Redfield windage dial no longer clicking

[Jmassecar]

I picked up a new Redfield scope for a good price. Went to zero it in and it seems that the windage dial does not click. It seems to move fine, but I dont know how far I'm moving it without the clicks. I've just been kind of guessing. Does this mean there is something wrong with the scope's ability to hold zero? My concern is that if it's just an issue with convenience, I'll let it go for now as I don't think I'll have time to send it away for warranty, get it serviced, zeroed again and practice before deer season. What are your thoughts? Thanks.

I would get it fixed. otherwise I would always be wondering if the zero would hold or shift.

To go hunting with a scope you're unsure of is false hope.
Spend some time at the range to determine if it will keep zero.

Thanks guys. Anybody know how quick they can turn around a warranty job? I'll give the store a call and see what they say.

Don't they have small cogs on the outside dial with a finger that slips into the notches?
Is the center screw tight on the rotating knob?
Photo of said problematic area?

This is the knob that's on there.

Just keeps spinning....it does move the cross hair though, just no 'click' to the dial.

That's kind of different. Does it lift up or push down so you can "0" it?

 

[Jmassecar]

No, it doesn't appear to be removable so you can 0 it or anything.

I called Korth group. They told me to send it to them and they'd sort it out. Apparently it should be a quick turnaround. I hope so, because I want to get this dialed in, find out what ammo I should be using, and make sure I'm 100% confident for deer season. It's coming sooner than you think!
