Just looking at some pmII's and they all had the same problem. elevation stops at zero and wont go under or stops way past -.5 mil. Also the indicator on the turrets fails to pop. Im thinking this has to due with someone trying to float the turrets after zero and lifting up way to high on the turrets causing a malfunction???

Re: Jacked up schmidt and benders
It's called a zero stop they are made that way, and some do "stop" plus or minus a few tenths under depending on the model.
The single turn ones stop at 0, the double turns stop about 3 to 5 tenths under, they are all that way.

Re: Jacked up schmidt and benders
my bad should of been a little more specific, they are all double turns. they stop about -3.5 mils below zero, or the zero itself with no play and none of the double turn indicators work on them. they either stay popped or dont pop at all.

Loosen the allen screws, and spin the turret backwards two turns to reset the windows.

Re: Jacked up schmidt and benders
it probably is something that simple. i just thought something might have gotten messed up because there was so many people fucking with these scopes with no one watching them.

Sounds like user error, Not the scope.

Re: Jacked up schmidt and benders
so i found the problem. the small peg underneath the turret that catches on the latch to pop up the indicator was completely snapped off and they had floated the turrets in the complete opposite way. the pop up indicators also had a lot of junk causing them to stick and not pop up (plus not being able to spin past 0 again) and someone had forced it past the 0 so it snapped those pegs off. one of them hadnt been forcefully snapped off, so just a little cleaning of the indicator and it was just like new again.
