[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 731800, member: 1521"] While anyone could expect as much from a startup like Vortex, You are flat out wrong about the workings of NF zero stops. NF does not use a spacer to stop turret turn. They use shoulders in radial contact, so that no tension is developed in the stopping action. [media=youtube]_j8uqfGqoW8[/media] When the elevation threads are very fine(they are) you don't need a pipe wrench to screw up your scope. Any common bolt of such fine & clean/lubed threading, and a head the diameter of a scope turret, will stretch/preload with mere hand tightening. Granted it's a relatively small amount, but very bad for scope internals(which are not as strong as common bolts). Trust me, you're not gonna find out anything good about sticking spacers under your turrets to 'stop' them. [/QUOTE]
