[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 221375, member: 704"] Your in the same boat I was 20 years ago, and it hasn't improved. I have an appointment with a surgeon next Tuesday. I have given up on Leuopold. Loved them in the 1980s, but they have gone down hill I recommend against cartridge matched turrets unless you always plan on hunting the same elevation, same temperatures, etc. If I want that for a specific day I run a program, wrap my turret with white tape and use fine tip Sharpies to write in my elevations. You can't go wrong with Nightforce Next I would recommend Vortex. I have a dozen scopes with mildots, but would trade them all for the newer minute of angle reticles that I have on five Vortex. I really like the 1/4 inch center opening for small targets and long range. Your chronograph readings may be perfect, but I would recommend after 100 yard sight in to shoot at 800 yards using a program that compensated for latitude, barometric pressure, humidity, temperature, and azmith of shot then another program that will adjust your velocity to match your 800 yard holdover. I have a Nikon that moves the reticle 21.5 inches (If I remember correctly) on a yard stick at 100 yards when I dial 20 inches. I had to add 43 fps to bring my scope and programs into agreement at 1000 yards. [/QUOTE]
