A device is provided for establishing or releasing the coupling between an adjustment ring, which can be rotated on a base element by way of a detent mechanism and is provided with an adjustment shaft for optical elements, and a cylindrical index ring, which is inserted between the adjustment ring and the base element so as to rotate in relation to an index mark provided on the base element, wherein an inwardly directed ring surface is integrally formed on the edge of the index ring pointing toward the adjustment ring, at least one friction element under spring pressure is inserted between the adjustment ring and the ring surface, and the spring pressure can be removed by way of a pressure element inserted into the top face of the adjustment ring or by way of a lever mechanism.

Various embodiments described herein may include a turret including a rotatable drive device having a length arranged along an axis that is 1) non-coincident with an axis of rotation of a spindle or a knob, the non-coincident axis 2) spaced apart from the axis of rotation; the rotatable drive device rotatable from a first position to a second position, and arranged to: in the first position, cause the spindle and the knob to rotate together as a unit, and in the second position, disengage the knob from the spindle to allow the knob to rotate relative to the spindle. In various embodiments, the knob or other second rotatable part exposes the rear end of the rotatable drive device or a lever or other user interface coupled to the rear end. Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.

A device for supporting scopes, such as telescopes, holographic, laser, red-dot aiming systems, etc., for rifles equipped with rib, is described. The device comprises a body, on which the scope can be fastened, and a plurality of claws slidably mounted on the body. The claws are movable to be opened and closed in response to the displacements imparted by the user to corresponding thrust elements, through a special adjusting grub screw. The body has a longitudinal axis which is aligned with the optical axis of the scope mounted thereon each time. The displacements of the thrust elements take place along the longitudinal axis, while the displacements of the claws take place toward and away from the longitudinal axis, in a direction orthogonal thereto. The device is self-centring, meaning that the claws are closed on the rifle rib, so that the latter is always aligned precisely on the longitudinal axis.
