For what it's worth, think about avoiding the open/uncovered turrets. I've seen and taken a number of guys who've ignored this and it's ended up costing them $$$.
1 - The turrets get bumped moved while being carried and in the heat of the moment, the user forgets to make sure they are set correctly before taking a shot.
2 - They miss an opportunity because instead of keeping eyes on the target and IN the scope, their eyes are UP looking/playing with the twisties and by the time their eyes are back IN the scope the game is gone.
3 - After the excitement of a successful or the discouragement of an unsuccessful shot, the user forgets to set them back to "zero".
4 - Forgetting to reset to zero, can then further complicate the first shot on the next animal or trying to put that quick shot on a fleeting wounded one.
5 - Ask your PH what he expects your average shooting distances will be. If he says between 100-175m, just zero your scope/load for 150m and just hold an inch or two high or low and you'll be good to 250m.
I've taken at least a dozen guys with the twisty scopes and even they ended up admitting they wished they taken something with conventional covered turrets.
I just noticed you've already got the scope in hand while I was typing this. I honestly hope it works out for you.
