Elevation knob gearing wrong. - SIG SAUER Tango6 4-24x50mm Rifle Scope, w/Illuminated Reticle

Bought to use on a backup long range rig. First let me say the glass is pretty good, I like the Dev-L reticle, illumination is very bright, and I applaud Sig for putting technology in the product, the leveling indicator is a very nice feature. Fit and finish looked pretty well, packaging is nice. The manual could have more detail in it. It’s heavy but so are other scopes in its class.

Where the scope fell short and never even made it to the range was that the elevation turret would not lock without it being rotated past the “click”. I tried going through the zeroing and zero stop process etc. thinking something was probably just loose etc. However, everything seemed tight and right. Basically with the knob unlocked you could dial say to 5.0 mils, but if you wanted to lock the knob you had to dial half way to 5.1 mils or 4.9 mils. The windage knob was fine, you dialed to a click and it locked without messing with it. My guess is gearing knob that makes the adjustment is out of time with the gear that locks the turret.

To me having to rotate a turret past a click setting to get the turret to lock is a defect.
