Re: S & B 3-20 Users...Real feedback wanted

The turrets on the 3-20 ARE NOT DESIGNED TO BE REMOVED.
This is the proper zeroing technique for the 3-20:
When sighting in the scope for the first time, or re-sighting the scope due to service or repair the elevation and windage adjustment must be recalibrated. Therefore a test shooting on a target in (at) the reference distance in which the scope shall be zeroed must be performed.
The deviation from the center of the target or point of aim is then corrected.
The centering of the shot pattern is finally confirmed by another test shooting. If the deviation from the center of the target or point of aim continues to exist please repeat the procedure.
To adjust the turrets, lock both turrets, elevation and windage, unlock the two Allen screws located at 9 and 3 o’clock ONLY. Loosen ½ turn in the outside diameter in line with the “LOCKED” signage using an Allen key. Now unlock the turrets by pulling up the outer bushing with the engraving and turn both turrets until the engraved “0” is indicated by the triangle on the saddle. The clicks of the turrets can be felt and heard when the screws are unlocked. This has no impact on the process of zeroing as the reticle does not move while the setscrews are loose.
Lock the turrets by pushing down the outer bushing with the engraving and tighten the two Allen head screws with an Allen key. Tighten set screws gradually with equal amount of turn on the Allen set screws – do NOT over tighten, this could cause internal damage.
The elevation turret must be in the first revolution. The turret caps are secured by an additional screw that should never be removed by the user, otherwise the entire turret will come off and readjustment of the MTC pins is very difficult. Unlike other Schmidt & Bender turrets, this retaining screw should only be removed by a trained Schmidt & Bender technician. Removal of this retaining screw may result in the malfunction of the Elevation turret. The clicks of the turrets can be felt and heard when the screws are unlocked. This has no impact on the process of zeroing as the thread piece does not move while the set screws are loose.

for what it's worth, I have one of these and havent had any issues with it. Although, I did manage to break the very first M8541 SSDS ever delivered to the USMC sooooooo..... I will probably break this at some point too.
