A buddy and I are looking into a Vortex 6.5-20 for our .308 builds, we'll probably both just get the same thing.
My question is about the turrets on the scope. Do the caps just screw off to reveal the turrets? And i see on the site is says: Allow quick re-indexing of the turret housing to zero after sighting in the riflescope—re-index with fingers alone (no tool needed). How does this work without having to worry about screwing up your housing alignment after zeroing. I've never had a scope that you had to uncover the turrets to make your adjustments, just looking for some info before possibly purchasing. I've never owned, used, or heck even seen a vortex product, but i read great things about your products, and to be honest, i love the price! |

Yes, the 6.5-20 Viper models use capped turrets, so you have to unscrew the caps to reveal the knobs. The zero reset feature work by pulling the knob upward. As you pull up on the knob you will feel spring pressure as the knob releases from the adjustment screw. This allows you to turn the knob back to zero without changing the POA of the reticle. Once you have the knob back at zero you release the knob and it pops back down to reengage the adjustment screw. Now, when you dial you always dial from zero on the knob, rather than a random position that you ended up at when you sighted in the scope. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks! -Sam |
