Went to the range to sight in the Ruger M77 and left the dust covers from my Leupold scope on the table. I know. Was going to replace them anyway. It's a Vari X2 3-9 and was wondering what the best aftermarket adjustment knobs there is available. It has the coin slots on it, 1/4 MOA adjustments and was probably bought about 5 years ago. ETA: How do I use the return to zero function on the scope, new to variable power and scopes in general, I just use an ACOG... |
If they're loose, why do you need new ones? Can't you just tighten them?

Tag. I need some for my 4-12 on my M77 MKII. Got a crapshoot old one, 1984 production M77, not the MKII, so barrel may be shitty. Once I get this thing out again for a final grouping report I'll post the results. I've got the 7mm and results have never been fantastic. Seems like as soon as the barrel heats up, shots start flying, so when I'm dialing in my scope, I have to take it real slow. |

Stoney Point target knobs are an option; I don't know of any competitors to those. Find an online dealer and read the reviews to get a better idea of their limitations. They aren't really cheap for what they are.
They aren't perfect, but are better than hunting turrets for dialing wind and elevation quickly. Nice thing is you can simply remove them when you want a low, snag-free profile for hunting. Regarding the return-to-zero index,you simply adjust your turrets to wherever they end up when initially sighting in your rifle to your desired zero distance. Then you take a fingernail and twist/rotate the index scale around the turret until the "0" on the scale aligns with whe rever the hash mark on the turret ended up in its' circumferential travel. The scale is mostly a complete circle, with a small 1/16" gap where the ends meet. That's where you push with your thumbnail to rotate it. (The windage and elevation scales are marked differently, but both have a "0" on them somewhere.) Note that it won't matter if you install the Stoney-Point knobs-they will cover the factory scale and the turret adjustment screw. |
