Scope turrets with resettable zeroes for switch barrel rifles

I'm looking for a scope with turrets that are easily and repeatably adjustable for different zeros for a switch barrel rifle using different barrels and different loads.

I prefer a SFP and MOA reticle and a lighter weight scope with at least 20 power.

The Vortex L-Tec turrets would be great but the Razor scope is too heavy for my hunting needs.

What other scopes have turrets that can be easily and repeatably set to different zeroes for different barrels or for different loads?

Any turret can be easily changed...just remember the setting with each tube and remember to bring your Ellen wrench. The problem is....your zero may change somewhat every time you install the BBL. It all depends on how far you need to take the rifle apart to make the change. My Comp guns with big tubes don't need any disassembly...simply switch tubes. But they may still be off a little. My Rem Hunting guns need to have the action removed from the stock. They are not as repeatable as my BAT's.

You're not going to find a scope that has more than 1 zero-stop adjustment at once. There is no such scope that will allow you to have multiple zeros set at the same time.

I understand that no scope has multiple zeros set at the same time.

The new Vortex Razor scope has L-tec turrets that have an inner turret mechanism that has its own graduated dial that is separate from the outer dial.

This feature would allow a user to adjust the inner turret dial to match any number of pre-determined settings for different barrels or loads, then install the outer turret to show the visible dial set to zero.
It would be easy to reset the inner dial to match any pre-established setting that corresponds to any particular barrel or for different loads from a single barrel.

My rifle has an ARC Nucleus action with a Bar-Loc device that only requires the use of a 5/32 allen wrench to exchange barrels. No other disassembly is required.

I'd like to find a scope that is easy to reset to different elevation zeros without having to remember how many clicks of adjustment were previously made.

One way to accomplish this is: The turret would have a permanently attached (inner) dial with indications that could be used to turn the turret to set it for a specific barrel, load or zero distance. The turret would have a separate outer turret cover with a dial that could then be set to zero, regardless of where the inner turret dial was set. The user would see the outer turret dial at zero, even if the inner dial was set to 1 MOA UP to match a different barrel, load or even a different zero setting for a different (longer) distance.

Doesn't one of the IOR scopes have a ring around the turret that can be used for a second zero? I think it's so you can use the same zero for suppressed and non-suppressed. I could be wrong though.

I'll have to look up the IOR scopes.
I actually have 3 different barrels and multiple different loads for my Nucleus rifle.
Ideally I'd like to have an inner turret dial that could be set to match the zero for a particular barrel or load or distance, and an outer dial that would be used to show "0" after the inner dial has been set. This would allow me to use any setting on the inner dial and still use the outer dial to show "0".

Why not buy a Swarovski and instead of using their range rings system for different distances, use them to mark your two different zeros? That about the only solution I can think of besides just buying two rifles and two scopes. I've had a switched barrel rifle before and keeping track of the scope was a nightmare.

SavageHunter11... Thanks for your comments. I looked at the Swarovski turrets on Youtube and see that they can be set for different zeros for different ranges. I think it would be less than ideal to use them for zeroing different loads that also need to be adjusted for various ranges. The scaling on the turret cover does not change when a different zero is selected.

I appreciate your comment "I've had a switched barrel rifle before and keeping track of the scope was a nightmare."

I've come up with an idea that would be easy to use and allow a multitude of positions on the turret to be set as a zeros while still being able to use a turret's zero stop and dial to dial up from the zero selected.

Wonder why the scope manufacturers haven't come up with a solution for this issue. With the growing popularity of switch barrel guns and shooters using different loads, it would be a desirable feature to be able to change between a variety of pre-established zeros while maintaining all functionality and NOT loosing track of where the any of the pre-established zeros are and being able to easily return to any zero you want.

Because we are a niche in the shooting world and not worth it for them to put the time, effort, and money into. Another option is to mark the turret for different zeros (or have a turret made) and use a reticle of sorts. I prefer to turn turrets so just have to keep track of turret settings. A scope with tool less zero reset capabilities makes things a lot more convenient.
What is the idea you came up with?

Bravo4... I also prefer to turn turrets and not simply mark the elevation turret for different barrels, cartridges or loads. I came up with a system to make or modify turrets so that the turret keeps track of various pre-established zeros so the user doesn't need to remember the adjustments made. This would allow the user to simply select the zero he wants to use and still keep the all of the functionality of using the turret stop and the turret to dial elevation changes.

I've developed other technical systems and have been issued various patents on them.
I'm wondering if there would be sufficient market value to warrant patenting my turret system.
