The turrets has two adjustments rings, the internal and the external. You can see it in this photo
http://decaza.com/modules.php?name=coppermine&file=displ ayimage&meta=lastup&cat=10310&pos=0 Rotating the internal, the external one rotates at the same time, but it does not occur the same in the other way, rotating the external, the internal is stopped. I thought the external was as a mark for returning back to the previous zero adjustment in case of, for instance, to change the bullets. Please, I need info about the functions of both adjustments. I cannot understand their function. |

Can you post the picture you are talking about on this forum? The site where you have them requires registration, so I can not see the picture.
Are you talking about the Sightron or the Bushnell? ILya |

The outer ring is knurled and when you turn you can hear and feel clicks. That is what makes an adjustment. The flat horizontal disk is simply a scale. Once you used the knurled ring for sighting in, you can then rotate the scale to reset you sight-in position to show "zero". When you turn the scale disk only, there should be no clicks.

Thanks, ILya.
I suppose you wanted to say the inner ring ... I can hear and feel clicks with the inner one. So, after adjusting the scope, I could put the scale to "zero". But ... Imagine I am going to use the scope with a new bullet (long-range for deer versus the usual short-range for wild-boar) then I need to resight-in the scope and adjusting the inner ring then the outer ring (the scale) moves in the same way, so I will have lost the "zero" and I could not return easily to the previous bullet sighted-in. I think it is not usefull in any way or I am not understanding anything. |

Ok, so know I understand what you are calling inner rings vs outer ring.
If you want to switch between different sight-in points, you zero the scale for one load only and do not touch it. Then one load will be zeroed with the scale set at "0" and the other load will be zeroed with the scale sitting at "2", for example. The best way to do this though is to simply count how many clicks are between the two sight-in points and use that. Then you can use the scale whichever way you want. You'll just know that it takes, for example, 8 clicks to change from sight-in for one load to another. ILya |

OK, ILya, but it is the same with my swaro without the "scale" ring: to count the clicks and remember them or put them in a paper. It was fantastic if the scale ring do not rotate when rotating the adjusting one.
Thanks |
