I am shooting a 300 RSAUM, with a bushnell elite 4200 2.5x10 on it. Recently I have been practicing some longer range shooting. I eventually would like to upgrade the scope for a proper power for longer range shooting, but it is working fine out to 400 yds. I am looking to keep groups sufficient for hunting, not target competition. That being said, I don't like the idea of "hold over", I am not comfortable with judging the distances to hold over.
I see that you can pay some big dollars to have after market turrets installed.
On my scope I am able to adjust windage and elevation without a screw driver. If I was to calibrate the amount of clicks needed for 200, 300, 400, 450 yards and mark it on the dial, would this work?
This may seem like a stupid question, but I am figuring their must be a reason to purchase bdc turrets for the scope, rather then making my adjustments. The only thing slowing me down is I would have to unscrew the dust cap before adjusting, but I figure if I am looking at a 300 yd shot, I will have the time.
Thanks for any help
