Those that have “hunting women” in their lives are blessed!

That’s the reason we went with “zero-stop” (I believe it’s called that)dials with our Leupold CDS scope. We originally went with the other option, the turret could be turned more than one revolution.....which could cause big problems! The “zero stop” limits our range to around 850...
caliber: .375 H&H
bullet: Sierra 300 grain BTSP
Changed to a Hornady 270 grain SP, and a few years later to a Barnes 270 X, then to a Barnes 270 TSX, then a Barnes 250 TTSX ( have not gone to the Barnes 270 LRX yet)
