[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 19572, member: 319"] I've been thinking about this subject lately as I've come to the conclusion I don't want turrets for an upcoming horseback elk hunt. I've found that the new Leupold Varmint Hunters Reticle is a pretty close match for my rifle (200 AccuBond @ 3177). Even with turrets, I always hunt with that load zeroed at 300 yds. With the VHR, the first line will be dead nuts on at 400, the second dead nuts on at 500 and the third will be "pretty close" to on at 600. More like 625 or so--I'll just need to shoot it and see. But the more I think about it, the more I want to give it a try. I forgot to mention, naturally the windage marks are off...but they happen to be almost exactly off by a factor of two. So the 10MPH wind drift marks will be 20 MPH marks. Not ideal, but it would give one a quick reference. [ 07-20-2004: Message edited by: Jon A ] [/QUOTE]
