[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 2531198, member: 64108"] What's the best way to measure sight height? open the bolt and pull it back until it is even with the scope eyepiece then measure from the center of the scope eyepiece to the center of the bolt How close does the elevation and temp need to be? depends on how far you are shooting, run it thru a calculator like Berger's with the different variables and see what the POI change is [URL]https://bergerbullets.com/ballistics-calculator/[/URL] I'll be using a nosler accubond, is the BC listed by Nosler good enough ? BC can vary quite a bit from gun to gun do to the rifling engraving the bullet ogive, it is best to get your drops validated and then get the turret made, remember, any changes in the bullet or ammo you're shooting will render the turret useless, as will a rangefinder that doesn't compensate for angles. Have you considered just getting an MOA or Mil turret and just dialing for your drops ? That way it is good for any bullet/ammo combination. [/QUOTE]
