Rifle Scopes EREK turret--any point on a fixed 10x scope?

[stiletto raggio]

I wanted to create a separate thread to ask this question, because I see it as distinct, but here is the background. I am planning to purchase several high-end scopes, most likely USOs, and want to buy a less expensive USO to test the features (I think) I would like. This includes the EREK 1/10 mil elevation turret. The question is, does the EREK turret provide a significant advantage over the M40-style turret when you are dealing with a fixed 10 power scope? A 10x with a 30mm tube should have plenty of adjustment for a .308. My understanding is that a primary advantage of the EREK is increased MOA or mils of adjustment. Is this right or is is just adjustments per turn?

If the EREK will provide very limited advantages with a relatively low-powered scope, I think I will spare myself the $175.

I don't understand why you think it would have any less advantage just because it's a fixed 10X scope. If you are going to be dialing the scope (which if your not your looking at the wrong kind of optics) you will always have an advantage with a turret that's easier to grab and has more elevation per revolution.

Yes.

If you're going to be dialing your elevation then get it, you won't be sorry.

The EREK is just for making dialing the scope easier, much easier. It only takes one turn to get most any .308 to a 1000. It has nothing to do with the amount of available adjustment in the scope.

I had a ST-10 with the EREK turret, less than one revolution got me to 1kyds. It was a nice option.
