Re: NightForce zero stop issues.
I called cs and inquired about buying a 5.5-22x50 NXS w/ZS & high speed turrents. I was told I should steer clear of ZS due to the issues they are having with them. I didn't get the guys name I talked to but I just thought it was odd I hadn't heard about it yet. He wasn't specific on the issue but I figured if they were having issues you guys would know.

Who is "cs"?
Are you talking about customer service at Nightforce?

Re: NightForce zero stop issues.
That is very interesting. We haven't had an issue with any of our zs models that we have sold. I wonder what issues they are speaking of?
Btw we are located in Hammond if you want to come by the shop and check out our inventory.

Re: NightForce zero stop issues.
Chris that's a great idea. Do you guys have that model in stock? Specifically with a NPR2 or Velocity recital?

I own three and haven't had the slightest problem with the ZS brother.

Re: NightForce zero stop issues.
We should have a bunch of those in stock. I don't remember inventory numbers off of the top of my head, but that model is extremely popular and I would venture to say that we have an abundance of those.
I'll check in the am when I get to the office and I'll shoot you a pm.

Re: NightForce zero stop issues.
Hope CS Tactical posts their reasoning here - I have heard of NO problems with the ZS from NightForce!!

Re: NightForce zero stop issues.
There have been no reported problems of Nightforce ZeroStops to date. Someone is providing false information.

The only problems I've heard of were when people didn't follow the instructions.
Don't remove the ZS screws and don't over tighten them. Simple enough but.....

Re: NightForce zero stop issues.
I've sold a tons of Nightforce, and i've also hunted nightforce for the past several years. i've updated my scopes as they have changed, most recently from a non high speed to a high speed. the only issues i've seen was when one of my customers took the zero stop off and once when another customer removed the 4 screws from the zero stop (your just suppose to loosen them). these scopes are rock solid and quality control is extremely high. it's a really beefy system.

Re: NightForce zero stop issues.
I think Steve hit the main issue. There are some who walk among us that think just because they have the technical male savy to open a can of coke, they automatically can "figure out" all things mechanical without reading instructions. I know first hand as I have some products that are simple but are shipped with instructions. 99.99999% of issues brought to my attention are caused by the above. Maybe CS has been having to deal with those types lately and, not knowing the complete details waived you off of the feature?
I have some NF with Zero Stops. Two of them are constantly, and I mean all the time, being moved from one rifle to another and loaned out. Everytime they hit the top of a new ride, the ZS and both turrets get reset. When we do a demo we also go through this to demonstrate the feature and show that it is not something to be intimidated by or scared of.
The turrets on my NFs, especially the elevation actually show wear from all the fingers and gloves that have molested them in their short lives but they keep on clicking and delivering every time. I must add that such subtle wear marks are highly attractive to the opposite sex and most other male shooters secretly are turned on by it.
I encourage you to make very sure you get the ZS feature if you purchase a NF. If you are through this way, you are welcome to contact me in advance and I can show you the procedure. Takes maybe 3 minutes for the whole walk through.

just echoing what terry said here, i would always invest in a zero stop. sounds like your rifles and scopes get the same treatment as mine, which really says something. i need to see you about one of your sentinel stocks, heck maybe a whole rifle one of these days

Re: NightForce zero stop issues.
Not a single problem with my NightForce NXS 5.5-22x50 ZS HST scope.

Re: NightForce zero stop issues.
To clarify the issue. We (CS = CS Tactical) have NOT hand any issues mechanically with the NF 0-Stop turrets MOA or MRAD. We have been having issues getting the MOA 0-Stop from Nightforce. The issues is due to NF inventory of the MOA 0-Stop and the demand. All the NF MRAD scopes come with 0-Stop Elevation so NF only need to stock one type of elevation turret for the MRAD scopes. NF offers MOA in 0-Stop and none 0-Stop so they have to stock more parts for the MOA scopes.
Hope this helps.
