[QUOTE="26Reload, post: 1459981, member: 99519"] The material....good question....i have recently put most everything into storage including the remains of the plastic material i used for the piece... I thought about using plastic from a heavy plastic butter lid....BUT...i thought all you guys would laugh at that....but i found the material at HobbyLobby while my son was looking for something for school...its thicker than a butter container lid..... Having looked at my scopes this is what I found... The scope on the 65284 is a vxii 6-18 adj obj...with cds vertical turret..and plastic zero....turret caps do not raise/lower as turned....[ATTACH]101484[/ATTACH] The scope on the 280ai is a vxiii 4.5-14 SF...i had both turrets installed by leupold few months back...yes plastic zero...turret caps do not raise/lower as turned[ATTACH]101482[/ATTACH] The 26 Nosler host a vx3i lrp 6.5-20...and turret DOES NOT RAISE AS TURNED...there is a second piece under the turret cap that lowers when turret is turned....originally i thought the cap raised....what i get for thinking...[ATTACH]101485[/ATTACH] And **** you....now I have no idea how the plastics gently slow my return as I rezero........thanks.....I didn't need anything else bothering me while I try to sleep....... The plastic pieces slow the turret as i get towards zero....they don't stop it...but if I remember correctly turret only goes about 5moa past zero before getting stiff....so I know to go back up to zero...
