Thread: Zero stop

So if the scope doesnt have a zero stop, then does it have a larger dial up range? The leupold mark 4 doesnt have a zero stop but has a larger dial range compared to the swarovski z5 which it does have the zero stop. Or is this due to the 30mm tube vs 25mm?

Comparing apples with apples- No.

The zero stop will just stop you from accessing the bottom of the elevation range below your zero. (it will stop you form 'dialling down').

Apart from situations with a longer range zero (say 300yds) I would think it would be rare for people to dial below their zero.
