Hunting scope for determining accurate trajectory of a weapon
First Claim
1. A variable power hunting scope having an objective and an eyepiece, a barrel intermediate said eyepiece and objective, said barrel carrying a reticle, a zoom assembly, a vertical cross-hair, a horizontal cross-hair, vertical and horizontal posts, and an adjusting ring for altering the magnification of said scope, wherein said scope includes locking means for interferring with rotation of said adjusting ring of a desired maximum magnification setting, said desired maximum magnification setting being less than the maximum magnification of said scope and greater than the minimum magnification of said scope.

Abstract
A variable power hunting scope has an objective, an eyepiece, and a barrel therebetween. The barrel carries a reticle, a zoom assembly, a vertical cross-hair, a horizontal cross-hair, vertical and horizontal posts, and an adjusting ring for altering the scope magnification. A locking mechanism interferes with rotation of the adjusting ring at a desired maximum magnification setting, the desired maximum magnification setting being between the minimum and maximum magnifications of the scope.

4. A variable power hunting scope having an objective and an eyepiece, a barrel intermediate said eyepiece and objective, said barrel carrying a reticle, a zoom assembly, a vertical cross-hair, a horizontal cross-hair, vertical and horizontal posts, and an adjusting ring for altering the magnification of said scope, wherein said scope includes locking means for preventing said adjusting ring from rotating past a desire maximum magnification setting;
- said locking means comprising an annular ring which rotates freely on an externally threaded body fixedly secured to said barrel adjacent said adjusting ring and an internally threaded lock-nut which screws against said annular ring on said body to rotationally secure said ring in place, said annular ring having a finger thereon which interferes with the rotation of said adjusting ring when said ring is rotationally secured in place by said lock-nut, thereby limiting the maximum power to which said scope may be set.
