[QUOTE="ss7mm, post: 93378, member: 5"] Derek M: I have had good luck in sending Leupolds back and having the target type turrets installed on them. If it’s a 1” tube you can only have the target types installed. I have a couple of Nightforces and as you probably already know, you can not turn the Leupold turrets into anything close to the Nightforce, but you can make them a lot easier to use. As far as the arguments you talked about with the dial for the range/conditions vs. the fixed “dial and shoot” turrets like John uses I would just say that I know of no dedicated, long to extreme range shooters that use the “dial and shoot” turrets. It’s just too much of a compromise. Get some good ballistic softare, a Palm or PC with good software on it for the field and put a lot of bullets down range. If you are going to be shooting beyond 500-600 yards I personally think you will be better off knowing the conditions of every shot and dialing for the distance. You need to make the best shot possibly, not one that is compromised by a turret that is good only under certain conditions. Yes you can use them but every time you take a shot it will be less than precise. If that’s o.k. then go with what works for you. I also feel that you will have better luck with the software, Palm/PC, and related drop data etc. when it comes to the different conditions you have mentioned. Just my opinion and you know what they are worth.
