Adjustment turret having stop pair for limiting or preventing rotational movement of a rotary control element

An adjustment turret for a long-range optical device comprising:

• a base;
• a rotary control element, rotatable relative to the base about an axis of rotation;
• a stop pair consisting of a first stop and a second stop, the stop pair capable of being positioned in a stop position limiting the rotational movement of the rotary control element;
• and
• a mechanism for overcoming the stop position of the stop pair, wherein, the mechanism comprises an actuating element accessible from the outside which bears or cooperates with one of the first or second stops, and in at least one rotational position of the rotary control element the actuating element can be moved relative to the base and relative to the rotary control element, so that by activating the actuating element one stop of the stop pair can be displaced relative to the other stop of the stop pair and the stop position can be overcome;
• wherein the actuating element can be rotated about the axis of rotation, and the adjustment turret comprises a mechanical coupling mechanism, the mechanical coupling mechanism coupling the rotary control element with the actuating element;
• and
• wherein the mechanical coupling mechanism is configured such that during a full rotation of the rotary control element about the axis of rotation the actuating element can be rotated by the rotary control element relative to the base only about a rotational angle which corresponds to part of a full rotation.
