Rifle Scopes USO can you get a zero stop??
Re: USO can you get a zero stop??
Not really. The EREK can be configured to bottom out any pretty much any arbitrary point, so it sort of acts like a zero stop, but that's about it.

Re: USO can you get a zero stop??
EREK can be bottomed out as you set it up for zero. It's one of the free nice features of the EREK.
There are other zero stops available and are generaly a phone call away. You just have to know to ask for it.
Cheers,

What they said, and....
You will most likely need to re-establish your zero if you adjust the knob since the center screw and the EREK knob threads are two different pitches.
Also, if you are running the knob down all the way to find it's stopping point, you might as well do it while holding the center screw still while you bottom the knob. Be careful not to force anything, as with any scope.
Establishing a zero again is so easy, it's nothing to worry about avoiding.

Re: USO can you get a zero stop??
First thing to try is simply remove the two hex screws on top of the EREK. Then spin it down until it stops. Then just dial it back up to 0 and reattach the two hex screws. Now when you dial down it will dial past zero but never a full-rev.

If you loosen the two screws, the knob spins freely until the end of time.
Are you saying to remove the knob and turn the internal parts it attaches to? This would be the same as turning the knob with the screws tight.

My guess is he's confusing the USO and Nightforce catalog . . .

Re: USO can you get a zero stop??
I don't know of what he speaks, but knowing him I will give him the benefit of doubt. He has reason to know more about the offerings than most of us.

Don't doubt doc76251, he knows of what he speaks. Just call USO and they'll hook you up.
Actually my USO zero stop was an email away. They can zerostop #1's, #3's and the Erek is well, the Erek. I'd recommend zeroing your scope, then sending it in. Mine came back just as I asked for it and was w/in a 1/2moa of my zero went I pulled it off.

Re: USO can you get a zero stop??
I'd like to know more about this mysterious USO zero stop. I don't understand why is isn't advertised.
Is it resettable? Meaning, can it be disengaged and reengaged if the scope moves to another rifle or uses a different load?
I'd like to know if it is an actual mechanism on the turret itself, or is it simply a one-time USO adjustment of the erector screw so it happens to bottom out right around the 100 yard zero point of the rifle.
Either way, kudos to USO for offering this feature, but I think the OP deserves a clear description, and how it might differ from other Zero Stop mechanisms, such as Nightforce.
Pics would be sweet.

Re: USO can you get a zero stop??
CALL USO if you have a question about their products.
Just because it isn't listed in the catalog doesn't mean they can't do it. They are a CUSTOM scope maker.

Re: USO can you get a zero stop??
Looks like a US#1 with the knobs off. Has 62moa (5 revs+8 clicks) of "up" now.
