Fixture for Measuring Backlash in Rifle Scopes
Fixture for Measuring Backlash in Rifle Scopes
Our team has worked with Nightforce Optics in prototyping a lead screw adjustment mechanism for verifying the accuracy of turret components used in rifle scopes. By incorporating this tool in the manufacturing process, more accurate bullet trajectories can be realized by hunters, service men and women, and law enforcement officers.
