Scope turrets

[Lewdan 17]

Hi All,

Any one know where i can get hold of some Retro-fit target turrets/Knobs, may be usefull to set and mark for varying ranges. Does anyone use them? are they worth getting?

Cheers

some manufacturers make then for their own scopes, Zeiss make turrets and a selection of graduated labels that they stick on them to match up to a range of trajectories/cartridge types, Leupold also offer a custom BDC turret system for their scopes, but with both i'm pretty sure you have to send them back to the factory for it to be fitted.

TBH, I don't think they have much use in a sporting environment given that most modern calibres are pretty flat shooting and I don't think many people regularly shoot beyond 200m in woodland and farmland stalking the exception might be foxing, or shooting on the open hill, then for the turrets to work, you need an accurate range finder......again more expense.....I'd just learn the bullet drop, get out there and do some shooting, then you'll know how much kentucky windage to give..... Just my opinion...
