[QUOTE="BCMAG2, post: 887349, member: 60396"] It is not clear from your post what you consider to be "long range" shooting. You've indicated that you are aware of the effects of altitude and temperature on ballistics, but then you state that you want a yardage marked dial for ease of use. Beyond 600 yards, you can not have it both ways, in my experience. The effects of barometric pressure, temperature, humidity, shot angle, etc., on trajectory become too great to effectively generalize with a yardage marked turret. So in my view at least, if you want to take ethical shots at game beyond 600 yards, you need MOA marked turrets. As for speed of correction, check out the G7 BR2 range finder sold on this site. With one push of the button it measures range, shot angle, baro, and temp, and gives you the MOA corrections based on your exact load inputs almost instantly, and it works to 1400 yards. As for your choice in scopes, out West its either Nightforce 5.5-22x or Leupold 6.5-20 LRT, usually depending on your budget. [/QUOTE]
