
I have a Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20 x 50 with target turrets. I swapped these out for Kenton L.R. Hunter turrets. Two turns is 36MOA and that gets me out to
1400+ yards with a 340 wby. Longer than I need to go!
They are "bang" on too! ;-)

I'd give Mark Kenton a call. He is really good at letting you know just what the turrets can and can't do for you. He is always easy to talk to once you get a hold of him. I hear he's very busy these days, but he is willing to answer questions all the time.

My friend dumped a 7 by 6 Bull Elk in its tracks smack in the middle of Oregon at 683 yards with an Accumark. Droped it like the Hammer of Thor! His rifle does not have a break and the recoil is not noticeable to me at all when I shoot it. With 225gr Nosler Accubonds stoked with 86 grains VIht...
I'm looking for some RKI's to give me feedback on a magnum research rifle I've had my eye on. It an older Moutain Eagel model in 340 wby that has a 24" krieger barrel a modified Sako action and an HS precision stock. haven't had any experinece with these rifles , but I know the Sako actions are...
Roy in Idaho has it right on about the objective height measurement.
As far as chronographs, I have a Crony Beta and it gives me consistent data when set up according to the directions.
I think Kenton Industries Turrets are very good. I have them on my .270 and they are spot on with my...
