Another option if these kinda custom turrets appeal to you and you already have a nice scope another option is Kenton Industries. They'll make custom load turrets for a lot of current production scopes, IF i recall correctly they start at $85 and go up to $160 and thats a much cheaper option.

These custom load turrets are much better than majority of bdc scopes as they're load specific, but gravity is the easiest part of a shooting solution and after that is where things get a lil wonky. At best you can only get these turrets calibrated to average shooting conditions, but they will at least be close. Under 600 yards the avg conditions are generally good enough to not hurt accuracy but once you get over that they will most assuredly create a miss if theres a noticeable difference in the calibrated temp/humidity versus the exact shooting conditions.
Im far from an expert but there is a stiff learning curve in the long range game, so i figured i would share some of the lessons learned,
