[QUOTE="Brent, post: 14366, member: 99"] Fatboy, I have the same problem with my new NXS 5.5-22. The 89 MOA is a far cry from 100. Come on that's way off. I cannot believe they even passed QC like that. Every other scope I checked so far has 100 moa exactly in the 5.5-22 model so I'm a little dissapointed to say the least. I left a message for Jeff at Nightforce last wednesday but got no call back yet. Another message left Friday so I'll let you all know how this is handled, I'm not happy and don't think I'll be happy until it's corrected for the price I paid. The windage was off in the neiborhood of 10% too. That extra 10 moa is worth over 100 inches at just 1000 yards and that's part of the reason I went with it over their 8-32 or a Leopold. We'll see if they have Leopold like service or what. I'll mention your 13 moa shortage too, I figure about $12.00 per moa is what we're paying for these so....... I will say they are tough. My brothers flew 6 feet behind him landing in the gravel when his old style Leopold QWR ring crossbolts broke on recoil. The 50 BMG was too much. His new Max 50 Badger Ordinance rings got here last week. Also does anybody know how a scope would stick 1 moa off like Fatboys appears to have done and upon firing finally click into place? Is there even more than one reason this could happen? I knew calibration could be off and mounts could offer less than repeatable conditions. [/QUOTE]
