Why can't your scope adjustment go straight?

Have you ever found that when you adjust the scope windage or elevation, it won’t go straight but go diagonally?

In fact, it does not go diagonally but go in an ARC. To solve this problem, you need to know how the scope adjustments work.


Just as Picture 1 shows, inside the scope is another tube, we call it erector tube which carries the reticle. image001.jpg

Around the erector tube are three connection points, they help to hold it. Two of them are windage turret and elevation turret respectively, the other one is called return spring or erector spring.


When we adjust the turrets to alter the position of the reticle, the windage turret or elevation turret push the erector tube to move to the target position.

Adjust the elevation turret, it pushes the erector tube up and down; Adjust the windage turret, it pushes the erector tube side to side.


Then comes to the problem why the adjustment go in an arc.

Take the Picture below as an example. 

Firstly, the windage has been keeping adjusted to far left or close to its extreme position;

Secondly, the elevation has been keeping adjusted up; 

As a result, the erector tube comes to meet the inwall of the scope body.

At this time, if you continue to adjust the elevation upwards, there is no room for the erector tube to go up straightly, so it will walk along the shape of the scope inwall in an arc route.


So some scopes limit the windage adjustment turret range to make sure there are enough room for erector tube to travel up and down straightly. To avoid this problem, you need to remember not to adjust the turrets too far or close to its extreme position.

Just as the principle mentioned above we limited the windage adjustment range to avoid the situation adjustments go in an arc.

New Continental changes to FFP provide you more choice, the added zero stop function allows you to calibrate quickly.

The zero stop turret can let you return back to your preset zero without having to count the clicks.

The good news is the new Continental is available now!
