I have a 6-20 leupold with the tall target knobs and the biggest problem with it is trying to get it back to zero . Last time i checked i had 8 revs below my zero setting , it has 6 moa per rev and thats alot of clicks to get lost in between. Anybody got any good ideas on how to fix this problem??

I have a couple of Kenton Industries custom turrets for Leupold scopes. They have a zero stop incorporated into them. I zero at 200 yards and set the zero stop about an eighth of a turn past that. After dialing up, I just crank it down until I hit the stop and then dial back to my zero. Works great. Bob
I met a French guy the other day. I asked him "Do you speak German?" He said "No." I said "You're welcome!"

Wouldnt happen to have a pic of it would you? It's just a rubber-tipped set screw in the top of the turret. Looks like 2-56 size maybe. Bob

Will it work with different leupold scopes. I have some kenton knobs on leupold but they don't have that. What does the screw bottom out on? I guess I would like to see a picture also of one.

I turn mine to the bottom and count back up. I have my zero setting at 100yards. There is also white hash marks under the turret. Lost my place once at 1132 shooting 308. It will never happen again. Snap a pic of your your zero.

Stacked rubber neoprene washers in various thicknesses can shim to your heart's content, as close as the hardware store.

using shims as stops has downside and may void your warranty. It they are sold by the maker goforit. However zero stops work by clutch or a stop built into the turret cap (Leupold) , If you use plastic or something shims when the cap is torqued down against the shim an unwanted force will lift and displace the elevation stem.
Most people don't have what it takes to get old

I suppose that depends on your definition of "torqued down."
Never had any problem with it myself, but then again, I simply "snug" it down with two fingers, no torque needed.
