Rifle Scopes Athlon Ares ETR / Midas TAC - Setting zero stop below 0

[NicoDiko]

Hi guys

If i want to set the zero stop on my Athlon Ares ETR and Athlon Midas TAC so i can dial 1mil below 0, how should i do it without messing anything up?

Best regards

This should only take some minor critical thinking

With the zero stop loose, zero your rifle at what ever distance you choose.
Take your turret cap off and align the 0 mark with the line and push cap back on.
Dial down your 1mil
Remove cap and set zero stop
replace cap in the same orientaion (I think 9 should be aligned with the mark. I'm not very familiar with mils)
Dial back up to zero.
Double check zero at your distance.
Done

Sry if its a stupid question, but will i damage anything if i use/dial on the scope while the zero stop ring is completly removed from the scope?

No you can take it off if you want. its an external mechanical stop
