    Rifle Scopes Bullet Drop Compensating Turrets (BDC)

    For guys that use BDC turrets, are they accurate at any magnification or are they most accurate on the highiest power of magnification on scopes? Also has anyone used BDC turrets on Sightron SII Big sky scopes or SWFA SS scopes, if so how have they worked for you?

    Rifle Scopes Fixed or variable scope and why

    I am in the market for a new scope and after doing some research I am confused on what is best and what is being offered by the general manufacturers. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong and feel free to shed insight. It seems that fixed power scopes are clearer, more rugged, and more...
