Re: New S&B locking quick change turret
Having handled the Short Dot w/ locking turrets, it's a nice feature though really only needed in .mil applications, in my opinion. There are so many scenarios where an exposed scope can have its turrets rubbed against and inadvertently adjusted - not so much in shooting enthusiast circles though.

Re: New S&B locking quick change turret
It's really only useful if you have a reticle with holdover capability, like a Horus. It would be a PITA to have to pull/push the lock ring every time you had to dial. It is pretty hard to move it, and was kinda hard to get a grip on, it's not made for fast dialing.

You don't need a locking turret to have a "quick way to change zero," just dial in the new zero and start shooting. The new S&B locking turrets are not designed for easily dialing in elevation and windage, they are difficult to grip without pushing the ring down to lock them. They work well with holdover reticles like the Horus. I thought they were a PITA myself and I've had my fling with a Horus reticle.
