[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1118625, member: 4191"] I'll provide a link to the HighPowerOptics (HPO) website (below). Bruce (owner) is a sponsor of this Forum. The HPO Micrometer Style aftermarket turrets replace the factory Swaro turret knobs, which are about useless for dialing dope. I've tested the elevation turret on my Z5 two separate times and it is both accurate and repeatable. The HPO aftermarket turret caps don't alter the internal accuracy or calibration of the turrets. The factory turret caps (covers) still enclose the HPO turret knobs. The HPO turret knobs do allow me to dial and read the click adjustment on the knobs. The turret clicks aren't as positive as a NF and some other heavyweight tactical scopes. The HPO turret knobs are the same basic size and diameter as the factory turret knobs, which is to say small compared to NF, and there are no zero stop options. Some of the compromises of the Swaro Z5... But the HPO turrets are completely functional for dialing and reading dope on the turret knob for my LRH use. A vast improvement over the factory knobs for dialers. And this scope allows me to lose 1 lb of weight compared to a NF, and 1/2 lb of weight compared to my Sightron SIIIs. This maintains a nice balance on a lighter weight backpacking rifle, reducing the top-heaviness from the 2lb and 2lb+ scopes. My rifle isn't a super lightweight rifle. Weighs ~9 - 9.1 lbs with the Z5 scope mounted on the receiver. So ~8 lbs bare naked.
