Huskemaw Optics

I watched one of the hunting shows and the guys rifle was topped with one of these.  He turned the turret to the yardage of the target and dropped the bull.  Anyone own one of these scopes?

Lots of scopes have the ability to do that now a days...Leupold CDS, Night Force, Vortex, etc..
Heck if you have a vxII and your load data, send it to Leupold and they will make a dial for you for $100 or so.

A lot of guys on here run them. I have them on all my long range rifles. It really makes it simple to be able to adjust to the yardage but you really have to spend time proving your gun and loads. I just got a new set for my 340wby the other day for the new load I am working on. It's shooting bug holes but I still need to do more extended range shooting to prove the dial.

The elevation dial is pretty simple. The windage dial is the one that takes a lot to get the hang of. The amount of drift with the wind is hard to get right. You have to figure out wind speed and value of the wind drift. Like if the wind is at a 90 degree angle to you target for full value adjustment or if its at a 45. Then adjust the dial to match.

There are companies that make custom turrets for many scopes.  I have one from Kenton Industries on a Sightron scope, but some of the ones I've used with Night Force and Vortex scopes seemed nicer.  Like jackelope and carpsniper were saying, as long as you get very accurate load data and then practice, they're a great tool.  As far as the Huskemaw scope itself goes, I've never gotten the chance to use one but I have heard good things about them.

I killed a bear at 550 yards with my huskemaw but there was no wind, the wind part is the hardest part of the scope to get down. I like the scope but sometimes wish I'd left my leupold 4x12 on.

i have a kenton turret on one of my rifles, and in most conditions it will work to 500 or 600 yards... but much past that and ambient temo and pressure play too big a role for it to be reliable IMO.

Great for work on critters. Fast and accurate enough. For utmost precision, much prefer dialing it up.
