I agree, I was kind of surprised to see that they did that. </div></div>
The reasoning behind the .5 moa elevation turret is because we designed this scope with our custom turrets in mind. The .5 moa turret allows you to get enough distance in one rotation(24moa) for most long range hunting cartridges for most situations.
Another thing to consider is that even know they are .5moa you are never more than .25moa off your target which is more than close enough for 99% of game.
Maybe to put it even more into perspective- The US Army issued M24 sniper scopes have 1 moa elevation adjustments.

BTW, I REALLY like the re-designed BDC reticle with the wind hash marks now in 2MOA increments instead of the 3.6MOA & 7.4MOA increments. I'd dearly love to see you change the elevation marks to 2MOA increments to mimic the PST EBR-01 MOA reticle. Of course that might cut slightly into your PST sales as it would have some of the same functional characteristics, but at a lower price point. I know if you switched the reticle I'd be buying several for my hunting and target rifles that I can't afford/justify topping with PST's. That EBR-01 reticle just works so well, I loath shooting any other reticle where a hold off/over is required.
