Rifle Scopes NXS -removed Turret...oops!

[picone]

So I went to zero my NXS elevation turret for the first time and pulled it all the way off. Has anyone done this? Is there a pin that goes in it that I am now missing?

???

put it back on and just tighten down the screws you loosened.

Only one screw. No clicks now.

Did you tighten the screw in? Unless tightened the knob will just spin.

Probably not as simple as your set screw was loose and you just pulled the cap off...................need a little more info?

Did you loosen the brass screw (w/ a slotted screwdriver) that is in the center of the turret (this would be under the turret)? Or the small allen set screw that just holds the turret on?

Did you hold the turret down as you tightened the set screw?

I consulted a nice fellow at the range and he said to just tighten the set screw more. I did and was able to shoot the remainder of the day. No issue. Turned into a great day shooting.

I did NOT loosen anything under the cap. When you pull the turret off, it sure looks like a little pin is supposed to go in there, but I couldn't figure out how it would actually work. seems the set screw is all that holds it on and you need to tighten it enough to divit the brass a slight bit. I'm gunna call nightforce to confirm. Thanks all.
