planning my next purchase and i’m seriously considering the nightforce nxs 4-15 for it. already have the 2-10 on another rifle and it’s probably my favorite setup. wondering if the 4-15 might be a bit too much. opinions?
I don’t think so. I have never thought to myself “man, I wish I had LESS magnification” when precision shooting.

I wouldn’t say it’s too much especially if the deal was right plus on a QD mount you can move it around too whatever rifle might fit your needs with the scope at that time

I run the F1 night force SHV and love it. Go for it.
Ok, can someone explain or send a video link to setting zero stop on F1 MIL MIL Nightforce SHV. I did it in the field on the fly while shooting and it worked but questioned myself. Was that too simple ?
Eurodriver, you out there ?
I pulled up PDF from their website and its different than my scope. It has to be the F1 mil mil scope.
I tried trusty you tube and my searchfoo sucked today. They usually show the NXS line that I can do in my sleep.
Any help appreciated.

Eurodriver lost it and banned himself for childish behavior.
To the OP, it depends on the AR15 setup, but I can think of configurations that a 4-15x50 would be suitable.
I’m asking about zero stop. Not the scopes utility for an AR. If a mod moved my post, it didn’t serve anybody well.
I’m needing info on specifically SHV, MIL MIL zero stop. Other SHV scopes might not apply. This thread is about scope power for AR’s.

Pappabear,
I have the same SHV F1 but in MOA. If I remember correctly all you do for the zero stop is loosen the allen screws on the elevation knob, align “0”, push down and tighten the screws again. It’s not a precise zero stop. Mine will still rotate about 1.5 moa below zero but that lets me know I’ve reached the bottom and I just dial up to zero and I’m good. I’ve found it to be very repeatable.
Hope this helps.
thanks for all who replied. i think i will go for it. i was initially worried about the weight, but i realize this scope is only about 30oz, which is in line with pretty much every vortex scope made.

BTW, yours is named ZeroSet not ZeroStop. It looks like the others are named ZeroStop and they look like they click to a hard stop right on zero.
The main thing you need to ask yourself is what the scope is going to be used for. If this is for hunting for something other than duty use, knock yourself out with as high of power as you want. It is nice to be able to zoom in when making long shots, but certainly isn’t necessary.
You probably aren’t clearing rooms or using that rifle in 3gun so by all means put it on there. If you’re punching paper, hitting steel, or varmint hunting go right ahead. For punching paper I’ve never said I wish I had less magification. When I’m doing accuracy testing I always wish I had a 4-16 accupower instead of a 3-9 accupower.
