Nightforce Compact NXS 2.5-10 x 32 with zero stop

[bowji john]

Formerly Dave Green's scope - this zero stop illuminated scope (boxed) has sat on my .223 and is now on my 6.5 x 55

 

Not really suited to the 6.5 and as I have open sights on my .223 I would like to replace it for a scope with a larger objective for stalking

 

As far I can tell it is in excellent condition

 

£850 plus postage

Hi John.

 

Is your NSX still available?

 

Thanks

Hi John

 

It is but I was adjusting the zero stop on the weekend and am struggling to re tighten the clutch.

 

My eyes are not up to the task of seeing whether I've rounded the grub screw or have sheered it - can't see it properly even with a magmifying glass

 

So at the moment I can't claim that it is faultless

PS

 

Anyone else had a similar problem or suggest a solution?

[john0108]

Lol sounds like the kind of thing I would do.

Does this mean that the zero stop is just not locking or is it stopping it from adjusting?

[bowji john]

The turret works fine

 

Still holds zero fine and the 'come ups' too.

 

I 'boxed it' - i.e went 15 clicks up, 15 left, 15 down and 15 right and it returns to zero

 

Just wont stop at the zero-stop position as the clutch is rotating free

 

Should be an easy sort out but need someone with some experience of this

 

Can anyone out there help?

Not sure which screw your referring to.... This may help. https://youtu.be/_j8uqfGqoW8

Thanks Biggles

 

I have a slightly different version where the alan screw is inset to the side of the upper clutch assembly - it is slightly recessed into the turret which makes it hard to see

 

Might be a 'back to Nightforce' jobbie !

For information ....

 

Contacted nightforce about my broken grub screw on the zero stop

 

This was the response...

 

Based on your description of what you heard and felt, it may be that your screw broke as you are concerned.

If that is the case, the best option is to send the optic in for a warranty repair.

To have any services performed, please contact a Nightforce Optics customer service representative at (208) 476-9814 to schedule the service and receive a Return Merchandise Authorization number (RMA). An RMA must be processed prior to performing any services. When calling, please be prepared to supply your personal contact information and the nature of your request, to include the optic configuration, serial number etc. Lastly, we ask that all service optics are sent in with a Factory Service Form. This form can be downloaded and printed from our website under the Downloads link, www.nightforceoptics.com.

Please let us know if we can be of additional assistance

Respectfully,.......

Not bad considering I bought this second hand .

Hi John,

I would like to buy the scope from you subject to a quick chat to clarify the Zerostop issue.

I'm not worried if I have to send the scope to Nightforce myself.

Please contact me ASAP.

My number is 07788 742913

Thank you, Justin
