Tucker Conversion Instructions

What is the best way to make a scope move with a Tucker converted Leopold. Go past and come back? How tight on the knob? I am having trouble getting good 1 and 2 click results. Thanks

Did you make sure that you loosened the Tucker screw before trying to make POI adjustments?

The standard Tucker conversation has no screws to move. The Tucker conversion has a wound spring inside of a tube. My Tucker Leupold I just turn the knob and forget it, the clicks are positive. Best advice I could give is contact Cecil Tucker your self and see what he says.

My Tucker conversion has a screw that locks the adjustments.

My Tucker conversion has a screw that locks the adjustments.

Sounds like either not a tucker or somebody added to it

As mentioned, Cecils conversion is spring loaded to bear on the erector tube. Don't F**k with it. Just adjust your scope as normal. I think most adjust as you would a lathe or mill. Keep your slop going one way.

three and a half year old thread but i'll add how my Tucker conversions look.

i personally handed Cecil a 36 BRD at the end of the nationals in Midland in 2011. when i got it back, it had the additional screw. was told this was the "new" way that he had been doing for about a year at that point.

i gave him another BRD to do roughly mid 2014 and it looks exactly the same as the first, with the screw.

I had forgot about this post. I took Patrick's advise and called Cecil and he said to loosen screw, make adjustment and then retighten the screw. I will set the gun up and see if changing the torque of the screw changes POI.

So for the uneducated, What is the Tucker Conversion? What does it change in the scope?

Tuckers conversion bears on the erector tube opposite side of your vertical and horizontal adjusters. It helps positive adjustment instead of shooting a round or two and having it jump over.
Below is a prototype Remingtom Custom Shop scope of the 1970s.

Next was one of 3 produced. Maybe they were originally the Mike Walker conversion.
