I am looking into a "precision" rifle, and i was just wondering about scopes.
Do scopes have this feature: Where you can zero it, then then somehow "reset' the windage and elevation knobs so they are zero, but your rifle is still zerod, so that after you go to adjust for range and winage you can just return to zero, and you dont need to remember your standard zero settings? What would this be called? |

What would this be called? I think almost all "tactical" turrets allow for that. Zero the scope, remove the caps, set them back on so they are lined up with the "zero" hash mark. I think thats what you want, right? |

I've only had experience with older Leupold silhouette scope and Weaver T models, both of these have small allen screws that allow you to zero your turrets after your sighted in at whatever distance. I would find it hard to believe that more modern scopes wouldn't have this feature to.
I don't know what you would call it.....We always called it zeroing out your turrets lol |

Quoted: I think they are called zero stop turrets. No Zero stop is something totally different. Zero stop allows the user to zero the optic and then adjust a stop in the adjuster so that it will go no lower than the zero point. From Nightforce With our ZeroStop turrets, after sighting in your rifle, you set the ZeroStop mechanism to any one of the 400 elevation clicks (1/4 MOA or 1/10 Mil) on a Nightforce scope. Then make all the elevation adjustments you wish…you can return the turret to absolute zero quickly and positively just by feel. There is no need for visual reference, charts, or counting clicks. You can always find your zero point, even in total darkness. |
