Abstract

A diopter adjustment mechanism comprises a scope tube with a first female thread and a second female thread. The first female thread has a first pitch and is disposed on the scope tube forming a spiral thread and lands between the spiral threads. The second female thread has a second pitch and is disposed on the lands of the first female thread. A jam nut has a male thread corresponding to and engaging the second female thread. The pitch of the first female thread is greater than the pitch of the second female thread.

Abstract

A viewing optic is disclosed. In one embodiment, the viewing optic is a rifle scope having a scope body, a movable optical element defining an optical axis connected to the scope body, a turret and a zero point adjustment subassembly. The turret includes a turret screw, a turret chassis subassembly and a turret cap. The turret screw defines a screw axis and is operably connected to the optical element for adjusting the optical axis in response to rotation of the screw. The turret cap at least partially overlaps the turret chassis subassembly. The zero point adjustment subassembly includes a zero cap connected to the turret screw and a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism releasably secures the zero cap and the turret. The zero point adjustment subassembly permits adjustment of the zero point without the use of tools.

Abstract

An alignment mechanism has a base with a front right quadrant, a front left quadrant, a rear right quadrant, and a rear left quadrant. The base further defines a yaw axis and a pitch axis. A ball and socket linkage is located on the base at either the front right quadrant or front left quadrant at the intersection of the yaw axis and the pitch axis. A pressure plate assembly is also on the bottom surface of the base at the other of the front right quadrant and front left quadrant. A spring is in contact with one of the rear right quadrant and rear left quadrant and kitty-comer with the ball and socket linkage, with a yaw alignment surface on the other of the rear right quadrant and rear left quadrant. A pitch alignment surface is also on one of the rear right quadrant and rear left quadrant.

Abstract

Rifle scope turrets with spiral cam mechanisms include a scope body, a movable optical element defining an optical axis enclosed by the scope body, and a turret having a screw operably connected to the optical element for adjusting the optical axis in response to rotation of the screw. The turret has a spiral cam mechanism engaged thereto. The turret defines first and second stop surfaces positioned for engagement by the spiral cam to limit rotation of the turn The first stop surface defines a zero position of the screw and the movable optical element. The second stop surface defines a maximum point of displacement of the screw and the moveable optical element. The stop surfaces may be defined by a spiral cam groove in the indexing portion of the turret. The groove may overlap itself at least partially. The turret may be an elevation turret or a windage turret.

Abstract

An alignment mechanism uses two adjustment plates. A first adjustment plate is pivotal about a first adjustment axis and a second adjustment plate is rotatable about a second adjustment axis. The first and second adjustment axes are perpendicular to one another. The first plate has a front portion through which the first adjustment axis passes and a rear portion having a first alignment surface and a tension spring secured to the rear portion opposite the first alignment surface. The second adjustment plate has a front portion and a rear portion having a second alignment surface and a tension spring secured between the second alignment surface and the rear portion of the first adjustment plate.

Abstract

A cover for use with an optic device to hold and display shooting information. The cover may have resilient retention members that allow a display to be releasably attached and detached from the cover. The display may be made from a single substrate or multiple substrates in order to make the shooting information contained thereon highly visible in a variety of conditions and shooting preferences. The display may further be customized by a user to include desired DOPE information and then printed onto the single or multiple substrates. A system and method for creating custom DOPE charts is also provided.
