In each episode, we talk about a different topic and try to answer the most common questions we receive about it. Today we are going to talk about turret types in riflescopes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main categories are: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/riflescopes\/shopby\/turret_type-capped.html\">Capped\/Hunting turrets<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/riflescopes\/shopby\/turret_type-capped_target.html\">Target turrets<\/a> which are also capped but much higher, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/riflescopes\/shopby\/turret_type-bdc.html\">BDC turrets<\/a> (Bullet Drop Compensation turret) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/riflescopes\/shopby\/turret_type-tactical.html\">Tactical turrets<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/riflescopes\/shopby\/turret_type-capped.html\">Capped\/Hunting turrets<\/a><\/strong> are really low profile. They are covered with caps so that they are protected against the elements. They are usually finger adjustable, which is meant to be done once a year when the rifle is being zeroed. They are usually found on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/riflescopes\/hunting-rifle-scopes.html\">scopes<\/a> that are meant for hunting. The click values are usually \u00bc MOA which means 1 cm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/riflescopes\/shopby\/turret_type-capped_target.html\">Target turrets<\/a> are similarly capped, but they are much higher and easier to manipulate. These turrets are meant to be turned around a lot. They&#8217;re on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/riflescopes\/target-rifle-scopes.html\">scopes<\/a> meant for sports shooting, which means extremely high magnification, really fine clicks, very simple reticles and are made to be easily adjustable. The click values are usually 1\/8 MOA which means 3.5 mm on 100 m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/riflescopes\/shopby\/turret_type-bdc.html\">BDC turrets<\/a><\/strong> are similar to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/riflescopes\/shopby\/turret_type-tactical.html\">tactical turrets<\/a> because they have no caps and you can manipulate them immediately. The numbers that are on the turrets tell you at which distance you are able to shoot. The clicks are not engraved on the turret but the numbers for the distances are, so these turrets always need to be paired together with the ballistic curve. Usually, the positions of the numbers are adjustable, but with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/riflescopes\/shopby\/manufacturer-zeiss.html\">Zeiss scopes<\/a>, you get 9 really nice rings, from which you chose the right one for your caliber. These are getting more and more popular with long range hunters on scopes with high magnification, because of their ease of use. Most of them offer a lock function and feature <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wBtPeVZ5UL4\">zero stop<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/riflescopes\/shopby\/turret_type-tactical.html\"><strong>Tactical turrets<\/strong><\/a> are similar to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/riflescopes\/shopby\/turret_type-bdc.html\">BDC turrets<\/a>, but they normally have engraved numbers for clicks. One means either one MOA or 1 cm per 100 m. With this type of turrets you need to know a little bit more about ballistics, so they are usually found on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/riflescopes\/tactical-rifle-scopes.html\">tactical scopes<\/a>, where the users are more professional and invest a lot of time into shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can find different turret types in different categories of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/riflescopes.html\"> riflescopes<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/riflescopes\/hunting-rifle-scopes.html\">Hunting scopes<\/a> usually have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/riflescopes\/shopby\/turret_type-capped.html\">small hunting capped turrets<\/a> or a small <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/riflescopes\/shopby\/turret_type-bdc.html\">BDC turret<\/a>. Some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/riflescopes\/target-rifle-scopes.html\">target scopes<\/a> also feature <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/riflescopes\/shopby\/turret_type-tactical.html\">tactical turrets<\/a>. And you can also find <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/riflescopes\/shopby\/turret_type-bdc.html\">BDC turrets<\/a> on<a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/riflescopes\/tactical-rifle-scopes.html\"> tactical scopes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We would like to thank you for your time.

If you found this video useful, please subscribe to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCmsFsYWK5hvf1vUZMoWOqPg?view_as=subscriber\">channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Explanation of the term on our website:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Turrets are easily said rotatable buttons on rifle scopes which you can spin it left or right to move the reticle in the scope. This way you achieve a match of point of impact and scope reticle. This is called zeroing. The market offers different rifle scopes for different purposes and they have also different types of turrets. Determination, how will turrets look like depends on rifle scopes purpose, price, manufacturer and country of origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Every single movement made with the turret produces a \u00bbclick\u00ab sound. Usually, 1 click on European rifle scopes moves the hit on target for 1 cm at 100 m range (0.1 MRAD \/ MIL). On American, Japanese and Chinese scopes 1 click moves the hit on the target for \u00bc MOA (minute of angle) which is 7 mm at 100 m range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">There are <strong>4 different types of turrets<\/strong> on the market<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Target turrets<\/strong>\u00a0are known as the most precise type. They are the best choice for the precise shooters, due to very small and precise adjustments. Usually they are available in 1\/4 or 1\/8 MOA (1 MOA = 0.29 MRAD = 2,9 cm \/ 100 m) or in 0,05 Mrad (1Mrad =10cm\/ 100m). They are protected with caps and usually, they are very high for easier manipulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u00a0<\/em>BDC stands for\u00a0<strong><a title=\"Scopes with BDC turrets\" href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/riflescopes\/shopby\/turret_type-bdc.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bullet Drop Compensation<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0<strong>BDC turrets<\/strong>\u00a0offer the\u00a0<strong>easiest way<\/strong>\u00a0to dial a number of clicks to compensate for bullet drop when shooting at longer distances. These turrets are usually found on\u00a0<strong>hunting<\/strong>\u00a0scopes for\u00a0<strong>long-range<\/strong>\u00a0hunting. These turrets are very similar to Tactical turrets; however, the main difference is they don\u2019t have numbers for clicks engraved on them, but only\u00a0<strong>numbers<\/strong>\u00a0for the\u00a0<strong>corresponding distances<\/strong>. On such turrets, 1 stands for 100m, 2 for 200m, 3 for 300m, and similar.