Hi all
I am a target shooter as must of you are that uses rifle scopes and one of the big problems with scope turrets is it is very easy to lose your elevation and wind position from moving from one distance to another. The only way is look at the turret markings and try and remember what setting is the correct setting. This is not easy to see as the makings that are very small and hard to see with age. So the only way most of the shooters do it is to count the clicks as you turn the turret and you could turn anything upto 100-300 or more clicks.
I think there would be a market out there for a device that could do this. I thought of approaching a watch maker as this would be something right up there street.
Anyway i was thinking is there someone out there that could help with making a dial face that could read the clicks off as the turret is turned so i could just say turn the turret and Dial would read this like a dial on a set of callipers would. The Dial would have to be set into the turret top and would have no out side setting nods it would have to be set to zero with a tool and it would also need to withstand a harsh recoil action from the rifle without moving.
Or is there something out there already that I don't know about.
