    Well from reading these replies, I've reached a conclusion that hardly anyone actually dials their scopes when out shooting!

    Seems like most hunters are just using MPBR....."1 1/2 inches high at 100yds and that will do it".

    I suspect very few of the forum members are actually carrying rangefinders.....therefore no rangefinder = no dialing. And if you are not dialing then you would not be interested in accurate turret tracking tests...."Just give me a good optical clarity at 5 minutes before dark test".

    I'm always on my rangefinder and turrets....but then I'm not hunting in the bush.
    How many members actually dial their scopes and use rangefinders?

    A good job and a good wife has been the ruin of many a good hunter.
