Swarovski Ballistic turret system
Every manufacture has one or multiple answers for easy various distance shooting. Every manufacture offers mildot reticles, but that isn’t easy for some folks. For Nikon, it’s the BDC reticle. Leupold has the Boone and Crockett reticle. Zeiss has the Rapid Z system. Swarovski has the BR reticle, but they also have something new that is very interesting. This innovation is called the Ballistic turret system, and it allows for easier distance shooting. This system allows the shooter to set up to five zeros, without using a very busy reticle. Picture this, you zero your rifle at 100 yards, you go to the ballistic calculator at http://www.bt.swarovskioptik.com/ and put in your bullet information; the manufacture, the bullet type, the model of scope, the altitude your hunting at, the site your scope sits above your bore, and your zero range. The calculator then tells you how to set the knobs on your elevation turret and you’re ready to make distances shots at the turn of a knob. You can use more classic reticles and not worry about anything but the shot itself. It’s an easy system for anyone to use. You can easily switch ammunition, your hunting area, and zero once and have you scope set for various ranges. This is useful if you hunt in different areas or if you run out of the ammunition you use. This system makes everything easy for the shooter; from zeroing to actually shooting the target, it’s as easy as turning a knob. The Ballistic turret system is available on the Swarovski Z5, Swarovski Z6, and Swarovski Z6I rifle scopes. Be careful if you try this system, nothing else really compares and you will probably have to get one. That’s the word from sportoptics.com
