Sightron SIII but no zerostop

[No Fear in Accuracy]

I really like Sightron SIII 8x32x56 however it did not come with zerostop, like NightForce.

Do I really need "zero-stop"?
I wondered if I set up the zero at 100 yards and remembered the MOA or MIL number on the turret. (Sightron). When I'm done shooting and I can dialed down to the specific number which is zero for 100 yards. You know what I'm talking about?

For ex. I have a wrench torque and I set up at 90 psi and torque the wheel nuts and I dialed it back to zero after it is done.

I'm using it for F-Class and plinking/deer hunting. I have 6BR custom rifle without scope.

that would work. For me though, I'm just as likely to forget howmany clicks I went and have a major problem, that's a big part of the reason I got a scope with a zerostop...if I had a better memory i might not have worried about it

you can set the turret to zero if thats what your asking just by loosening whatever is holding it on and moving it. but a zero stop is another matter. optics makers have really been slow to add this feature, IMO hell yes you need it and yes its very very useful. There should not be a scope maker that sells a scope with target turrets that doesn't offer a zero stop option. after trying a nightforce the zero stop function on their scopes is awesome.

No Zero stop is a deal breaker for me. The dials on the Leupold I use now do not have Zero stop what a pain in the a$$. I can't count the times caught up in the excitement of hunting and not dialing back when things are fresh in memory find myself staring at the turret wondering where and the heck is zero or pulling the rifle out of the scabbard and then wondering if where I reset it is "zero"


Oh yeah will never buy another scope without "zero stop"

I have the 10-50 MOA illuminated and I don't need or care for the zerostop in this scope. scope has 10MOA per revolution I have mine set up so that if it's on zero I can't go down another revolution so it's impossible to not know were my zero is. I have 46MOA adjustment up after I set it and re zero'd the scope. I LOVE MINE!!!!

I wonder if there are some sort of patent issues with adding this to a scope. vortex and huskemaw use a similar setup that just limits the down travel of the knob either by shims or an adjustable collar. I haven't looked at what S&B does but nightforce is by far and away the best zero stop setup.

Perfect. I can adjust the turret to "0". Not a problem. I can dial it down to "0" and start again.

I believe it is not that hard. I believe I made the right choice. Sightron SIII is the champion.
