[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1479883, member: 10291"] One of my rifles, a Cooper/Huskemaw 6.5x284 with a [U]Custom Turret Tape[/U], an accurately calibrated tape that attaches to the turret. It’s a very cost effective(<$25For 3 tapes and a wind chart) approach. It is calibrated to an average set of conditions that I hunt for ‘yardage”, and includes an “MOA” scale along the lower portion(shown below). At 500 yards or less across a wide range of atmospheric conditions, POI is accurate to +/- 1 click(.33MOA) at 500 Yards. For shots beyond 500 yards, using measured atmospherics, I will revert to the MOA scale. I have found this system to be exceptionally fast, accounting for precise shots on game to 1200 Yards, varmints further. While I prefer using the MOA scale for the +500 yard shots, as has been mentioned, the Gunwerks G7 RF, when programmed for “yardage” compensation, and using a yardage turret calibrated for a given set of conditions, will calculate an ‘adjusted” yardage value that are compensated for atmospheric changes. If I choose to use another system of ranging and ballistic calculation(Terrapin/Kestral, Sig 2400 etc), my MOA scale on the turret is utilized.
