Question: S&B Klassik 4-16x50 BDC elevation turret?

[Ray B]

I have this scope and the elevation knob has less than on full turn (0-30). The owners manual says the BDC is easily used with a coin in the slot, but no further instructions. Anyone have an S&B BDC scope and know how it works? if so, please reply.

The coin slot should be to reset your turret back to zero once your scope is zeroed to your rifle. I can't remember if that model has zero stops or not. It might, that could possibly be the case. All in all that line does not have a lot of internal adjust 12-15mils is what I want to say.

@Ray B Can you post a picture of the turret?

Should me in Mils, so you have 30 clicks of adjustment in your elevation turret which equals 3 mils (.1 mil clicks). The coin slot is for setting your turret to zero once zeroed.

Attached are photos of the elevation turret. The knob marked in 0 - 30 turns but the coin slot also turns with the knob and does not turn independent of the knob.

Hold knurled part of turret then unscrew coin slot. Allows you to reset for zero.

I have tried that and twisted on the coin as hard as I dared without breaking something. Is the coin slot threaded counter clockwise to loosen?

Might help

I e-mail talked with Jerry Ricker of S&B customer service USA and he led me through the process. the basic problem was insufficient description of the feature in the owners manual and a slotted screw that was so tight that it took a nickle help by lock pliers and a lot of torque to loosen it. Once off, with Jerry's explanation of the parts and process it was easy to move the reticle to the desired position.

Yes they are very tight indeed!
