[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 910624, member: 35183"] The most universal turret, that is always correct, is the one sold with your scope, calibrated in MOA or Mils. You print out your drop data, laminate it and take it with you. Verify zero at one of the elevations that match a drop card, then when in the field just use the appropriate drop chart or an application like shooter. Dial the required elevation and windage and your all set. Custom turrets are for people who have lots of disposable income. The TV shows don't show you that they probably have 6 turrets for each rifle/load and pick the most appropriate one for the shoot. Most of the shows that show people using them, are also the people making them. If you hunt in the midwest where your elevation is likely to be fairly constant and where the daily temperature is going to be close to the seasonal average, you may be alright. But in the mountains where pressure temperature and elevation are changing day to day, you would need a lot of custom turrets to pick from if they are to be acceptably accurate. Possibly 3 elevations each with 3 temperatures = about as much money as a scope... Keep it simple and honest or go big and buy a bunch of them. [/QUOTE]
