I currently own a few vortex scopes and an older signature series Burris scope. I haven't had any problems with either. They are all very clear and accurate. I am however looking for a scope that is easily able to set a zero stop by simply pulling up on the turret twisting it back to zero and pushing it down. I know I have see. This style before, but not sure who makes it. My vortex scopes require shims. My old man has a night force and his uses shims too.

Hopefully I explained what I am looking for. This will be mounted on a 30 caliber.

Thanks!

Oh , also I think these are cool.

I don't have that scope though.

That would work fine too for my purposes. Just wanting an easy visual for 100-600 yards.

I know vortex makes custom turrets if you put your load data in. Anyone have one if these and care to share your experience ?

You are confusing zero STOP and Setting zero.
Zero STOP allows to dial up for long range, then return to where you were quickly. That's what the shims are for.

Being able to simply lift the turret cap and rotate to set zero is a different thing.

I have two Vortex scopes, one Viper and one Viper PST FFP.
The PST has zero STOP feature by use of the shims, but 3 tiny allen screws must be loosened to rotate the knob to SET zero after sighting in.
The Viper 6.5-20x50PA has those quick zero knobs you asked about, but does not have zero STOP.

Yup. That's exactly what I meant. Zero setting. Thanks for the scope info! I knew I had a vortex at one time that allowed me that feature.
