Rifle Scopes How do you set your zero stop?

[strat81]

How do you set your zero stop? I.e., do you allow a few extra clicks below zero? Why or why not?

If i have the option. I usually set the zero stop 1 mil below zero.

I usually set it 2 Mils below zero, as I move scopes around periodically. It also helps to re-zero quickly at a match, if needed.

I usually like to set mine @ 1 MIL below zero. My Vortex AMG only allows .5 MIL below zero.

I know what it's for, and I hate it. It's a design flaw as far as I'm concerned, and I wish all my scopes had solid, true zero stops like NF. Any benefit gained is negated by not being able to twist it fast back to true zero, which is really all I care about. I'll hold under if I need to switch on the fly, I don't want any of that in the turret.

I set all of my scopes to 1 MOA under. I've seen too many "this shift doesn't have lash" high end scopes fail to return to a perfect zero. Dialing to stop and coming up 4 clicks takes an extra 1 second.

I get why guys like it for ammo changes or altitude changes, but I don't.

If I scope fails to perfectly return to zero it's broken, and I'm sending it back. Anyone who pays $3K for a scope that does not preform must be out their minds.

I'm not loosing stages because it takes me too long to return to true zero. I just find it annoying.

Ill give 2 or 3 clicks if it will let me but I dont stray far from true 0.
