    Hi guys - was hoping to get a solution on an issue that I'm currently experiencing with the combination of using a NXS 12-42x power scope with a 20MOA unimount base on a 0MOA picatinny rail.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce 12 X 42 optics

    Re: Nightforce 12 X 42 optics np - glad to help ! One extra tip - I nearly learnt this the (very) hard way - if you do end up getting one don't fiddle with the allen key socket on the zoom ring - this holds the magnification ring in line with the gearing mechanism inside the scope - if you...
