Abstract
The invention relates to an actuating element for setting the aim mark of a telescopic sight. According to the invention, the actuating element is rotatably located on the telescopic sight in the form of a rotary knob and the aim mark is displaced in a vertical and/or horizontal direction by means of a mechanical actuator, when the rotary knob is turned. In addition, the rotational area of the rotary knob is restricted in both rotational directions by at least one working region stop. The rotary knob is detachably coupled to the mechanical actuator. The working region stop(s) can be deactivated, allowing the rotary knob to be turned beyond the working region stop in both directions. The actuating element can be switched between at least three different modes. In mode A, the rotary knob is coupled to the mechanical actuator and the working region stop is inactive. In mode B, the rotary knob is decoupled from the mechanical actuator when the working region stop is active and in mode C, the rotary knob is coupled to the mechanical actuator and the working region stop is active.