\u00a0<strong>Color dots<\/strong>, instead of numbers, are also very common; however, in such cases, the hunter must memorize which color corresponds to a given distance to the target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">BDC turret can only match\u00a0<strong>one ballistic trajectory<\/strong>, and BDC turrets are always suitable for use with\u00a0<strong>only one ammunition.<\/strong>\u00a0When a shooter changes the ammunition in his rifle, the BDC turret must be changed to correspond to a new ballistic curve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">The best modern BDC turrets also have an additional function of a\u00a0<strong>Zero Stop<\/strong>\u00a0(the turret doesn\u2019t rotate under the zeroing distance of the rifle) and\u00a0<strong><a title=\"Scopes with VDC (lockable) turrets\" href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/riflescopes\/shopby\/turret_type-bdc_lockable.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">locking mechanism<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Scopes meant for tactical applications have\u00a0<a title=\"Scopes with tactical turrets\" href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/riflescopes\/shopby\/turret_type-tactical.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">uncovered tactical turrets<\/a>\u00a0that offer\u00a0easy control\u00a0over reticle elevation and windage. Click values on such turrets are\u00a0visible\u00a0and a number of clicks for bullet drop compensation can be dialed fast and easy. Such turrets are especially useful in\u00a0tactical situations\u00a0where, usually, every target is at a different distance and not more than a couple of shots are shot at each target. Such situations demand\u00a0continuously changing\u00a0of reticle position in the scope elevation and windage range. Turrets covered with caps are unpractical in such situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Since the main purpose of tactical turrets is easy and often changing of elevation and windage position of the reticle, such turrets usually have\u00a0numbers of clicks\u00a0(or elevation in MOA or MRAD) clearly\u00a0written\u00a0on them.\u00a0Resetting the turret to 0\u00a0when the rifle is zeroed is also a standard feature on such turrets. Tactical turrets are also distinguished from other types of rifle scope turrets, as the number of turns plays an important role in their usability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tactical turrets<\/strong>\u00a0on basic scopes, usually, have a\u00a0high number of turns\u00a0from one extreme of the elevation\/windage range to another. Such turrets are called\u00a0multi-turn\u00a0turrets. However, tactical turrets on more advanced tactical scopes have a\u00a0limited number of turns. The most common are single turn \u2013\u00a0ST\u00a0and double turn \u2013\u00a0DT\u00a0turrets. Double turn type turrets also have an\u00a0indicator, which clearly shows in which turn the turret is located. Such advanced tactical turrets are especially useful when there is no room for error when dialing a number of clicks for proper elevation adjustment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Advanced ST and DT tactical turrets often have a\u00a0Zero Stop\u00a0\u2013 ZS functionality, so when a user wants to go back to turret position at which rifle is zeroed, the turret rotation is stopped at that setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Capped turrets<\/strong>\u00a0are the most usual turret type on hunting scopes, where the turret covers are\u00a0<strong>removed only on rare occasions<\/strong>\u00a0when the scope is zeroed. Due to the caps, the turrets are\u00a0<strong>well-protected<\/strong>\u00a0against water, dust, and unintentional damage. On most of the\u00a0<strong><a title=\"Scopes with capped turrets\" href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/riflescopes\/shopby\/turret_type-capped.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hunting scopes<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and on some wide-angle tactical scopes, the turrets under the caps have\u00a0<strong>a low height<\/strong>. On\u00a0<a title=\"Scopes with capped (target) turrets\" href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/riflescopes\/shopby\/turret_type-capped_target.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>target scopes<\/strong><\/a>, this is different, since most turrets are\u00a0<strong>high<\/strong>\u00a0and easy to dial. In modern rifle scopes, turrets caps also hold the\u00a0<strong>spare battery<\/strong>\u00a0for the illumination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Turrets on\u00a0<strong><a title=\"Scopes with capped (target) turrets\" href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/riflescopes\/shopby\/turret_type-capped_target.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">target scopes<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0are also covered with caps; however, such scopes have much\u00a0<strong>higher turrets<\/strong>\u00a0than hunting scopes, which also have turrets covered with caps. The reason for such difference is that turrets on target\/ sports scopes are\u00a0<strong>dialed often<\/strong>\u00a0when shooters shoot on different distances. However, during transportation or when shooting in the rain, high target turrets still get\u00a0<strong>protected<\/strong>\u00a0with caps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.podbean.com\/media\/player\/j8nd8-946212-pb?from=share&amp;skin=1&amp;share=1&amp;fonts=Helvetica&amp;download=0&amp;skin=1&amp;btn-skin=107\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" data-name=\"pb-iframe-player\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Products mentioned:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Capped\/Hunting turrets: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/riflescopes\/shopby\/turret_type-capped.html\">https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/riflescopes\/shopby\/turret_type-capped.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Target turrets: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/riflescopes\/shopby\/turret_type-capped_target.html\">https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/riflescopes\/shopby\/turret_type-capped_target.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BDC locking turrets: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/riflescopes\/shopby\/turret_type-bdc_lockable.html\">https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/riflescopes\/shopby\/turret_type-bdc_lockable.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tactical Turrets: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/riflescopes\/shopby\/turret_type-tactical.html\">https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/riflescopes\/shopby\/turret_type-tactical.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to Optics Trade debates.
