[QUOTE="406precision, post: 1077387, member: 69335"] You seem pretty set on yardage turrets so by all means proceed, I do think if you started a poll on how many here have tried and moved on from them you would see some interesting results...my only question is why? As has been stated a moa or mil based turret can be used with either rangefinder you mentioned and is much more versatile than yardage turrets. There is no need for a yardage turret if you have a rangefinder with built in ballistic calculator...you simply range the object and dial the appropriate amount of correction. What are you using to establish your velocity, bc , and drops to have your yardage turret made??? Any error during this process will hamstring you with invalid data to start with. What about changes in lots of powder etc...? Adding a yardage turret to a scope is adding one more variable to the mix when you don't have to. I have seen enough failures in the field to subscribe to the KISS principle when it comes to this stuff. There is nothing that can compete with field proven data when it comes to shooting at extended ranges and adding unneeded variables is a good way to get bad information.
