Anyone ever used them? Would you recommend them and what scope did you have them made for?

Wastickslinger just sold one, you might send him a PM.

If I was getting a Nightforce I would get one so it read in yards.

I have one on my 7 mag and Burris scope. I would save the cash and learn to use a ballistic calculator.  :twocents: differing conditions ( temp pressure and elevation) will change correction substantially outside 500 or so yards. And also you are limited to one specific load... Spend that money on a kestrel for pressure and temp and get a app on your phone. Imo

With a rangefinder that compensates for temp, pressure, elevation the turrets are pretty handy

if it already compensates then it should give correction in moa or mils. At that point you just dial moa or mils.  :dunno:

Very user friendly and super quick to dial up. Had one one my monarch. Sold the scope and just ordered a new Kenton. I will have a few Kenton knobs built this year. Be sure you know your load is what you want for sure. Looks like they have decent prices on scopes and you get a free turret

We've had them on several leupolds and a vortex now. I'm going to order one for my nightforce once I get the right load figured out. I am not a "long range hunter" and I don't want to bring multiple gadgets with me to be able to shoot an animal. Range, dial, shoot. You can get dials burned with yardage as well and moa marks as well, which I will do on my nightforce just for use on targets.

I do a lot of custom gun setups and all I use is Kenton industries, there customer service is second to none. Last year they made a mistake on a turret and Deborah Kenton called me herself to straighten it out.
