So I’m getting a DT SRS A2 Covert from SAC. Getting a Proof Carbon 18” 6.5cm conversion & 450bm Bartlein conversion..
rig will predominantly be used for hunting but also get some steel use out to 1k yds (furthest I have access to)

Anyway only glass I’ve owned in my life is NF ATACR/NXS, Vortex razor II, & Leupold...

Thinking of either a TT315, ZCO 420, or Leupold Mark5 3.6-18, others??

Looking to be able to change zero/zero stop simply with the 2 calibers? NF isn’t exactly a pain in the ass but I wouldn’t say it’s easy.

I know I pretty much can’t go wrong with either but trying to keep a good combo of weight, ease of use between multiple calibers, and size. Thoughts? (I’m scared to look through a ZCO or TT for fear of wanting to sell my NF’s, Vortex’s, & Leupolds)
 
TT has the easiest zero "reset". Another option, and what I run on my DT, is the Revic PMR 428. It's a great scope for a system like the DT if you think you'll switch between calibers frequently. I change my barrels all the time at the range so the Revic works well for me. I have ZCO scopes as well and the Revic is not as nice glass wise, but the rest of the features of the Revic are very nice. The zero set is pretty cool too. Anyway, just another scope to consider.
 
TT P as stated above is is perfect match up with your DT.
There's one in the classifieds right now, I know the seller, he's a good guy

OP, when you say "Lightweight" and then I see DT SRS Covert, I don't really think light weight, but I suppose it's relative. The TT is your best option for easy Zero reset and is an excellent option. I own the ZCO ZC420 and it's superb optically, but TT turrets are better IMO. If you feel you want more magnification than 15x the ZCO is the next best, but if you're okay with 15x and might actually prefer 3x at the bottom then TT315P is where it's at especially for the toolless reset - this was basically made for AI and DT rifles with quick switch barrels!
 
Yeah I use lightweight loosely lol when it comes to a DT, my A1 weighs a lot. Just trying to stay on the lighter side I guess. Wow good deal on that TT315p, thanks for the heads up! Appreciate it. I need to do some research on the P vs M for TT lineup.
