US12663238 - Adjustment turret for a riflescope

An adjustment turret for a riflescope has a base socket for mounting on the riflescope; and an adjusting ring which is rotatable about an axis of rotation relative to the base socket in a first rotation direction and in an opposite second rotation direction. An actuation element arranged between the adjusting ring and the base socket is adjustable from a first position to a second position by the rotation of the adjusting ring in the first rotation direction, and is adjustable from the second position to the first position in case of rotation of the adjusting ring in the second rotation direction. By the actuation element, in its first position, a first end stop for the rotation in the second rotation direction is formed, and, in its second position, a second end stop for the rotation in the first rotation direction is formed.

US12578167 - Scope turret

A riflescope with a scope body has a movable optical element defining an optical axis connected to the scope body. The riflescope also has a turret having an outer knob and a turret screw defining a screw axis and operably connected to the optical element for changing the optical axis in response to rotation of the turret screw. The riflescope also includes a zero-adjustment assembly contained within the turret and operably interfacing with the turret screw. The zero-adjustment assembly comprises a zero-adjustment disc and a locking collar disposed around a downward facing central shaft of the zero-adjustment disc. The zero-adjustment disc is contained in an upper recess of the outer knob. The locking collar has a first position in which the zero-adjustment disc is freely rotatable about the turret screw and a second position in which free rotation of the zero-adjustment disc is prevented.
