Rifle Scopes Re: NF F1

[wIg SpLiTtEr]

So I got my F1 today and decided to double check its actual amount of travel. Turned it all the way in one direction and began counting clicks in the opposite direction. After finishing I realized I had came up with more adjustment than the scope is "supposed" to have. Now I'm wigging out, thinking I overturned the knobs... I did not have to muscle the knobs in either direction however there was a small bit of resistance on the far ends of the turn, last couple clicks to be exact". Do you guy's think this will/can result in tracking issues for me? Is there a way to make sure my scope is functioning properly?

Re: NF F1

They are very robust scopes, your scope should be fine!

Re: NF F1

You will be fine. The F1 will always have 110moa total at minimum.

Its not uncommon to get a little more. You probably had about an additional 4-5 minutes right?

Its always a good idea to verify that your turrets track on any scope. And as mentioned, try and run a box or tracking test at roughly 40 MOA which equates to 11.6 Mils.

Re: NF F1

Often times, though I am not sure this is the case with a Nightforce, scopes will have more clicks than adjustment because on the far loose end of the adjustment the screw will still have travel even though the erector tube has come to rest against the top or right of the main tube. This is the case with a Zeiss Conquest I have. It has quite a few more clicks than actual adjustment for this reason.

Re: NF F1

Nightforce scopes always have constant pressure on the erector assembly. There are physical stops installed that will not allow the turrets to adjust beyond the travel of the erector.

Re: NF F1

Now you got me wondering how much adjustments I have in my NF F1.
