[acts238]

I have 2 Nxs scopes both 5-22
one has ZS
one don't
both were bought used
the one with ZS don't have lines under the elevation turret
the older one does and all the pics I find of ZS models do also
am I missing a part , on the ZS model or ?
any help appreciated

Give C/S a call at 1-800-732-9824 or email at [email protected], especially with serial numbers and pictures if you can access them.

NXS had the option of Zero Stop or Non Zero Stop model. Sounds like you bought 1 of each.

Have you tried the night force optics web site? On the site select your scope and then select the 360 degree view.

I sent detailed pics to NF in a email stating the issue
I got an answer today per Robert at NF the scope was made in 2009 and he said
I ask out techs they said there as a short period of time then that We didn't put elevation buckets on them, as they were not available ,but if you send it in we can replace the turrets and add a elevation bucket for 400.00
Not sure I'm buying that answer because the same scope has a windage bucket , I have a older moa mil scope that has both elevation and windage buckets , and every pic I can find on the web shows both buckets, I feel like it was one of those make him go away answers , and I don't view NF warranty as I did before. It used to be great no questions ask to any owner, but now we'll, it is what it is
Maybe he is 100% correct , I don't know , but It doesn't seem like they would put what he called a elevation bucket , a few of lines under the turret to keep track of revolutions , on the windage turrets but not the elevation where it it more needed imho

I'll trade you a NXS 3.5-15X50 HS/ZS that has the elevation/windage bucket and beat Nightforce's price at $0.00.

Robert is right, he wasn't just trying to get you to go away, there was a short period of time when there were no rev lines under the ZS turret. I had an early NF 3.5-15 F1 with 5 mil per turn turrets and there were no reference lines under the elevation turret but there were under the windage. The windage knob is essentially the same part between ZS and non-ZS models which is why it was present but the elevations were all different. I guess the thinking was that if you got lost in your elevation adjustments just dial down to the zero stop and start over. I think they started showing up with lines under the elevation in 2010 when they came out with the High Speed turrets.
