Question if you use a ballistic software do you still need turrets?

No you do not but turrets are a much better way to go. You don't have to count clicks. Also you don't have to look at a sheet or carry a card. All the info is already on the dials. So you just have to judge wind and turn your dials.

Can you post a picture of your dials?

Here is a picture of the dials on my 340wby. Mine starts at 100, you can have them made to start with your zero at 200 if you want. As you can see there is a mark for different yardages. You just turn your dial to your range. These are the target dials. The cds dials are smaller.

They can actually be zeroed at any range that you want.  I usually go with a 250 or 300 yard zero so I can get to 800 yards in a spin.

Yes indeed. Mine goes to I think 650 on one spin. I do hunt with the rifle and shoot it at fairly close ranges at time. So that is why I went with just a 100 yard zero/first mark.

I am using the LR.  All 6.5-20x50.  Tough to beat that scope.  I have NF as well, but the Leupold LR is much lighter than the NF.   A plus on some of my mid-weight rifles.

Mine are the 6.5-20x50 LR and the 8.5-25x50 LR. I also have them on a couple black guns with the mark ar dials. You can have the standard scopes converted by sending them in to leupold. The dials are like 60.00, not sure what the fee is to have them upgraded to take the turrets. I have never done that to any of mine. If you want one right out of the box to take turrets get the cds or lr/target models.

     The NF was my first choice for my 1000 yrd gun but they are almost 1lb heavier then the Leupold. Cant have that one a light weight rifle.

Just sent my Leupold VX-III 4.5-14x50 in to have them install the CDS adjustment with BDC dial. Was told it was about a 3 week turn around.  Next will be a Rangefinder with angle compensater. Looking forward to trying some long range shooting.
