BDC or not?

[Davy Crockett]

I'm thinking of swapping my Leupold Mark 4 MR/T 3x9 from my AR to my .308 Rem700. Currently the scope has a 62 gr .223 dial on it so I'm debating if I should get a non-BDC dial or one calibrated for a common .308 round? I use this rifle for hunting and range use so it will see a variety of ammo. Based on this I figured a non-BDC dial is probably better since the clicks will be out anyways. Am I right in thinking this?

Also, is Korth the only option for a new dial?

If one is talking Leupold, Korth is it in Canada. They are THE distributor of Loop in Canada, so any scope has passed through their hands. The are the only service here and only service items that have passed through their business. The other alternative is shipping it to Oregon, this means postage both ways, a permit from our Feds, they get the permit to ship it back. I did this for two scopes, process took from April to mid October, cost me $55 and one came back i believe untouched by them with the same problem. I have since sold every Leupold product except the scope on my 375 Rum.

I have also sent all my leupolds the way of the dodo. BDC's are a gimmick. Conditions and muzzle velocity change all the time so they are probably only really good to 450ish yards. Unless you have some way of correcting the BDC turret for the changes it will really only be accurate for a certain set of conditions.
If your not really going to have your dial correspond to the distance most of the time why not just use Moa or mils? Oh wait, I know why - so they can sell you more crap and make more money while having everyone think they can dump an animal at 600+ yards.
Get a kestrel with the applied ballistics or Horus program or a G2 range finder if you really want to shoot far
