What do you mean by custom? They will send you a "Blank" elevation turret so that you can have it laser engraved with your own load date's dope.

I think it is easier to adjust for climate and altitude if you have a BDC setup up for a particular round!

Re: Question on nightforce scope
A BDC is pointless for distances of 500 yards or less - just memorize your dope, which is, in 100 yard increments, only 4 numbers. Surely everyone can memorize 4 numbers.
Beyond that range, you'll have to pay attention to atmospheric conditions, and if they're different from what the BDC was calculated for, you're going to have to make an adjustment anyway. The BDC does not make that adjustment easier.
I think a BDC is a waste of money. OTOH, the U.S. economy is in a recession. I encourage everyone to waste their money so the economy will recover, and supporting the shooting industry is a fine way to do that.
I'd rather spend my money on ammo or training, though. And will.

Re: Question on nightforce scope
Cheaper and more precise as you can go to 25 yard increments is to just print it out from JBM, shrink it down on a copier and tape it to the side of the rifle. You can have your wind and movers on there too.
