This video demonstrates testing the zero stop functionality of the Vector Optics Continental X6 2-12x44 rifle scope. The instructor performs a series of shots at 90 yards, adjusting the elevation turret and then returning to zero to verify the accuracy of the zero stop. The results indicate that the zero stop is functioning accurately, with shots landing close together after returning to the set zero.

Quick Summary

The Vector Optics Continental X6 2-12x44 scope's zero stop was tested at 90 yards using Fio Range Dynamics 5.56 ammunition. The test involved adjusting the elevation turret upwards and then returning to zero. Results showed the zero stop to be accurate, with shots landing close together after returning to the set zero.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the zero stop on the Vector Optics Continental X6 2-12x44 scope tested?

The zero stop is tested by first establishing a zero point. Then, the elevation turret is adjusted upwards by a set number of clicks, and shots are fired. Finally, the turret is returned to the zero stop to see if the point of impact returns to the original zero.

What were the results of the zero stop test on the Vector Optics Continental X6?

The test indicated that the zero stop on the Vector Optics Continental X6 2-12x44 scope is accurate. Shots fired after returning to the zero stop landed very close to the initial zero point, even after making significant elevation adjustments.

What ammunition and range were used for testing the Vector Optics Continental X6 zero stop?

The testing was conducted at approximately 90 yards using Fio Range Dynamics 5.56 ammunition. The optic's parallax was set for 100 yards during the test.

What is the purpose of a zero stop on a rifle scope?

A zero stop is a mechanism on a rifle scope's elevation turret that prevents it from being dialed down past your established zero point. This is crucial for quickly returning to your zero in dynamic shooting situations without having to visually confirm the turret's position.
