Not sure if any1 has discussed this but if you have a very reliable tracking scope & a very reliable consistent shooting rifle, I would recommend shooters to add this option to their scope/rifle packages. I'd like to say I shoot both rifles mentioned below almost everyday so they have been seasoned or put through their paces & I have no affiliation to AZ or to Eric Sanders other than purchasing their products or services.
My truck rifle & my go to rifle is the AZ Rapid MK2 .177, .20, .22 (yes, I have all 3 very accurate barrels from AZ). I bought this rifle used just last year (original 46" oal) & now @ 38" OAL (14" barrels) she's been fully tuned by AZ. Being very reliable, very accurate, & very quiet in all 3 calibers are my main reasons she's still a keeper. She's shooting jsb 10g pellets @ 905 fps @ 18 fpe in current standing. The scope is a SWFA fixed 16X scope. Tracking is superb on this scope & clarity is the same. I requested AZ to machine (3 seperate) "dial of death" elevation turrets (for all 3 barrels & pellets) which he completes his ballistics testing on a specific pellet @ the best speed for best accuracy. AZ completed his work by hand writing his elevation turret tape. I'm very satisfied so far w/ the overall looks, ease of installation, ease of use, ease of adjustment of the elevation tape, superb accuracy, & repeatability of AZ's new turret. "Dialing in or turning your elevation knob" to shoot at targets/victims has become so much easier & fun when it comes down to shooting @ longer distances. Shooting this Rapid is incredibly fun when single loading & knowing where your pellet will exactly hit makes her mind boggling. Just dope for wind, pull the 4 oz trigger and things around you will start dropping like flies.
Next up. My truck bullpup & my go to bullpup, the .22 Mutant Shorty. I bought her brand new 2 1/2 years ago & @ 22" OAL she's never been fully tuned by anyone. Being very reliable, quiet, & accurate is my main reasons she's still a keeper. She's shooting jsb 13g, 14g, 16g (815 fps @ 23.6 fpe) pellets & H&N SS 18g very accurate. The scope is a SWFA 3-15x42 FFP scope. Tracking is superb on this scope & clarity is the same. I acquired the oversized elevation turret from Eric Sanders of Scope-werks & I also purchased his scopeknob software to easily print out the elevation turret tape. Reading & completing Eric's instructions/tips on this website/software made it much more easier to create your own custom elevation tape. It took me about 4 or 5 trial & error elevation tapes to finally get the exact ballistics yardage tape to be accurate. I'm very satisfied so far w/ the overall looks, ease of installation, ease of use, ease of adjustment of the elevation tape, accuracy, & repeatability of this new turret.

My past process of acquiring/shooting a target:
I would locate my target in yards/meters w/ my Nikon Aculon 6x20 laser rangefinder. Punch in the correct yardage/meters in Strelok Pro on my cell phone. Strelok Pro would show me exactly where to holdover/under to precisely bring down my target. I've been using Strelok Pro for about 2 years now w/ great accuracy until recently I started dialing my elevation turret.
My present process of acquiring/shooting a target:
Again, I would locate my target in yards/meters w/ my Nikon Aculon 6x20 laser rangefinder. Once the correct yardage has been found, I would just dial my elevation turret to the correct yards/meters, aim using only the crosshairs, dope for wind & pull the trigger. After the shot, I would just dial my elevation turret back to my original "zero". Again, quick, easy, simple, fun & very accurate.
Conclusion:
If you have time to tinker, I would recommend learning/testing this process if you decide to go w/ Eric & his scopeworks turret & software. On the other hand, AZ, "the master of disaster" can complete this process for you w/ a repeatable, consistent nice scope & a very accurate rifle/ pellet combo for a nominal fee he charges. Either way, you can enjoy this very neat feature while enjoying your favorite past time, "shooting your favorite air rifle."
I'm setting up my Eric Sanders elevation & yardage turrets for my RAW .25 HM1000X rifle.
Hope all is well for you guys...
We are ALL truely blessed to have an air rifle...
