Sightron turret adjustment
Just wondering if anyone can help me out .
Trying to find out what tool i need to loosen the screws so i can adjust to zero.
I have tried down to a 1.5mm allen key but nothing seems to fit.
Not sure if they have their own tool for the job or nit so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers Bob

I'm sure it's one if those torx style keys that some scope mounts use. I think I have 2 different sizes in my shooting box. I can have a proper look tomorrow arvo after work for you if you haven't sorted it by then

I shoudl have aksed which model scope you had? All the SIII's i have are T20. I just notices you tried 1.5mm, that is no where near a T20.

Re: Sightron turret adjustment
Just tried the torx down to a T10 and it is too big, cant even get in the holes.
Just too clarify there are 3 small screws just underneath the top rim of the turret nit a single screw on top.

Re: Sightron turret adjustment
They are the model with turret caps. the MOA models have exposed turrets and a single screw in the top.
