I wish mine had a Zero Stop!

I think Dale Clifford has a post here on how to make a zero stop on scope controls.

thanks for the compliment Duce, but Mike McDonald put a pretty detailed post up. basically he used cut tubing, as I recall, I just juse o-rings.  The zero stop is an option offered by nightforce, but my understanding is that they are pretty backed up.

I'll look into it.  I don't want to monkey with a gun that shots 3-inch groups at 600 yards. not too much anyway.

I'm an idiot, this we all know, so why not prove it once again:

 

I've read a few articles online taht seem to indicate all Nigthforce NXS scopes ahve buult-in zero stop, is this inaccurate?

 

I've had the scope for a few years, have looked it over many times, have looked over the instructions many times, and see no zero stop.  Then, I looked online and found guys saying that Nightforce NXS has zero stop and you use it by (many different version.)

 

If my Nightforce has zero stop, how will I know?  How do i set it?  Why the hell has someone not told me I have it before now?  Dammit!

 

 

Let me know if my scope (3.5-15x50 NXS) has it by default or if it is a "send back to factory' add-on.

 

Also, my Zeiss has been back at Zeiss for over a month for them to add a target turret to the elevation. If you decide to do what I did, leave lots' o time for them to have your glass.  As it is now, I have a great rifle that I can only shoot using the Force to guide the bullet.

I won't do the readers the disservice of taking down the last post - but I have spoken with Nightforce and the zero stop is an add-on ($180.00) to existing scopes.

 

And it is, for now, restricted to active duty military and LE, so you civiilians simmer down and wait your damn turn!

As you indicated this is an add on service by nightforce and they are backup. Also they can convert your turret to mil radian if you have chosen to get one of their reticles in mil-dot or equivalent and avoid the conversion step.
