[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 588209, member: 10291"] I agree with most all your comments and fully agree with your acknowledgment that whatever approach, MOA, turret, or Reticle you must have solid ballistics information calculated for the actual conditions. But I think you leave the definite impression that reticles, and in my case a preference for turrets, are substandard approaches and designed for the microwave crowd. I have used all of them for hunting and target shooting out to 1000 yards, my effective hunting range. A calibrated turret combined with ballistics knowledge for fine tuning for current conditions, for me has proven to be the most effective long range hunting technique. I usually don't have all the time in the world for a shot for messing around with charts or calculators( I do have them with me though) , and lighting might be poor so it's difficult to see MOA scales on a turret. Time is critical and if I do have it I'd rather use it for confirmed wind doping. If I'm target shooting yes, I prefer MOA , if I'm hunting I'll take ballistic turrets that are precisely made for my hunting area and commit current condition adjustments to memory. I don't give up anything to an MOA system and have had good hunting success. Just an alternative viewpoint, each to their own. [/QUOTE]
