Rifle Scopes Tract zerostop adjusting below zero

[darth_ritis]

I run a Tract Toric 4-25x50 and I am trying to set the zero stop so that I can dial a few tenths below zero. It's giving me a hell of a time, it only wants to work if I set the zerostop as instructed and the turret cannot go below zero at all.

Zero Stop Installation and Reset to Zero - TORIC 4-25X50 Long Range Rifle Scope

JL shows you how to install the Zero Stop and Reset the turret to Zero on the TORIC 4-25X50 Long Range rifle scope

I've tried having it rotated back a bit, roughly 45 degrees, 60 degrees, 90 degrees, and those did nothing.

Is there a technique that works? Do I have to modify the zerostop to do what I want? I don't really have the tools or skills to be comfortable doing that. Do I need to add shims? Where would I find them in the right size?

Thanks in advance.

How about just zero 2/10 low and remembering to turn to zero stop and then bump up 2/10 for your zero yardage?

Hard to tell in that video, but it looks like a collar on a translating turret, probably with a stop pin in the elevation turret and also a tab or pin on the zero stop collar to stop against the pin in the turret.

If that's the case, with the zero stop removed, zero the rifle and then dial down say 0.5 mils below your zero. Then remove the turret and install the zero stop, rotating it against the stop pin before snugging the screws. Then reinstall the turret at the -0.5 mil line. The zero stop should now be set at -0.5 mil below zero.

D'oh! Why didn't I think of that? Thank you, it worked perfectly.
