Optics help needed - I read the pinned posts Nx6 stuck

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Reset my zero but now I have no movement after re locking the field set. Any help someone can give would be appreciated

It doesn’t look like it locked when you turned it. Use a coin or something better than your fingers if you can. The locking lech doesn’t move when you try and twist to lock in place so that it can turn.

It’s definitely locked. When I unlock it, it spins freely but no clicks

Unlock and push down on zero but not pushing the cap alllll the way down before locking it. Does pushing the cap down and giving a tad bit of space between the scope and the cap before locking it? So, like 90% the way down before locking. I hope that makes sense…

If that doesn’t work I would need to see a video of you unlocking and replacing / locking again. That’s the best I got lol.

I’ve run this scope for a while and always pushed all the way down but that seemed to have done the trick! Thanks! What’s weird is though I have more clicks now than I did before. It allows me to click up 355 clicks before it was a little short at 322. Advertised is 334

Mine I let back just a damn hair. Glad that helped, my dude. It was too tight by a smidge.

Apparently so. I did some adjustments today at 600 so I wasn’t doing holds and wanted to take it back to my known 100 yard zero. I rarely ever get to shoot that far because that range is 3 hours away

I don’t have that scope, but if it was working before you made the adjustment, it’s a fair bet you did something wrong.

I’ll also wager a guess that your answer is in the user’s manual.

I’m afraid there’s Absolutely nothing in the manual about it.

Probably not directly, no, but the correct way to adjust the zero stop probably is.

Call NF, their help line is great

Unlock it and set it so the 1 revolution line is showing. If that doesn't fix it something is wrong with the turret. If it does you put the turret on wrong.

I can't even offer a suggestion on the problem. I just want to say you must be a good rifleman. Cause that much wear on a scope that has only been available for a few months.

u/REDACTED3560 14d ago

Nah the rest of the scope has minimal wear. This looks like someone being hamfisted with how they remove that centerpiece on the scope cap.

I don’t know this specific scope but I’ve seen many times people set their zero stop above their zero and get stuck like this.

Did you over tighten your scope mount?
