Abstract: A viewing optic has a base and a housing. The housing has a front side, a rear side, a left side, a right side and a top side. The front side, rear side, left side and right side extend upwardly from the base. The top side extends between the upper edges of the front side, rear side, left side and right side. A load absorbing/dispersing component is on at least a portion of the top side. The load absorbing/dispersing component comprises a load absorbing/dispersing material.

Abstract: A riflescope with a scope body has a movable optical element defining an optical axis connected to the scope body. The riflescope also has a turret having an outer knob and a turret screw defining a screw axis and operably connected to the optical element for changing the optical axis in response to rotation of the turret screw. The riflescope also includes a zero-adjustment assembly contained within the turret and operably interfacing with the turret screw. The zero-adjustment assembly comprises a zero-adjustment disc and a locking collar disposed around a downward facing central shaft of the zero-adjustment disc. The zero-adjustment disc is contained in an upper recess of the outer knob. The locking collar has a first position in which the zero-adjustment disc is freely rotatable about the turret screw and a second position in which free rotation of the zero-adjustment disc is prevented.

Abstract: A viewing optic is disclosed. In one embodiment, the viewing optic is a rifle scope having a scope body, a movable optical element defining an optical axis connected to the scope body, a turret and a zero point adjustment subassembly. The turret includes a turret screw, a turret chassis subassembly and a turret cap. The turret screw defines a screw axis and is operably connected to the optical element for adjusting the optical axis in response to rotation of the screw. The turret cap at least partially overlaps the turret chassis subassembly. The zero point adjustment subassembly includes a zero cap connected to the turret screw and a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism releasably secures the zero cap and the turret. The zero point adjustment subassembly permits adjustment of the zero point without the use of tools.

Abstract: A viewing optic has a housing having a front side containing an optical element, a rear side containing a rear cover, a left side, a right side a top side and top side. A control is positioned on the top side. The viewing optic may be a miniature red dot sight, such as a closed red dot sight.

Abstract: A case for an optical instrument is provided. The case has a body with a bottom and two pairs of oppositely disposed side walls connected to the body forming a cavity. The case also includes a lid having a top cover and two pairs of oppositely disposed side portions, each of which corresponds with and overlaps a corresponding side wall of the body when the lid is in a closed position. A first pair of the two pairs of side walls each includes an elastic chord which connects the given side wall to the corresponding side portion of the lid.

Abstract: A viewing optic has a texture on at least a portion of the front side of the viewing optic. The texture may be further provided on a portion of at least one of the rear side, left side, right side and/or top side of the viewing optic. The texture on the front side may be the same or different than the texture provided on any other surface. The viewing optic is designed to secure to the slide of a firearm, such as a pistol.
