Then found out the hard way when I lost zero and no idea how when I missed the biggest buck of my life at 150 yds 4 times. I had the zero stop set and i had to loosen that to get zero again :bash: I ripped that scope off and went nightforce and never looked back.

I don't understand? Zero stop is a must and should not have messed you up unless it was not set appropriately. My NX8 also has a zero stop and I wouldn't buy a scope with turrets that didn't.

Well any time you adjust zero on the y-axis with a V4 you should be resetting the zero stop, right?

No, unless I'm not understanding what your talking about. Like any zero stop you have to do a few things.....
1. sight in your rifle for Zero range...usually 100 yards but some like to do 200 yards.
2. set your zero stop to that zero
3. set your turret back to "0" which should be at the hard stop.
Once you do the above steps....they only time you ever have to change / set your zero stop again is if you have to re-sight in your rifle. If you dial to say....300 yards, then you want to come back to your zero stop / zero range....you dial back till it hits the hard stop.

Maybe my post was confusing lol zero stop was set 100yd zero, i shot a deer a week before here in washington and it was dead on. After I missed the buck in idaho I came home and went to the range and it was off 6". I never fell, gun wasn't dropped. I have no idea what happened but i wasn't happy with it. Scopes shouldn't just lose zero

Right, not talking about dialing back and forth. If he missed a buck because the scope was not properly sighted in and you have to adjust the elevation turret to get the scope zeroed, you have to adjust the zero stop...otherwise, it wouldn't stop at zero! I don't imagine anyone wants to dial backwards...though I have heard of people zeroing at 300yds.
Maybe using "zeroed" interchangeably with "sighted in" is confusing.
deerhunter - yeah I think we we're confused cause you seemed frustrated with having to remove the zero stop bucket to re-zero the rifle. Not just because the scope lost zero.
