At what shooting yardage do you think one should consider a turret style scope?
- I found that exposed turrets take too much of my attention when in the field. I just cant stop myself checking the turrets are still zeroed every time I take the rifle in hands. Unbuckle from the pack -check, un-shoulder - check, picked up from the ground- check, went through some bush - check, check, check, it just becomes too distracting and annoying for me instead of enjoying the nature and pursuit of the animal. Probably it is just me though
The whole idea of a close range (100y) zero and dialing for every shot is a great idea at the range, but when that 180” buck is 287 yards away and on his way out and youre referencing dope charts and spinning turrets youll really wish you maybe had a better game plan for a quick shot.
A lot of responses about time and holding being faster, so what times are y’all getting for holding versus dialing?
i think of it in terms of less to think about in a time pressured situation at a trophy you may not get another chance at.
is it inside my MPBR? yes- centerhold, BOOM. this can be done in very quick time.
so they way i see it is with MPBR you only need to think when exceeding MPBR. with turrets you need to think all the time.

Since it’s a backpack hunting forum, say the time from spotting an animal/target, ranging it, dropping your pack, getting into position (prone), and hitting consistently- say 90% hit rate on a deer sized vitals (10-12”) at odd ranges (265, 374, 429, etc)?
“Feeling” that something is faster, is very different than it actually being faster. So what’s that ”very quick time”?
