So, what you are saying here is don't be sucked into the vortex?

Does the turret change height as you dial up/down on that model VX6? Is it possible to fit a shim under the turret so it cant go down more than 1/2 a turn past zero once sighted in?

No it doesn't

No I haven't. Can I? Standard original VX6 CDS dial.

My vx6 has a 2mm peg not a bb but same theory, so I would be supprised if you couldn't

Iv been meaning to get me some from NZ asia (the leupold sorter outer) but have also been told you can just get a 2mmBB from your local engineering shop (mine were out yesterday but could easy have ordered them)

whip the turret off and there should be a slightly higher tab where the zero is on the scope side and a small hole in the underside of the turret

a 2mm BB goes in there and stops it at zero but yea limits you to one rotation (which is roughly 600m on my vxr fitted to my 7mm 08)

Ill pop one in mine eventually but seeing as my 20moa rail just went on today Im not looking to limit myself to one turn at the moment

The little ring with the tab can be "CAREFULLY" prised off and rotated if your turret doesn't line up with zero once the bb/peg is fitted to your turret. I had to do this to my vx34.5-14×40cds when I did the ball bearing zero stop mod. Feel free to ping me a message @Tahr if you have any questions. Pretty straight forward though once you see it

#9 birdshot is a fly shit over 2mm
