Hey all,
You may have already read this article, but if you have not it really provided some good information about the mechanical elements in scope design without any brand bias. Great article and I thought I would pass it along.

Read this article years ago. Good basic information on how scopes work. Would help new shooters understand what is going on in there when they get to "screwing" around with their scope.

Welcome... I too had a general idea, but not specifics on the mechanical design details. Glad to help.
