They have a pretty decent turnaround time and they do a good job. One thing about leupold is that they have great customer service. Call or email ahead and get the quotes for the shipping and services. I usually drop in a check.

Thanks for the advice guys, i'll make a decision and send it in for work.
I am not sure i like the idea of having the scope set up for a particular load for my .300wby in case i want to change loads again someday.
I was thinking more of the lines of the tacticle turrets where i sight it in and set it up my self for what i'm currently shooting.
I want to push my long range limits with my rifle and go from a 180gr Nosler ballistic tip shooting at 3250, down to a Swift Scirocco shooting at 3420 and want a scope to help me with the guesswork out past 300yds.

Hey slamdunk,
If you want a generic type knob you can use with different loads and easily take on and off check these out.

I have these on a 243 win. I use for varmit hunting, they work great.

I'M shipping an M8 6x42 today to Leupy for an M1 elevation turret only. I've got a rebarred .308 (22" SS 3-groove 10" twisty) waiting for a new stock.
45 DAYS TILL DEER SEASON OPENS IN ALASKA!!!
New Mex results tomorrow . . . . . . . . . .
I haven't heard great things about the Stoney Points, but I've never personally tried them.

the thing i like about the custom cut turrets, they are simple. you dont have to carry a chart and worry about how many revulutions you'v made or number of clicks, if you want to dial in for a 750 yard shot, turn the knob to 750, your done! and fwiw, these turrets are by no means permenant, have two cut for your differnt bullets, they come off with a simple allen head set screw.

It's no replacement for the real thing. Plus it's too much of a hassle when swapping loads or swapping scopes. There's other things you can't adjust for. Say for example the a lot of powder gives you a different velocity, or you live at a low elevation and go into higher elevations to hunt. If you have time to range an animal and twist a turret, a glance at chart taped to your stock isn't going to slow you down none.

I also recommend Muskeg's setup. The M1 ele knob is awesome.
daniel, how much do you adjust for elevation and temp.? for me it is a mute point while hunting. i do carry a chart, but its for somthing much mor important then the temp. Wind, at long range is just as important as elevation (not the sea level kind either), i am sure you know this however.

REDDOG, it isn't much I'll agree. But every little bit of potential accuracy/correction is worth it to me. With the rising costs of tags/fuel/ammo/everything, if I fail on a hunt, I would like to know the limiting factor was myself and not my equipment.
My main point is, I like to maximize the uses of my scope and putting the range adjusted "turret" on one is more like a BDC to me than a true turret. Why limit the use of your equipment?
Of course wind is anyone's game and separates true shooters from the rest of us. I unfortunately suck at it (but getting better) Anyone can compensate for range, that is just physics. But reading and dialing/holding for wind is black magic in itself. I usually dial for ele, and hold for wind when hunting.

I good rule of thumb to remember for distance over 600 yards is for every 20 degrees of temperature change & any altitude change of 1000 feet you should add ? min or subtract ? min from your established data. This is good for most bullets leaving the muzzle over 2900fps with a BC of .500 or higher.

The main thing I don't not like about the stonypont turret set up is, if you get off one revolution you have no way of knowing where your zero is + you only have 15MOA to work with before loosing track of your zero

When you get your scope back come up for a day to shoot the 1600yrd range.
