You are going to love this scope! And the mount, I call it "clutched" The free to micro, as you put it, "snaps" into place. Just amazing!
Enjoy,

Thanks Steve!
Did you ever have an experience where the "clutch" slipped from micro adjust to free movement?
I have not yet disassembled the mount as it is currently operating very smoothly. It appears to me that there are two "bullet catches" on each side of the worm assembly. This would be like a ball bearing with a spring behind it sitting in one of two detents on the assembly. Curiosity may get the best of me and I'll take the mount apart to get a better look.
