An adjustment assembly having a rotary encoder, riflescopes incorporating the same, and related methods are provided. In one example, an adjustment assembly includes a first rotational component configured to rotate about an axis, a first gear coupled with the first rotational component and a second gear coupled with the first rotational component. The assembly further includes an encoder. The encoder includes a position gear engaged with the first gear, the first gear and the position gear having a 1:1 gear ratio, and a revolution gear engaged with the second gear, the second gear and the revolution gear having a gear ratio other than 1:1, wherein the gear ratio of the second gear and the revolution gear independent of a ratio of the respective diameters of the second gear and the revolution gear. Sensors may determine the rotational positions of the position sensor and the revolution sensors.

Riflescope adjustment systems

A scope turret including a dial assembly that is configured to adjust point of aim optics of a scope is disclosed. The turret may include an adjustable stop assembly that prevents the dial assembly from rotating in one direction. The adjustable stop assembly may include a traveler, a nut assembly, and a bolt. The adjustable stop assembly may be internally-adjustable or externally-adjustable. The dial assembly may include an engagement mechanism. The engagement mechanism may include a button that is slidable between an engaged position and a disengaged position of the engagement mechanism. The turret may further include a locking mechanism that selectively prevents the dial assembly from rotating in any direction.

Rifle scope elevation turret mechanism

A riflescope, a magnification ring for a riflescope and related methods are set forth herein. In one embodiment, a riflescope includes a main tube having an optical axis, an eyepiece, and a magnification ring associated with the eyepiece, the magnification ring being rotatable about the optical axis. In one embodiment, the magnification ring includes a collar rotatably coupled with the main tube and a rotatable ring disposed at least partially about the collar and being selectively positionable relative to the collar at a plurality of user-selected positions. The rotatable ring is releasably fixed to the collar at any of the plurality of user-selected positions. The rotatable ring also includes a protrusion extending radially from an outer surface of the rotatable ring.

Gun scope with battery compartment

A gun scope is provided having a battery compartment. The battery compartment may be configured to house one or more batteries to provide electronic power to one or more electronic components associated with the gun scope. The battery compartment is associated with a rotatable component, such as a magnifying ring, and configured to rotate with the rotatable component about an axis. In one embodiment, the battery component may be integrally formed with the rotatable component. In another embodiment, the battery component may be formed as a separate component and coupled with the rotatable component. The battery compartment extends radially outward from the rotatable component and provides a lever for rotation of the rotatable component about its axis of rotation.

A scope adjustment system includes a turret cap assembly, a saddle assembly, and a quick spanner assembly. The turret cap assembly includes a ring with a plurality of regularly spaced apart teeth residing circumferentially around the ring. The saddle assembly includes a transportation element in mechanical communication with a plunger. The saddle assembly includes a click element to engage the teeth of the ring. The quick spanner assembly includes a bolt that may be coupled to the transportation element, a cam lock hinged to the bolt, and a pressure plate residing between the bolt and the cam lock. The bolt can be screwed into the transportation element, and the cam lock can be set to apply a force on the pressure plate such that the transportation element engages the plunger. When engaged, the plunger is responsive to rotations of the turret cap to adjust, e.g., an aiming reticle.
