I've been looking on the wonderful internet and haven't seen anything and the guy behind the counter of the big box store seemingly knew nothing about..... well anything so I'll ask here. In the Leupold Freedom line of rifle scopes is there anyway to "lock" your elevation adjustment or cover it with a cap to prevent it from rubbing on your pack or whatever and unknowingly changing your elevation adjustment?

I hunt close quarters in steep hills and thick brush that has me on all 4's with the rifle strapped to my pack or stand. I like the reticle style for playing at the range (500 max) but will likely never use it in a hunting situation where most of my shots are within 75 yards. Having a turret that I can hang on a greenbrier vine and knock out of adjustment is definitely a deal breaker for me.
