[QUOTE="X3MHunter, post: 397549, member: 18756"] I use the regular duplex reticle on my Leupolds. I then send the scopes to Leupold and have them put target turrets on them, when I get them back, I go out and develop a drop chart by shooting at multiple distances, then I take an envelope label and print the distances on there and tape it to the turret. I now can just dial to the distance (4 = 400, 5 1/2 = 550, etc). I think the quick holdover reticles are never going to be dead on for your rifle, the hard part is if you learn to use in and then you go on an elk hunt with a big elevation difference than the place where you learned to use your reticle, then it will be off. Where as in your turret, you can just change the envelope label with the new data and you are ready to do. What I do is I have a turret for Texas where I hunt most of the time, and the another turret for Colorado. So what I do, I keep one turret on my elevation dial and the other on the windage dial, then switch them when I need to. -X3M [/QUOTE]
