Click to expand... That's what I ended up doing for my initial sight-in. The 'key' ended up being in the same bag as the lock, which I didn't bother to open before taking rifle out to shoot. The MOE's are spring loaded so you just push down on the collar surrounding the post. I always take a few tools along when I shoot, luckily.

I didn't realize they were all basically universal. Thanks again.
