What do you think of bullet drop compensator (bdc) reticles on scopes? I got one on a scope and find the reticle is an annoyance. I kind of feel I got suckered into a gimmick.

I think they are great as long as you are shooting those kind of distances. If not, they just will prove to be an annoyance. Also you must kno how far the target is in order to line it up correctly. But if you are making those long shots, they will prove to be very helpful and may even be the difference between coming home empty handed or being bale to pack the freezer.

The Leupolds work fine with the appropriate loads but I prefer adjustable turret knobs so I can dial in the distance given to me from my range finder. I have always been concerned that somehow the turrets will not actually be at the range dialed but for several years this has never happened so I suppose it is a non-issue.

I have not taken a shot over 75 yards in the last seven years. The longest shot I've ever taken was 210 yards. I don't see the need for one. This year I told my hunting buddies that I wasn't even going to take my rifle to the land. Bow only all season.

Most of them work great, you just need to practice, and learn where your load and caliber hit at different yardage. I love the ballistic plex in my Burris Eurodiamond and have a lot more faith and ability in making clean one shot kills at ranges I wouldn't attempt with a normal scope. Once you learn how to use it, they give you actuall aiming points instead of just holding over and guessing. With a rest I have made several 450+yard one shot kills.

I have a Burris Fullfield with ballistic plex. I like it, it works and its unobtrusive. Using and sighting in loads according to instructions, simple, I've been on target out to 300. Haven't tried further and have heard better check the 400-500 before trusting it.
