Screw has about 5/8" dia. domed screw slot head. About a 1/4" long (about 1/4-20 thread). Holds the bullet compensation and/or elevation mechanism on the top of the scope. I called Bushnell and they laughed. If you have a scope more than 5 years old, good luck!!! The SAME screw is use on almost all their scopes. But Bushnell can't look it up cause it's too old. I'm thinking of telling them it's newer or another model (newer), except I do have the 6 digit model# for for newer scope. Excellent scope. I don't want to lose it, because of a 39 cent screw !!!!!!
Take it to a well stocked hardware store and see if they have a screw that will work.
Would you believe the exact same thing happened to me yesterday?
I just went on line to get part number for plastic part and this is what i see. Disappointed I am. So i will fix in my own way - If you have the old cap drill out the stem and leave a hole where the thread was and buy a "short" 1/4 20 bolt and nut and use to secure cap to scope - i.e screw in bolt thru cap and snub cap with locknut to grip bullet drop compensator ring. This assumes screw is 1/4 20 as indicated. If not Bushnell may be able to provide thread type or hardware store may have a range of bolts - pitch till you win - Some camera tripod screws are 1/4 20 with nerled nobs this may also work but you should be able to get er back better than new - paint the screw & nut black
I agree scope is too good to discard and was disappointed Bushnell was not more helpful
Let me know if this works for you - i have not done yet -

As I remember the scope came with a Lifetime Warranty and I have the same problem and no longer have the ..... receipt lol.
