Rifle Scopes night force illumination question

[Aimsmall55]

I just purchased a NXS 5.5x22x50 NF, and for some reason the illumination keeps turning on everytime i shoot. It is supposed to be turned on by pulling the focus turret away from the scope, any one have any suggestions before i have to get on the phone with night force.....

If the illumination does not have a click via a positive detent, there is most likely an issue. It should have a strong positive click when pulling it out.

If not.

Call customer service and get the RMA needed to send it back in for repair.

Both of mine have solid, positive clicks.
I think you need to make the call.

+1
both of my NF scopes require enough force to engage and disengage the illumination that it should be impossible for it turn on or off by itself.

It should be very positive and you should be able to hear the click.

I hear the click when "I" turn it on but for some damn reason it turns it on when I pull the trigger. Called NF but had to leave a message. Will report back when i hear from them

I have a multiple NF scopes and that definitely does not sound right. If you do have to send it in, take comfort that NF will take care of it and get your scope back to you in a reasonable amount of time.

I had one that did the exact same thing, it was worse on my light weight 308. Send it back, they will fix it. Which model do you have?

To get by temporarily I removed the battery.

It's the 5.5x22x50 Nxs mildot. Did those little screws in between the cap and the turret have anything to do with the problem??

STOP, it sounds like you are talking about the screws for the Zero stop, you don't want to start taking things apart, if you take the wrong thing apart you will have to send it in for repair. Do a little more research before you starting tearing into it,
Just saying.
