[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 1140414, member: 48559"] On the BDC turret issue: Your stated use range for the rifle shouldn't be a big problem for custom engraved turrets. Until you get out to 650-700 and beyond, it takes a pretty big temp or altitude change to make enough difference in your drops to cause a miss. Without restarting the MOA/Mil vs yardage turret wars, one turret can serve many conditions with a little careful planning. Give the archive article on the Huskemaw scope on the homepage a read, and in there the author describes re-zeroing a BDC turret for different conditions (within reason) to achieve satisfactory results. Run drop charts on your chosen load for all the different conditions in which you expect to use the rifle and see just how far you can shoot before any divergence errors will become an issue. You can have one turret made for the conditions in which you expect to take the longest shots, and use it for shorter ranges without excessive POI/POA problems. THLR.NO on youtube also discusses using BDC turrets in differing conditions effectively. [/QUOTE]
