really, I don't get the obsession with zero stops, it wasn't that long ago nobody new what one was. This scope is obviously targeted to the F class crowd. Where exactly would you set your "zero" for the zero stop? 100 yards?
90% of my shooting is at 1000 yards, but then there are days that I shoot Full Bore matches and I shoot 800/900/1000, and everyone gets unlimited sighters at the first range.
Nope, ZS adds weight and expense that's not needed. Look at the reticle choices for this scope. For a few years now the idea that NF made a "Bench Rest" scope has been a joke because no bench rest shooter in a class where weight mattered would hang one of these pigs on his rifle.
In F-class they have been the "go to" scope because they offered a great reticle (the NP-2DD), repeatable turrets, and variable power up to 36 or 42, but in recent years they have been losing market to March and Sightron. Especially F-TR shooters with the 18.1 weight limit running longer (34") tubes have been going to March to get weight reduction. Cost conscious and beginners are running Sightron. Sightron gives you pretty much what NF does at 1/2 the price, w/o the reticle but more magnification. March gives you what NF does at 2x the price but saves you about 7 oz with better glass and more magnification.
If NF had been on the ball they'd have made this scope two yrs ago. As long as it doesn't come with the price of a March, this is an F-TR dream scope. It should let you get to a 34 inch heavy palma and still have an adjustable cheek on your stock, and not have to mill out material somewhere on your stock to make weight. If it is priced like a March, then it better have glass better than anything else I've seen from NF to date or they've wasted their time.
