I have a mid 2000's NF NXS 5.5-22x56mm Mildot scope (serial M03251). I'm the original owner. It came in a triangular box, but I can't find the box. It does not have zero stop. That's always been a bit of a pain. Sure, I could put tape on it to ensure it doesn't move in the case or in the field, but any time I want to click up, or have changed it in any way, it's always a guessing game remembering which graduations is zero. It's a mind-f$ck. There were people doing zero-stop conversions back in the day, but I can't find them anymore.
I'm considering just selling the scope and getting something newer with proper zero-stop and mil clicks instead of MOA clicks. I know it's a night force but it's also an older night force, so I'm not sure where things are at. I do have a 5.5-25 x 56mm Arken right now and it's pretty good, but I haven't had it long. The Nightforce is currently on a custom bolt action 243 Winchester and is mainly for sniping coyotes etc long range. I was planning to just stick with a 30mm scope. The 34mm Arkens are incredibly heavy and overkill in my opinion and I already have 30mm rings, so I might get one of the 6-24 x 50mm models. Opinions?
Also, if I was to sell it, what would it be worth. There are a couple of small ring marks from but it's extremely clean everywhere else and was mostly a safe queen. I also have Nightforce wings and badger rings, and NF 20 MOA tapered base I don't use now that I should probably get rid of. The scope is currently in Burris signature rings.
