Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 6 zero stop question

[Andy T]

Spinning off from another thread:
I am trying to figure out the proper way to bypass/reset and then set the zero stop on Mark 6 with M5B2 turrets.
I followed the directions in the manual, loosening the set screw, and rotating CW while squeezing the turrets. However, I appear to still miss some elevation movement.
Also, I can't figure out how to set the zero stop after the rifle has been sighted in.

Thanks!

Exact same problem here too! Have you found the solution? Have had mine since Dec 1 still haven't figured it out.

bumping this up. My Mark 6 is in my hand. Haven't mounted it yet. Any help on this subject would be greatly appreciated........

The zero stop is a hard stop. Sight in the optic then loosen the turret set screw, rotate to the stop(or + for your needs), re tighten screw, lift rotation indicator ring and place in appropriate point(zero or +- for your needs).

Like phreak said- get your rifle sighted in, loosen the set screw, rotate the turret all the way down until it stops, retighten the set screw, and set the indicator ring. The Leupolds are designed primarily to have the turret zero stop directly on zero, for the 5-mil tactile clicks. Although you can set the zero stop where ever you wish in relation to your zero, the turret still has the tactile click every 5 mils. It is my experience owning multiple Leupold Mark 6's and 8's, that the slop in the pinch turrets make it difficult to precisely hit the first 0.1 mil above or below the 5-mil tactile click.

Same here, the stop and the detents indicating a half rev make it difficult to hit the next tenth of a Mil, takes a little more force to get off of the stops and detents. I usually pass that first tenth of a mil and have to dial back down.
