Post by: black hog on January 29, 2015, 03:40:21 PM: Anyone ever used them? Would you recommend them and what scope did you have them made for?

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:

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

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.
