A "zero stop" rifle scope adjustment mechanism that allows a user to establish the "zero point" at any point in the scope range, and still maintain ¼ minute clicks and with unlimited rotations of the adjustment knob. The mechanism includes a T-shaped adjustment bolt that is vertically aligned inside an adjustment body fixed in position on the turret of the rifle scope. The adjustment body includes a small threaded central bore to which the adjustment bolt is attached. The adjustment body also includes an upward cavity with splines formed on the inside surface. When assembled, the threaded upper section of the adjacent bolt extends above the top surface of the adjustment body. Disposed longitudinally and locked in position over the threaded upper section of the adjustment bolt and around the adjustment body is an index dial. Attached to the threaded upper section that extends above the index dial is a stop ring and a lock ring that are selectively locked together on the upper section of the adjustment bolt. A tab element is formed on the top surface of the index dial body which is engaged by a complimentary-shaped tongue member of the stop ring which locks the index dial body and stop plate together to prevent further downward rotation of the stop plate over the body. An outer cap is then longitudinally aligned and inserted over the stop ring, lock ring, index dial, and the adjustment body. The outer cap includes locking screw which when tightened, is forced against the lock ring to lock the outer cap thereto.
