What happened to the "2 clicks down" part of the setup? Arken says to turn the turret 2 clicks down and then tighten the zero stop. You don't do that? Looks like it worked fine for you... just have no idea why they say to do that.

Because if the zero on the cap is off a hair or not perfectly centered, and you don't go up 1 or 2 clicks, the screw can hit the shelf that's raised up and it won't work. The 2 clicks up just guarantees it'll go down enough without hitting the metal shelf it stops on.

Yeah that’s what I mean prob just said it wrong. My score was low from the factory so I had to dial UP CLOCKWISE to zero. Now with zero stop on you’re set at zero so the only way you can dial is counter clockwise so if you need to dial 3 MOA FOR say 300 yards you dial and boom you’re at 3 center hold. Then back to a 100 yard zero You can turn it blindly back to zero.

So, now I've got "0" on "0" and I think that's a good starting point for heading out to the range for the first time. I'm assuming I've got a centered reticle(or close to it) and Burris Signature rings that can roughly add/subtract elev/windage.

The purpose of the Zero stop is to have a known return point. Once you begin twisting the turret all around different directions and in full rotations you need to be able to get it back to the spot you zero the rifle ..in your case the 100y setting. Without the stop you could actually be off a full rotation and not know it. This way you just crank it all way til stops.

Your cap might possibly be too low. I would loosen the 3 set screws, remove the cap, loosen the brass set screw and thread your zero stop in just below the surface, drop the cap on and tighten your 3 set screws. Then back the zero stop screw out just a hair and tighten the brass set screw. That should take care of it.

As you dial "up" the elevation turret also goes up, which will allow you to dial past the zero stop. When you dial back down, the stop will make contact again where you have your turret zeroed, if that makes sense.
@RugerGundog
Жыл бұрын
The zero stop is opposite of what you are thinking. It's limits the turret downward spin to stop at your zeroing distance. The turret will spin upward for farther shots. Now if you mean you zero at 200 and want to shoot 50..then you would need to use retical.

When you "zero" a rifle that is the spot on that turret that you have a known impact for a known distance. Most people its 100 yards. The zero stop is a return to that spot stopper. When you begin to dial in twists of that turret up and down and in full rotations a user and lose track of the starting point (zero) for the next shot.
