Re: Nightforce zero stop,how can I tell
The zero stop models have sort of a domed elevation cap, instead of squared off and flat.
Domed zero stop

Re: Nightforce zero stop,how can I tell
Ok it has the dome shaped cap. Also the markings are far apart

Re: Nightforce zero stop,how can I tell
As mentioned, look for the domed shape elevation turret.
On the markings, the older Nightforce scopes only had 10 MOA or 5 Mils per turn, while the newer "hi-speed" models have 20 MOA or 10 Mils per turn.

Re: Nightforce zero stop,how can I tell

Re: Nightforce zero stop,how can I tell
you will enjoy. It will be an illuminated reticle as well. I have the zero stop as well, but my cap looks different from the picture in the link provided by Pyplynr.

The only thing I don't like is the green. I guess I will get it re coated with tan

Re: Nightforce zero stop,how can I tell
One of the easiest ways to tell if you have the ZeroStop is how many screws hold the turret cap in place. The ZeroStop turrets utilize two opposing set screws. One at "0" and one directly opposite at "5" or "10".
Non-ZeroStops only have one set screw at "0".

You can remove the paint also. I did mine this weekend, it was easier than I thought.

Re: Nightforce zero stop,how can I tell
I have stripped a painted scope using acetone (carefully). Have also used that Orange gel paint stripper from Home Depot. Keep whatever you use off the glass, though if I recall correctly USO suggests acetone as a cleaning fluid on the glass on their scopes.
