[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1120074, member: 54178"] StrutNut, Go to The Precision Rifle Blog and look up the 1st scope test. The info on turret tracking accuracy is there. acourvil, Whether you are using your center crosshair or a lower/side crosshair makes no difference in aiming. "A crosshair is a crosshair", so to speak. Which mil/MOA tick you use should make no difference in a scope with GOOD lenses and no barrel distortion. WWB, I read the article on lensatic distortion in your post. It's eye-watering in its detail. Yes, off-center distortion can be a problem but with GOOD lenses it should not be nearly enough to place an aiming point on, say an H59 reticle in a Schmidt & Bender scope, further off actual target, or even as far, than an error in turret tracking. I'll side with the folks I've referenced on this matter. It all boils down to testing with a Lead Sled type rifle rest in zero wind conditions to eliminate shooter error as much as possible. The rest can hold far better than we can. [/QUOTE]
