jmsdad, thanks for posting. I thought about doing the same but I did not know what size bearing to buy or where to find them. Hobbyshop?
Even if the stop is not "exactly" at zero it still serves the purpose of preventing the dial from being spun to far and loosing track of zero. Besides, you can return the dial to the stop and either back to z
ero or leave it. You still need would to look at the dial to spin up.
Hardware store...I like ACE because it's closer to me and they stock hard to find items...
I could have set the zero stop at exactly zero, but didn't want to chance it not knowing where it'll end up. I'll drill another small hole and get it line up at exactly zero when I have time next week.
Zero stop is fool-proof for the 11yr old son and myself included. Without the stop, I would hate to imagine the dial being one revolution off and taking a shot at the largest deer one has seen in a lifetime.
Neat work.
How does Leupold view this as regards the warranty on the scope?

I'm not worry about it. It does not affect the internal mechanism of the scope. Worst case scenario is I call up Leupold to order another dial...
