[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2516122, member: 1951"] That is an excellent choice. It includes positivly locking turrets. I think you will be happy with the lock feature. It locks on your optic of choice. Some lighter hunting scopes use a fairly short turret and then cap it to prevent unwanted turns. The last effective method would be something like tape in place. Also, you should look at you ballistic charts. At 1000yds, in a 30mph crosswind, I need 6.2 mils of horizontal hold or dialing. That is extreme. I cannot imagine a stable enough wind condition to hold more than 3-4mils when shooting. That is more of a poke and hope practically speaking. I doubt I would ever hold more than 2mils in the real world! 10 mils It’s an option, but Tract Toric turrets lock. I think you will find in variable winds, the reticle is an easier hold. In strong consistent winds, dialing is a good option. None of this explains the zero stop feature which is there to stop you from going below zero and getting lost in the turret. People get lost in the elevation mostly in ELR. It can happen in the real world. My hunting load has me dial 7.9 mils at 1000 yards. Without zero stop, I could get lost, especially dialing the wrong direction. [/QUOTE]
