Claim 3:
4. A rifle scope comprising:
a scope body;
a movable optical element defining an optical axis connected to the scope body;
a turret having a screw operably connected to the movable optical element for adjusting the optical axis in response to rotation of the screw;
the turret further having a first stop surface positioned for engagement by a stop element to limit rotation of the turret, such that the position at which the stop element engages the first stop surface defines a zero position of the screw and the movable optical element;
the turret further having a second stop surface positioned for engagement by the stop element to limit rotation of the turret, such that the position at which the stop element engages the second stop surface defines a maximum point of displacement of the screw and the moveable optical element;
wherein the first stop surface and second stop surface are connected by a channel;
wherein the channel defines a first transition and a second transition when the channel overlaps itself for the first time and second time, respectively; and
a rotation indicator coupled to the stop element that moves outward radially from the turret each time the turret is rotated.
