Rifle scope elevation turret mechanism
First Claim
1. A scope turret configured to adjust a point of aim optics inside a scope, the scope having a longitudinal axis, the scope turret comprising:
- a dial assembly configured to rotate about a rotational axis that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the scope; and
an adjustable stop assembly configured to prevent the dial assembly from rotating in one direction, the adjustable stop assembly comprising a nut assembly selectively coupled to the dial assembly through an engagement mechanism, wherein;
the nut assembly is configured to rotate with the dial assembly while the engagement mechanism is in an engaged position,the nut assembly defines an internal open space and a first set of inside diameter threads with a first diameter and a second set of inside diameter threads having a second diameter that is different from the first diameter;
a traveler positioned at least partially within the internal open space defined by the nut assembly, wherein;
the traveler includes a first set of outside diameter threads configured to engage the first set of inside diameter threads of the nut assembly; and
a first set of vertical striations on an internal radial surface of the traveler, the first set of vertical striations configured to slidably engage a second set of vertical striations formed in a portion of the dial assembly.

Abstract
A scope turret including a dial assembly that is configured to adjust point of aim optics of a scope is disclosed. The turret may include an adjustable stop assembly that prevents the dial assembly from rotating in one direction. The adjustable stop assembly may include a traveler, a nut assembly, and a bolt. The adjustable stop assembly may be internally-adjustable or externally-adjustable. The dial assembly may include an engagement mechanism. The engagement mechanism may include a button that is slidable between an engaged position and a disengaged position of the engagement mechanism. The turret may further include a locking mechanism that selectively prevents the dial assembly from rotating in any direction.
