Abstract

An adjustable zero-stop turret assembly for an optical firearm scope, the turret assembly defining an axis and including: a turret housing with a cavity to receive a head portion of a main turret screw and including a wall portion defining an opening; a rotatable zero-stop element carrier including a base portion, an upper portion and a first zero-stop element coupled to the base portion; an adjustable set screw adjacent the opening; a second zero-stop element receiving the screw, a first portion of the second zero-stop element positioned within the opening, and a second portion of the second zero-stop element projecting outside the opening and into the turret-housing cavity. The second zero-stop element travels axially along the screw from a first position to a second position. In the second position, portions of the first zero-stop element and the second zero-stop element reside in a common plane perpendicular to the axis.
