[QUOTE="DartonJager, post: 1696611, member: 95733"] It took me more time than I will ever admit to and more money than I will allow myself to EVER calculate to FINALLY accept that your scope is as if not MORE important than your rifle. I have fianlly accepted the fact that if I want to shoot beyond 400 yards I will have to get a scope with turrets to adjust for wind drift and elevation/bullet drop. My choice as soon as i sell the two still new in box "learning curve scopes" I have will be a Leupold VX6 HD 3-18x40mm with TMOA reticle with locking turrets that are also equipped with zero set. This will do all i will ever need to any range i can ever dream of including ranging any target I wish to perforate. My adivse to you is to get as high quality a scope you can afford that can be adjusted for wind drift, bullet drop and parallax. That way you can shoot to any range you wish and never have to worry about matching your reticles hash marks to one VERY spacific ammunition characteristics. With a MIL/MIL or MOA/MOA scope once you know your ammunition specifics you can enter it along with atmospheric conditions and range into a smart phone app dial and shoot. Can't really do that with a BDC scope. [/QUOTE]
