Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 new model

Not sure if it’s my elevation turret loosening up with use on a couple of these, but I’ve noticed that every so often my scopes have been “dialing themselves” a couple clicks or so.

Last week I missed a coyote clean over his back at 340 yards using the reticle as hold over on my .243. Not to sound like an arrogant ass but that’s not a shot I miss often… Turns out the elevation turret had spun 3 or 4 clicks up on its own riding in the backseat of my jeep.

This happened on one of my 223s as well. I’m a bit frustrated with the lack of having to push or pull the knob in order to dial it.

Have any of you tried some tape that would hold it in place but not stop you from dialing, just with a bit more force?

Fatter Oring should help. Or some dielectric grease

I’ve said this before but nobody seems to care about any miss unless it’s from being dropped. I missed a nontypical giant buck due to a spun turret. A chip shot with a rest. One of the reasons (many) that I love my vortex LHT. I don’t understand why every scope doesn’t have a locking elevation turret and capped windage turret.
 
Rokslide favorite needing tape, fatter o-ring, dielectric grease, bubblegum and bailing wire. Not confidence inspiring.

Above post was edited a tad. Don't want to discount something that can pass a drop test yet turret spins unbeknownst to the user.

If it makes you feel better, I’ve had VX6’s and Mark 5’s with the push button zero lock, and had those still unlock while carrying them and have them click several times before I saw it.

I think the “lift turret to dial” is the best system for sure.
 
In terms of dropping ... I have one mounted on a rifle that I was doing a touch-up paint job to a couple of days ago. Long story short, rifle and scope fell about 2 feet onto bare concrete.

I hadn't had the chance to zero it yet, so can't tell you if it retained zero - but will test functionality over the coming months and report back here if there are any issues.
