Long range rifle scopes

We always dial for elevation.  If the wind is a constant value, then we will dial for windage as well.  The nice thing about the NP-R1 reticle or a similar style, is that is has moa based windage and elevation marks.  If you have a variable wind that is just to shifty, then you can adjust on the fly just before taking the shot.  In windy conditions that are variable, we leave the windage turret alone and call correction just before taking the shot.   The elevation marks come in handy for quick corrections should you hit high or low, no dialing for a followup shot.  This doesn't happen often, but occasionally your range will be correct, but you could have an updraft of downdraft that will cause a miss.  The reticle allows you to see how much you missed by and make a quick correction and followup shot. 

At a bare minimum, in a long range scope, a guy needs elevation and windage turrets, and a reticle with windage marks of some sort.

My dad went with a Leupold and the turrets he's happy with it but I'm not into dialing a bunch of clicks. I bought a schmidt and bender and had a Holland reticle installed in it. No dialing. Its all in the crossairs. All MOA.

My opinion Huskemaw is the best long range scope but spendy.

I shoot a zeiss 6.5-20x50 with target turrets on a 300 RUM in the sendero model. Love the scope and my farthest confirmed distance with accuracy is 1250

I just went with a greybull leupold scope on my christensen arms 300 and so far it is awesome. I havent got the custom turret  made yet cause im still working on different handloads. nice scope and is fairly lightweight.

I have a leupold Mark4 6.5-20x50 on my Rem. 700 in 7mm RUM. shooting 168 bergers. I have shot the gun from 100 to 1000 yards. I have zero complaints. I have custom turrets for it as well they don't cost much and leupold gets them to you fast.
