A change in the way scopes are made....

[Mike Moss]

The late fad of large target turrets on hunting scopes is follows the trend to cammo, tactical and other make believe fashions.

Not to say that some don't really use them but I doubt many do.

I have had scopes with real turrets since the early 50's. We use them for target shooting.

Now I even have a 'tactical' scope with turrets. The turrets are just in the way.

However to each his own.
