Rifle Scopes Does anyone know what type of Nightforce turret this is?

[Loyal2no1]

I've purchased an older Nightforce NXS 2.5-10x32 which apparently has 100 MOA of adjustment, but I can only get 84 MOA/8.4 full turns. I'm unable to contact Nightforce (they aren't replying to emails/returning calls) to confirm if this is a Zerostop turret. I've looked online and unlike the standard NF Zerostop turret it doesn't have the 4 set screws. Instead it just has the one set screw.

Does anyone know what type of turret it is and how to adjust it (if you can)? I have a 25 ish MOA if elevation in my Burris XTR rings and my rounds are hitting about a foot high when the scope is bottomed out.

I think it works the same as the 4 screw versions....these were used on the 2.5-10x32 scopes.

Interesting. So to set a new zero would I need to loosen the single set screw and dial?

I think so......please confirm with Nightforce or a certified Nightforce dealer. (Don't want you to damage your scope)

Yes.

I assume you can’t get a zero at 100?

loosen the Allen head screw that runs horizontally in the top section of the turret and unscrew the turret (CCW I think) to give you more “down”, then tighten the Allen head. Set your zero at 100y. Pull the turret cap. Loosen the Allen again and screw the top disc down tight , then re-tighten the Allen. Put the turret cap back on set to zero. Very simple design, works like a champ. I set my zero stop .75 MOA under my 100y zero but I’m getting old and set in my ways....

If you have a 100y zero and have 82 MOA up, count your blessings and move on. There’s nothing wrong.

Cheers. And sorry for the late reply!
Eventually I contacted Nightforce Australia as NF USA weren't replying or even answering their phone So I'm going to say their customer service stateside sucks....
Anyway I loosened the turret screw at their request of the NF Australia technician and now instead of getting 86.5 MOA I now get 130+ MOA which is when I stopped dialing.... Yep. I could probably get more elevation and mortar rounds into Madagascar from New Zealand, but I didn't want to risk my scope flying apart. And at the end of the day I couldn't dial my crosshair any further upwards (sending rounds downwards) due to an indentation/stop in the turret stem. So long story short I took the logical thing and removed and then reinstalled my scope back in the Burris XTR rings this time with 0 MOA of elevation. Now the scope shoots POA/POI. Hey. I tried... Lol.
