First Claim
Patent Images
1. A rifle scope comprising:
- a scope body;
a movable reinforcing ring connected to the scope body;
a turret rotatably connected to the scope body;
the turret including a friction reducing element contacting the reinforcing ring at a location of contact, wherein the friction reducing element differs in hardness from the hardness of a portion of the turret to which the friction reducing element is attached; and
the friction reducing element being rotatable with respect to the turret.

Abstract
Rifle scopes with friction reducing elements include a scope body, a movable optical adjustment element connected to the scope body, and a turret rotatably connected to the scope body. The turret includes a contact element contacting the adjustment element at a location of contact. The contact element is rotatable with respect to the turret. The adjustment element at the location of contact differs in hardness from the hardness of a second portion of the adjustment element. The contact element at the location of contact and the adjustment element at the location of contact are of essentially equal hardness.
