Frequently Asked Questions

How do you test a rifle scope's turret tracking and return to zero?

A common method is the 'nipple twister' test. This involves making multiple adjustments to the windage and elevation turrets, then returning them to their original zero position to verify accuracy. The Hilux PR5 scope was subjected to this test to assess its reliability for ELR shooting.

What is the importance of a scope's return to zero feature?

A reliable 'return to zero' is crucial for precision shooting, especially in Extreme Long Range (ELR). It ensures that after making adjustments for wind or elevation, the scope can be reset to its original zero point accurately, allowing for quick follow-up shots or engagement of different targets.

What does it mean if a scope's turrets 'track' well?

When a scope's turrets 'track' well, it means that each click of adjustment corresponds precisely to the intended change in point of impact at a given distance. This consistency is vital for making accurate ballistic corrections and ensuring the scope's adjustments are predictable and reliable.
