[QUOTE="Spd522, post: 1550704, member: 107351"] I have a Z5 with the BT turret. It is on a 300 WM. The glass is great and I love the 3.5-18 flexibility. I have a 200 yd zero and settings for 300/400/500. But if I need to shoot beyond that, I have to dial for it above the presets. I was confronted with a shot at 825 on a nice 6x6 bull elk. I did the math on the number of clicks left in the turret, ballistic calculations from two sources, and the chart I had taped on the stock and came up with the same conclusion. I couldn't dial to where I needed to be. It pretty much maxed out at 600 yds. I was pretty sure where the holdover would be and had it been a piece of steel, I would have taken the shot. But I didn't want to risk a bad shot and just wound the elk so I passed. It has me considering moving the scope to a rifle I know I won't be shooting as far and putting something with more adjustment on the 300WM. [/QUOTE]
