[QUOTE="Mikeir96, post: 904550, member: 76079"] Thank you so much Jeff for taking a stab at answering my question. My explanation was a little confusing so I will try to re-word it with hopes that it makes a little better sense. I had all the components of my weapon, including the scope, assembled by a Gunsmith. Nightforce rings were used on standard bases that his shop supplied, (and i confirmed the "thicker" base is closest to the shooter), and he fired the weapon providing me with a target demonstrating less than 1/4 MOA 3 shot group at 100 yards. When I took the rifle to the range myself, (after double checking his work with my laser bore sight, which did not require me to make any adjustments), I also shot a strong 3 shot group, dead on bulls eye. It was now time to set the Zero Stop, so I came home to set the Zero Stop. I pulled out the instruction sheet as to setting the Zero Stop and followed the instructions exactly. When it came time, however, to put the turret cover back on, I could not screw the set screws to hold the cover on, because INTERNALLY (under neath the turret cover) above the Zero Stop clutch and below the top of the turret cover, there was a void; open space that could not be closed no matter how hard (within reason obviously) I tried to push the cover down any further. I therefore put everything back to normal and tried to run through the exact same process again, only to find the same exact thing was happening over and over again. In looking at things, I soon realized that the only way to zero the scope in, (as it was assembled by the Gunsmith), is if the turret is turned up so high, that you can see at least 2, closer to 3 REVOLUTION LINES below the turret cap. I'm talking about the horizontal revolution lines that go around the turret body, that get exposed more and more the further up the turret cap is turned. In my case, since i have the new NXS, It looks like I have only 4 of those lines, and they are labeled 1-4. My thinking is that zeroing in at 100, that being my Zero Stop point, means my turret shouldn't have to be turned up so very high. If that is the case, then am I not losing all the scoping range BELOW that 2nd or 3rd Revolution Line since my zero would be stopped at the 2nd or 3rd revolution ring? [/QUOTE]
