Who makes a decent scope that has caps for the turrets?
I'd like to set something up with a 250 yard zero. I'd only be spinning turrets if way out there and would have the time to take the caps off.
I probably hit more elk with a pickup than you have with a rifle. I have yet to see anyone claim Leupold has never had to fix an optic. I know I have sent a few back. 2 MK 6s, a VX-6, and 3 VX-111s.

I actually have a 4.5-14 buckmaster. Are the adjustments decent? I automatically assumed it wouldn't be repeatable given the price point, but I'm open to hearing about others' experiences.
I'm thinking somewhere along the lines of $500-$600 max for this little project.

I really like the pop up to turn and push down to lock turrets on the Nitrex TR2 / Weaver Superslams.

I believe the new hd series of conquests are available with turrets and caps.

I believe the new hd series of conquests are available with turrets and caps. They have an excellent "pop up and turn, then push down to lock" turret like the scopes WYcoyote mentioned.

Regarding that Buckmaster:
I had one for a year. It was repeatable and held zero on a light 7 mag., but I only had it for a year and only hunted if a few days so can't comment on long term durability. However, it's adjustments were off.
IIRC for every 6 MOA I had to add about a minute. Same rifle and load with a Leupold I'd use 22 minutes to shoot a thousand yards. With the Buckmaster I'd be at 26 minutes. Not a big deal because I just look at the tape on the gun anyway.
I ended up putting a Leupold Mark AR 4-12 on that rifle. That scope has been tracking great for me and it is 4 oz. lighter, which is why I switched. I did send in to Leupold for a plain turret instead of the one with the 223 marks.
You may want to try your Buckmaster out before buying another scope, unless you just want one!

I have three Buckmasters. No problem with repeatability. They are my favorite scope in their price line. My two Vortex have caps also.
I think, therefore I am, conservative.
