[QUOTE="henschman, post: 2784480, member: 4235"] A zero stop is not the same as locking turrets. A zero stop just means that you can set your scope so that the elevation turret bottoms out at a particular zero (usually your 100 yard zero). That way you can quickly spin back to a known starting point and count revolutions/clicks up to whatever distance you need to take a shot at. The turret can still be inadvertently moved, and windage turrets hardly ever have a zero stop (it doesn't make much sense). Locking turrets on the other hand mean you can lock them down so they do not move at all, unless you release the lock. FYI those Vortex Viper PST scopes that were mentioned earlier have a form of zero stop (shims you can put under your turret), but do not have locking turrets. [/QUOTE]
