Ballistic Stop: The Ultimate Return to Zero

The Ballistic Stop mechanism is a cornerstone of the LRP S3's design. After zeroing your rifle, this feature allows you to set a mechanical stop, ensuring an absolute and true return to your established zero, regardless of how many adjustments you make for long-range targets.

• Eliminates Confusion: No more getting lost in your turret revolutions. A positive, tactile stop at zero means you can always confidently return to your base setting, even in high-stress competitive environments or low-light conditions.
• Rapid Deployment: When transitioning between targets at varying distances, or if you need to quickly re-engage a closer target, the Ballistic Stop facilitates lightning-fast return to zero, saving precious seconds.
• Mechanical Integrity: This robust system ensures that your zero is held steadfastly, contributing to the overall reliability and consistency of your shots.

External Locking Windage Turret: Instantaneous Wind Management

Wind is arguably the most challenging variable in long-range shooting. The LRP S3's External Locking Windage turret offers a brilliant solution. It allows for quick, tactile, and precise adjustments for windage, while also providing a secure lock to prevent accidental movement.

• Quick Corrections: The exposed nature of the turret means immediate access for rapid wind calls. In PRS, where time is of the essence, this feature is invaluable.
• Security and Peace of Mind: Once a windage correction is set, the locking mechanism ensures it stays put, preventing inadvertent shifts during movement, transportation, or intense shooting scenarios.
• Tactile Feedback: Each click is distinct and audible, providing clear feedback that allows for precise adjustments without needing to take your eye off the target. The 0.1 MRAD click value offers granular control, essential for subtle wind shifts.
