NF Atacr 5-25 zero stop help

[nt7332]

Gen 2 atacr 5-25 sfp. Zeroed rifle and went to set zero stop. Removed cap and loosened 4 small screws and I only get about a 1/4-1/2 turn on the upper clutch in either direction Need a good bit more movement to actually get the zero stop tab to engage. Any ideas? Have had bunch of NF scopes and never seen this before.

on the newer Gen 2 ive noticed and also the nxs and NX8 that the clutch systems can be very snug almost like they wont move but in fact all that is needed is a little extra force to get it to go down to the stop! make sure you thumb the very top of the clutch system while you turn disc or it will move.

I noticed this the first few times adjusting my NX8.

I noticed this on a new ATACR 5-25, just had to use a bit more turning force than I was comfortable with, but then it easily turned into place. Have never had a problem with it since.

Copy fellows I will try it again after a few beers so I can get my courage up lol

They drive tent stakes with them. You will be fine.

Well I have tried about everything and I can't get it to move no farther than about 1/2 a turn. Think there is an issue.

Looks like clutch assembly has been backed out to much. Scope has 34 mils of travel right now so perhaps someone backed it out to far on stem. Will just have to send it back.

Call them before you send it back. Had same over adjustment once. There is a procedure to reset it where you turn it several revolutions, but I don't remember the exact procedure they had me accomplish. I think the procedure depends on how the scope is designed and all are not the same.

You tube!

 

[nt7332]

I look at you tube prior to asking any question here. Thanks though.

I had the same frustrating problem but when I gave up and just put it away and then took it to the range a few days later the problem had vanished... Go figure.
