Thread: Zero stop

I would rate it as 'desirable' rather than 'necessity'.

-You could muck it up, but usually you are returning to zero under less pressure than when you were 'dialling-up', so you can be a bit careful.

-many scopes have turrets that can be reset to zero, so you only have to turn back to zero each time. (as opposed to true "zero stop" which is a mechanical stop at the same position).

Hope that helps.
