Polar t96 zero stop- reserving after engaged

[25 Sharps]

Evening all.


I have a t96 with the lockable, bdc turrets, I have zeroed and set the scope up as the instructions. Zero stop now gives me 2 clicks below ‘0’. I want to change my poi so it is 4 clicks lower, how do I disengage the zero stop?

The instructions say when you loosen the screws you can hear the clicks but no adjustment is made. So I am at a bit of a loss!

I have a T96 with lockable elevation and windage turrets. It is a weird system and you certainly need some faith when loosening the grub screws to reset the zero but it does work. Unless you have run out of elevation but that is unlikely I would have thought, as I expect you have mounted it all up correctly.

I have the same scope. I Do the same when shifting between a suppressor and a muzzle brake (4” drop of difference). Undo grubs, lift and rotate turret to desired point, drop down re screw grubs- you have more/ less clicks as required.

Thanks. Have just adjusted down, will have to get out and check on paper to see if it’s done the trick.

Doesn’t seem a great system, how do you mechanically centre the reticle?

First time using it, I don’t think I did . Just fired a large target and adjusted as needed. It took a while before I got my head around the adjustment. You tube video helped and then trial and error. Haven’t had an issue since, always goes back to zero when your remember setting.

Basically with my Schmidt I always remember for up you dial then loosen screws and zero and tighten…. for down you loosen screws then dial then tighten and zero. Weirdly they sort of click with the screws loose but they do adjust. My top tip is use a t8 star drive not a 2mm Allen which can round the grub screws which is a major pain to replace on mine a ultra bright

Seems to have worked thanks fellas @Utectok & @doric_prince

I just removed loosen turrets first for down…. I still have to think about it. :/

Well if I miss the sika next week it’s me not the rifle, 3x .284 Yew tree HP on the right and one Ali tipped on the left to double check poi against the HP.
