A rotatable adjustment device for a riflescope or other optical device includes a drive screw that is threadably coupled to a rotating spindle and constrained so that the drive screw translates along the axis of rotation of the spindle. The adjustment device further includes a stop screw that also translates along the axis in response to rotation of the spindle until the stop screw contacts an adjustment stop to limit further rotation of the spindle in the first rotational direction. Lost motion is reduced or avoided by a compliant gap between the drive screw and stop screw.
