[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 2022188, member: 5219"] In many hunting scenarios the extra time to adjust the turret might have the animal moving out of view. IMO it is best to consider a useful trajectory by having the rifle's point of impact at 100 yards an inch high or more. A few examples: Muzzleloader 1" high at 100 is 5" low at 200. Perfect for elk where I hunt 257 weatherby 3.1" high at 100, dead on at 400, 8" low at 500 perfect for coues wt where shots are rarely closer than 300 yds. My varmint rig a 6mm-284 shoots the 55 gr nosler bt @ 4100. I set this one up .8" high at 100, 5" low at 350. See a coyote while walking just point and shoot. Why twist a turret while hunting unless you have to? [/QUOTE]
