Installed a used USO scope on my LaRue OBR the other day and tried to sight in, but had a lot of trouble. Wasn't sure if it was the scope so I tried re-centering the reticle. Got the elevation set but when I tried to run the windage full left to count turns it jammed and I cannot move the knob no matter how hard I turn. I don't want to put a wrench or anything on it but was looking for suggestions to free it up.
 
Have you tried loosening up your rings? Sometimes if they are too tight what you described can happen.

Took the scope completely off the gun and out of the rings. No joy.

Guess I'll box it up and send it off. Didn't want to wait that long if there was a simple fix, but thanks.
