Custom Turrets for TRACT Rifle Scopes

Custom Turrets for TRACT Rifle Scopes
Discover the essential details about custom turrets for TRACT rifle scopes, including availability, purchasing options, and the critical factors to ensure accuracy.

What Are Custom Turrets?
Custom turrets are a game-changing feature for your TRACT rifle scope, allowing you to tailor your adjustments based on specific ballistics data for your firearm and ammunition. They eliminate the guesswork, providing precise elevation corrections for long-distance shots.

Why Custom Turrets Matter
Custom turrets enhance accuracy and confidence in the field by adapting to your unique setup. With the correct data, they enable effortless adjustments, even in challenging conditions.

Are Custom Turrets Available for All TRACT Rifle Scopes?
Yes! Custom turrets are available for every TRACT rifle scope. However, there are some nuances when purchasing:
Website Availability: Most custom turrets can be purchased directly through the website, except for the 30mm and 34mm scopes.
Alternative Ordering Method: If you need turrets for these scopes, simply email us to receive an order form. Once filled out and returned, we'll process your order.


The Importance of Accurate Data
Garbage In, Garbage Out
Creating a custom turret is similar to working with software—if the input data is inaccurate, the output (your custom turret) will be unreliable.

Key Data Points You Need
1. Muzzle Velocity: Avoid using the velocity listed on your ammunition box. Manufacturers often test their loads with 24-inch barrels that may not match your rifle's performance.
2. Barrel Length: Barrel length impacts velocity significantly. For example, even with a 26-inch barrel, our tests revealed lower-than-expected velocities, reinforcing the need for chronographing your loads.
3. Sight Height: Accurately measure the height of your scope above the bore to ensure proper adjustments.
4. Ballistic Coefficient (BC): Ensure your bullet’s BC matches the manufacturer's specifications for consistency.
5. Environmental Conditions: Temperature, altitude, and humidity can influence bullet trajectory.

Chronograph Your Loads
A chronograph provides the most accurate velocity readings for your specific rifle and ammunition. Without this step, your turret might not perform as expected in the field.

Our Test Findings: Real-World Insights
To illustrate the importance of accurate data, we tested a 26-inch barrel .308 Winchester rifle with a brand of ammunition. Surprisingly, the velocity measured 105 feet per second slower than the manufacturer’s published velocity—even with a longer barrel. This discrepancy highlights why relying on manufacturer data alone isn’t enough.

Benefits of Custom Turrets
Precision in the Field: Achieve pinpoint accuracy by matching turret adjustments to your unique setup.
Confidence on Every Shot: Eliminate the need for guessing holdovers or relying on unreliable drop charts.
Tailored Performance: Experience a seamless shooting experience, whether you're hunting big game or competing in long-range shooting.

Tips for Ensuring a Perfect Custom Turret

1. Use a Chronograph: Measure your load’s actual velocity with your rifle to avoid relying on box labels.
2. Measure Sight Height: Use precise tools to determine the scope’s height above the bore.
3. Verify Bullet Specs: Confirm the ballistic coefficient and other details for your specific ammunition.
4. Factor in Environmental Variables: Adjust your inputs for altitude, temperature, and other conditions typical to your shooting locations.
5. Triple-Check Your Data: Ensure all information is correct before submitting your order form.


FAQs About Custom Turrets for TRACT Rifle Scopes

1. What makes custom turrets more accurate than standard adjustments?
Custom turrets match your rifle’s ballistics exactly, ensuring precise elevation adjustments tailored to your specific ammunition and conditions.

2. Why is a chronograph necessary for custom turrets?
A chronograph provides the true velocity of your ammunition from your rifle, which is often different from the velocity listed on the ammunition box.

3. Can I order a custom turret for any TRACT rifle scope?
Yes, custom turrets are available for all TRACT scopes. For 30mm and 34mm models, you'll need to contact us directly to place an order.
