Is there a single tool I can buy that would have the Allen keys to fit Leupold, Nightforce and Kahles scopes. I would like to adjust Zero settings on turrets on scopes at the range and don't want to risk packing those teenie tiny wrenches that come with the scopes. Thanks for suggestions.
Rifle Scopes Range tool for scopes, suggestions??

The Bondhus Gorilla Grip is what you are looking for. It has them all:
Bondhus 9pc Hex Fold Up Tool

Add the Borka and you have a versatile torque wrench with all the bits you will need for lots of purposes including mounting all of those scopes in a variety of mounts. I keep a quarter, nickel, dime, and penny in the Borka holder and those come in handy as well.

For about the size of a knife add a Leatherman Multi tool, to the Borka kit and the Bondus, and you have all the tools you need in your range bag
Leatherman pick one I like the MUT http://www.theemsstore.com/store/pro...vALxoCF-zw_wcB
With these three I have never needed anything else.

I am not aware of a single tool that will handle them all. I carry a small zipper pouch with all the basics to handle everything on my scopes and also for my rifles' basic needs. It's about 3"x5" and fits in a small spot in my pack.
This is the set that I have used for a few years it has every bit you will need at the range.http://www.btibrands.com/product/space-saver-screwdriver-set/
I just go to the travel section in Walmart or Target and pick up a first aid kit or soap holder. This stores all the the odds and ends I would need at the range; Allen keys that come with the scope, loctite, batteries, adapters, lens cleaner, etc. Best part is it's ~$1.00. I also have a separate one with patches, jig, crossovers, mini clp and chamber brush
I made something along those lines from some 3/8" aluminum rod and an allen wrench. I can slip the turrets on most common scopes like Leupold, NF, SWFA, Burris, etc... and the "screwdriver" end is used for zeroing the irons on my AR and adjusting coin slot turrets. The grommets make the outer diameter about the same as a C123A battery so it doesn't rattle around the battery compartment of a stock or pistol grip.

I just use a pill bottle for that kind of stuff. At my age, I'm taking all sorts of pills so I always have plenty. You can probably get one for free at your local drug store. Keep a bottle in each gun case and you can add all sorts of other stuff in there.
the vortex L-tec adjuster is really nice... it's a cap opener, screwdriver and hex key all in one. Not sure that it helps you but maybe it's the same size driver.
I carry three tools and have never not been able to fix a problem at the range.
1. Borka expanded field kit
2. Multitasker tool
3. Dewalt hex key fold up tool (nice long hex keys)
There are a couple of specialized hex keys that came with my scopes that I carry as well.

I have the Borka torque wrench that they make for the AI AT and it's phenomenal. I would recommend any of their products.
I carry a wheeler fat wrench, it comes with a bunch of stuff already but then I just add whatever little ones I might still need. All there in a 4x6" box for like 60 bucks total.
I measured all the different Allen tools I have for my gun, scope, etc and made a list. Went to Ace Hardware and bought duplicate Allen wrenches for everything. I brought my calipers to the store to make sure the sizes were correct. Labeled each tool with a piece of masking tape, put it in a ziplock bag and tossed it in my range bag. Cost about $5.
I picked up a set of three zippered pouches on Amazon while ordering other things and use the small one for the tools mentioned above. It replaced the ziplock bag, which developed a hole pretty quickly with regular use and abuse.
