Cutsom Turret Scope questions

[Valley1320]

So I'm wanting/needing to get a custom turret rifle scope for my rifle here soon before my wife's oryx and deer hunts this fall. The problem is to be honest my budget is perty tight right now. I've been doing alot of looking and stumbled across the zero tech vengeance rifle scopes. Has anyone used them or know what the glass quality is like or compares to? With my discount on guidefitter I can get what I really want for $530, problem is it's out of stock right now and knowing guidefitter who knows when it will be back in stock.

I am not stuck on a certain brand

And am I stupid to consider 40mm? I would prefer 44mm

Just order turret from Kenton industries for scope she already has or are you bent on new scope also

What's your budget?

I'm so dumb I didn't realize the kenton will make a custom turret for literally any scope

If that's the case I do not need to buy a new scope

Right now bout 500. If I wait a couple months it can be more but that's pushing things to be waiting. But @ccc23454 may have fixed my dumbness and save me a bunch of money

Well it's the old style viper with small turret so may be up the creek still

If you’re looking for a kick ass dialing scope, SWFA. They won’t break the bank, either.

Why not just take a paint pen and put a mark on the turret you currently have for each “dial-to” for 200, 300, 400 yards…

Can be had in Amazon for a whole $5.99. It’s still custom.

I use white electrical tape and permanent marker.

$300 SWFA will do what you need

There are even some companies making tape that you can wrap around existing turrets if your scope has tall enough turrets.


I asked to buy an extra set of caps for an S-TAC. Sightron sent them free of charge. Now I intend to drill and tap them for a pair of set screws to use as a zero stop, then I spray paint the dial black, and use different colored paint pens to paint the mark that corresponds to each range.

First I have to get my S-TAC back from a friend to make sure there is a good flat surface for the screws to interface with, and get the proper location to put them at. There’s a chance my zero stop idea wont work. There are other ways to make a zero stop-stop.

I’ve got one on my 6.5 and it’s amazing

A leupold with the cds turret is a decent scope. The vx freedom comes In a cds and that's within your budget.

turret tags from backfire worked great for us.

Turret Tags

Turret Tags by Backfire are quick-adjust yardage stickers for any scope. Simply apply the stickers to your scope to mark the correct yardage for any shot, then use the clear strip to lock the tags onto your scope so they don’t get bumped off during a hunt. The stickers are waterproof and...

Kenton's awesome.

Yes. They will make custom turrets for almost any scope, except counterfeit ones.

Personally I never use a “custom turret”, I just go with moa turrets and shoot my true ballistic data. Too many variables to be able to have a 100% perfect turret for every application unless you hunt in the same temperature and elevation at all times, the custom turret would be close but not perfect. I always suggest a ballistic calculating rangefinder that way it accounts for any and all environmental differences on the fly.
