    Non zero lock turrets can be a bitch.

    My Vx6 2-12 non zero locking turret is a bugger for sometimes moving off zero through rubbing etc, and I never know which way it has moved and by how much.

    Ive come up with a way to work it out.
    Once sighted in I reset the elevation to "0" and then wind the turret down to the bottom of its travel (when it stops) and counting the full turns plus final mins/clicks.

    So now if it gets rubbed off zero and Im confused by which direction I just dial to the bottom and count up again. Ive written the revolutions and part revolutions on my ballistic table for easy reference.

    My scope adjusts very accurately which is a bonus.
    Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.
