Custom zero stop??

[1mil]

An old subject I gather but my search turned up zero Does anyone make zero stops? Or have a good DYI plan. I have a Sightron SIII 8-32.
Thanks for any help

Hi
Just in the process of getting some turned up by a friend out of nylon or something similar to these specs: I.D 23.6mm, O.D. between 25.6mm & 26.6mm Height 4mm. This should give me either a 300 yd or 600yd zero ( can't remember). i'll get a couple so I can play around to get final sizings.

This if for my Sightron 10 x 50. Up till now I'v been using an O-Ring that gets me close to zero but I have to take it off each put-away time to put the turret covers back on.

I did find some off-the-shelf washers that were pretty close to this but not exact.

I have made a few out of delrin for my personal use. A very handy little gadget. I do a lot of dialing for long range plinking and it is very nice to have a safety net when things go sideways!

Very simple. I took a silver Sharpie and made a thick silver line against the turrent at my zero. Prevents coming down a revolution too far.

Never would have thought of that ... brilliant and the KISS methods always seem to make things work

Answers that no one makes money on are often not well received.

I use what I call the Fred Flintstone method. I place a label on each scope with revolutions from full stop to zero. I have 3 of those identical scopes, it has worked for me so far.

White ziptie....get a few different sizes and shave/cut the edges until it goes just under your "zero"

Well just tried the two different thicknesses of washers my colleague made up for me and all I know at this stage is they fit perfectly and I can screw the turret caps back on with them in place. Final proof of what height they need to be will be worked out at the range with a little piece of sandpaper to get it as close as I can. Really as long as I am within one revolution of the 300yd setting I'll be good to go.
