[QUOTE="davewilson, post: 242032, member: 4491"] won't claim to have a great amount of experience in the long range game, but i have come to the conclusion that i would rather have extra dots/crosshairs than cranking the turrets. if you're only concerned with a very efficient hunting rifle, i think this is a better system. especially if you're only going to 600 or so. if shooting distances are much father, cranking the turrets is the only option. i have one of those 4-12x40 Lupy's that i sent to Premier Reticles probably 20 years ago. he put 3 dots on it under the main crosshair for my load with 150 partitions that corresponds to 300, 400, and 500 yards, and to this day that gun will just flat out put the bullets in there at those distances. i also have a custom dedicated long range rig with turrets, a reticle locking system and the whole 9 yards. my advice is if you plan on cranking turrets, you better have a VERY good scope as this is deffinitely the weak link in the system. personnally, i would not choose Leupold if i was planning on cranking the turrets for different ranges.
