Are the pictures gone? I can't see them. Not sure if the system, or my computer Many got wankered. I will need to un F' them. Have heard a similar mod has been done by others. I have a 12X that I figure I may as well chop. Soon. More ideas than time.

Up. 12X this time. Takes like 5 minutes. Sticks out a bunch ehh? Put the chop to it just inside of the inner rim of the groove the O-ring sets in. Zing. Slide off the thin band with the numbering for revolutions on it. Optional I suppose. This one was fairly secure, others have been loose. Chop the brass post. This time I left it about 1.5-2 mm long.

It's whacked off biggly. Cleaned up my sloppy chops with a file. Cut a slot. This time made it bigger to accommodate a coin, like the good old days. Lefty is righty.

Trimmed a 7/8" vinyl leg tip. Fits super tight. I don't care for the gloss look but this time it'll do... Decreased stickout by 8 mm but diameter also helps clear ejected rounds.... Note: This mod is not SWFA approved. I would like to send them one someday but down to two SWFA FFs now. Enjoy and Get Some.

Couldn’t you just cut the numbers off the cap then use the set screws to hold it in place?

Or go even further and D/T the stem and put a screw through the top of the cap?

For a fraction of the overall reduction, yah sure. Go for it. I think the knurled part of the knob could be ground down... Sans preference for capped windage of course.

Gotcha. Couldn’t remember how much bite that cap had. Could possibly drill the cap all the way and let the stem pass through it.
🤔.....maybe a winter project for 16 Bore Engineering & Skullphuck, Inc.
Pop needs a project.

Next stop at home I will grind a knob to see what happens. Not sure how much I can trim and chop while maintaining the o-rings?

Just mount it 90 degrees to the left and swap turret caps. This puts the the large turret on the left side and greatly improves ejection.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

Not so uber with the Mil Quad. Love the Mil-Quad, upright. This is not an attempt to suggest a correct path forward. More of a continued demonstration of my dislike of the windage dial that is, in my use, used once, during sight-in. YMMV

It’s kinda silly to rob yourself of all the windage. If you were trying to take a 2,000 yard shot with a 150 mph cross wind, you’d need 68 Mils of windage.
7mag/162’s of course. 😂😂😂
But maybe my math is off.....

You need a mini tubing cutter.

But maybe my math is off..... Use 180 ELDs.... You need a mini tubing cutter. Dremel and a machine sander are more to my liking, I mean mentality!

Cool mod. Thanks for sharing the detailed pics. Does this reduce the overall weight to any measurable degree?
