Abstract
A turret for an optical scope including a base, a turret cover graspable by a user, a zero stop limiter, a zero stop ring extending around a guide groove, and a projection movable within the guide groove. The turret cover and the ring are operable in a zero stop setting mode in which these components rotate in unison about an axis of rotation, while the turret cover remains installed on the turret, so the projection moves in the guide groove until the projection engages the zero stop limiter to establish a zero stop. The turret cover can include a first interface element and the zero stop ring can include a second interface element that interface with one another so these components rotate in unison. The guide groove can be defined by a guide sleeve fixed to the base and threadably engaged with the ring.
