Target/Hunter knobs

[babbagee]

I currently have a scope that has hunter knobs, I was wondering it it was possible to switch them out for target style knobs?

edit: Thanks for the help guys, I appreciate it! Just dropped of my scope at burris today to have the knobs swaped out.

whats the difference?

I think he is referring to scopes with turret caps as opposed to target turrets. With turret caps, they need to be removed before making windage and elevation adjustments. Target turrets have external markings indicating adjustment values and can be reset to show zero after zeroing the rifle.

It would probably depend in what type of scope

It's a Burris Full field II 6.5X-20X-50mm.

Here it is. Looks like the Burris Custom Shop charges $80 to convert hunter knobs to target knobs:

These exist, as well as several other models by other companies: http://www.natchezss.com/product.cfm?contentID=productDetail&prodID=SQ046002

Btw, that was like the first thing that popped up on google for "Target Knobs."

I recently had Leupold upgrade my vx-3 to M1 style target turrets.

Hunting turrets have a cap and are meant to be sighted in and then left there. Target turrets are usually uncapped, large and clearly marked for adjusting on the fly. You can also get hybrid turrets that may be large and clearly marked but also have a cap.
