Hello all again.
Thanks to your awesome help, I was able to receive from one of you the old manual for my scope from this thread:
Old Leupold Scope - Can anyone help with manual/details?
Now I have another issue. The rifle and scope combo is awesome and I did hit 8" targets at 1000m (about 1100 yds) so everything is perfect, except I needed to do a bunch of clicks to get it to where I wanted it, zeroed in at 500m.
Now I want to be able to leave the setting as is but return the tactical turrets to the zero point so I have full range again, in order to do this I need to unscrew three little Allen key type screws on the top of each turret to be able to rotate the turret without changing the position of the reticle and place it at zero before once again tightening the screws.
The problem I have is that as I am in Europe, most Allen keys are in decimals and the ones I have tried are not working.
In metric, the 1mm key is too small and the 1.5mm key is too big. So It has to be a dimension between these two values, which I am assuming is some kind of imperial measurement. The manual does not give any indication of what size it should be and I don't recall if the scope came with one or not, but even if it did it's been lost to the sands of time. Can one of you let me know what the size ranges for Allen keys in imperial are?
The 1/16 is again too big since it works out as equivalent to 1.59mm (25.4mm which is one inch in metric, divided by 16 gives 1.5875mm).
I could probably try and google around for this info, but you guys are better than google so... here I am again.
Thanks in advance, and I hope one day I can contribute a bit more than just asking for help.
In case anyone cares, the rifle is a Ruger Precision Rifle in .300wm and I used match ammo, but all out of the box, and the 1000m hits were across a small valley with some cross winds (not very strong but enough to make you miss by a foot or two at times if you didn't gauge it right)
