I shot a bull way back last season. He was 100 yards and I felt like I should have dumped him. As it turns out I was about 12 minutes off on the dial. I was lucky and the bull ran past my pard who dumped it.

I had my turret spin on my back for the first time. It made me so upset that I swapped out all of my exposed turret hunting scopes for the new bushnell lrhs and lrhsi scopes.

Just something that will fit over the turret body(?) and under the turret cap? Is that how you're doing that Form? I use them as a ZS for elevation but haven't tightened the windage up in any way yet.





Something like these-

Usually two per turret is about right. You can vary how tight they are at zero by the amount of pressure you push down when you reattach the turret. More pressure= harder to turn. Less pressure= easier to turn.

I set mine where the elevation is reletively tight, but you can make it go .5mil or so under zero. The windage I set real tight- you can't move it more than a couple of clicks without a strap.

It works great as both a zero stop and a turret lock. They aren't moving unless you want them to.

To clarify- they are for the "Classic" SWFA SS scopes.

Ok I understand now. I do my elevation like that I just wasn't following you doing windage that way. Got it though thank you.
