Hi guys,
I'm currently thinking of buying myself a CT and was wondering how easy it is to adjust in the field in real terms?
If I wanted to jump from say 30 - 50 mils can I just slacken off the three screws and adjust getting myself pretty close enough to work with?
Or is it a case of I really need to sit down , follow the instructions to the letter or my shots won't fall in the same time zone?

It's super easy, just takes two people and time.

You have to watch the target while someone adjusts it. There is a locking screw and adjustment screw, but for accuracy, you have to look through the scope.

For ELR it is the best product you can own.

Thanks Frank....mines arriving tomorrow ???

Adjusting it is easy enough, just not in the field. Unless something has changed since my last use of one, you have to adjust compared to a scale downrange as there is not system of measurement on the unit.

there is no knowing where you change it too, you have to work the numbers backward and sort of guess what you have after the adjustment.

But if you watch through the scope and have someone else adjust you can "rezero" it on target.

We had Brad Stair with us who works with John Baker and he made the adjustments on the fly for us in New Mexico and it was pretty easy and just as accurate. You basically use the distance to rezero the Taco unit and its done by watching it.

I dont know if he has a procedure noted, but we did it several times and it was simple.

I might have a look at mine and see if I can replace the adjustment screw with a micrometer barrel, it should be easily dialable then

Exactly. A micrometer thimble and a spring or screw on the other side to take up any backlash would be easy. I've never adjusted mine, it's set for 110 moa and that seems like a good spot to transition to the prism when required. I believe John has a prototype adjustable unit out, not sure when it will be available.

I have seen a prototype with a marked adjustment knob

I believe a short video is on Tacoms Facebook.
I've been told that the new version will be about £2400 and probably be out after shot show
How true that is I don't know

After having had a good look at my CT I've come to the conclusion that it should be an easy modification to allow redilable adjustment for 25-50-75-100 mils of adjustment without anything other than a torx and Allen key.?
Wait out

Yes no problem., It's only a case of making a teardrop shaped insert to fit in the adjustment plate where screws 1,2,3 are located. All I have to do then is set to 25 mils and engrave a straight line , set to 50 etc and engrave
If it works on verniers im sure it will be more than accurate enough and repeatable for this job.
I might even run a few extra inserts off as it's being cnc'd by my mate anyway ??
