[QUOTE="Sealesniper, post: 2224632, member: 20769"] Take the screw you have to a local Fastenal and have them measure the screw threads and pitch. buy a couple new full threaded screws that are the right length and a couple longer with lots of nuts and a couple washers with similar head but probably socket head. Thread the nuts and washers on to one of the longer sacrificial screws, stacking nuts and washers to be same length as the shoulder of your current good screw. Using a bench grinder, grind the sides down slowly to match your current screw shoulder. Does not have to be perfect circular diameter, just smaller than the bore of the turret. Remove nuts and washers, thread them on to your correct sized screw and add a little lock tight. Let lock tight set and put scope back together. Should be fixed. [/QUOTE]
