Yes the turret is very good for a hunting scope, not so good for target work imo. The three rings can be set by Brail whereas the likes of some other turrets need reading glasses.
Really handy to adjust the turret by feel and not having to look at it while walking up to a pre ranged shooting point. 200 mtr zero, set the rings for 300,400,500 and feel away. There are only 10 or 11 clicks between the hundred metre increments so going five or six clicks from 300 to 350 and it will be only a click out at worst. You can go onto the Swaro ballistic calculator site, select Z5 and the caliber and have a play without buying a scope to see how it will work for you.
