[QUOTE="MMERSS, post: 939915, member: 63748"] I have both and can’t say one is more reliable than the other for my purposes. For example, with the 32X NXS one will not have the elevation adjustment range compared to the 22X NXS (100 vs 65). The 32X equates to approximately 30 MOA elevation adjustment without an MOA mounted base. With a 20 MOA base one should have approximately 50 MOA of adjustable elevation. This leaves approximately 15 MOA of potential downward adjustable elevation. With the 20 MOA highspeed turrets I can’t dial past 0 more than once without bottoming out on elevation adjustment. I simple dial my scope down to where I start to bottom then dial back up to 0. This is practically the same principle as the ZS for my needs, just with about 15 more MOA required turning back to 0. With the 22X NXS you will have approximately 70 MOA adjustable elevation and 30 MOA downward adjustable elevation on a 20 MOA base. This would require spinning past 0 once before bottoming out. If you are aware of this, you simply spin back up past 0 once then stop on the next 0. Without a 20MOA base one would expect to spin past 0 twice before stopping at the next 0. This would be “quite abit of spinning” in my opinion making ZS worth the purchase. I do like the ZS on my 22X but in all practicality with a MOA base it’s not necessary for my needs nor justifies the extra cost. I’m not turning back to zero in the dark and it doesn’t take that much more time. For my 32X I do not see the advantage of ZS with an MOA base. Just my experience and observation. My choice for ZS is reestablishing 0. I can do the same without as explained above. For others they prefer ZS for additional reasons. [/QUOTE]
