shuter Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Can't find this info on Burris's website or with a search on this site. Does anyone know definitively? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I have 4 MTACs and they all return to zero. I don't use them that way, so I can not tell you if that will last long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuter Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 Mark, to be sure we're on the same page, do the turrets have screws you loosen, or just lift up, reset to zero and push down? What method (if any) do they use to reset to zero after zeroing the center dot at 100 yards, for instance? Thanks I have 4 MTACs and they all return to zero. I don't use them that way, so I can not tell you if that will last long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gng4life Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I dont have one but when I was looking at them one time thinking of buying one, I noticed they didn't have that feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highxj Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 (edited) Unfortunately they are not resettable.. Edited November 16, 2012 by highxj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss+P Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 i had an MTAC 1x4 and i think i remember the instructions saying that they are and you have to use a thin screw driver on the inner turret (for lack of a better term) and then you set the outer turret. I was unable to accoplish this, but i think that is what the instructions said. please do not try unless you have the instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I never understand why people post stuff on here when they don't know. shuter, no, were not on the same page, but now we are. YES, they are resettable to zero! AND yes, if you shoot the box, they return to zero too (what I originally answered). The 1-4 and 1.5-6 are hunter knobs and they can be removed by prying upwards in between the base and the actual knob. Reinstall in your preferred position. I don't use a screwdriver, I use two thin pieces of plastic, one on each side. It is pretty simple. The 3.5-10, 4.5-14 and 6.5-20 have Target knobs. These have an allen screw in the side of the cap. Loosen, twist to preferred position, tighten. Also, you can send a Burris scope with hunter knobs in to Burris and they will put target knob(s) on your scope. The cost is very reasonable. A few guys have put a target knob only on the elevation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the ability to have target turrets installed is nice! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsydlooknin75 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 (edited) I haven't moved mine......It's a capped turret, I put a dot on the turret and on the scope and put the cap back on......

MarkCO Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Ridiculous, read my last post again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gng4life Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I did and still don't see it. I'm just going by what the factory says about their product... My Swaro is resettable (by simply pulling up, turn, push down) and I use that feature often. I am sure this is what the OP is referring to.

cvincent Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I'm sitting there for like 10 min trying pop the caps off to reset my 1-4x. When in fact, the numbered ring moves independently of the adjustment knob. Just stick something in the small slot and rotate the numbered ring only, back to zero. For future searchers...

This^ I have one too, I just use the little tab on a AR front sight tool. It fits in the slot (I'm sure it was designed that way) and you rotate the numbered ring independent of the turret.

xtremekramer Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Maybe this is a dumb question, but with the retical on the mtac, why would you want to rezero the turrets? Isn't the point of the retical for bullet drop at distances? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can then see of somehow it gets turned, when I go to a major and sight in, if they have a range, I can adjust as needed amd see how much. I have yet to change me zero with the same ammo. Nothing has shifted but i would rather just set everything to zero when I know it is my zero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
