One thing I cannot find as of yet is....does it have a zero set where you cannot back the dial beyond zero??
Thanks in advance

When it comes to dialing, tracking, returning to zero, and doing so time after time through any and all conditions of use, IMO very few scopes compare to NF in this department.
Which specific model NF are you looking for?

If it has the zl2 or zl3 elevation dial it will have a stop and lock at zero. I believe toy can push the button and go a few clicks below zero also (i know you can on mark5hd, but not positive on vx6)
My vx6 locks in at zero and will not go backwards even with the button pushed. Just tried it

In all fairness you did have a disclaimer in there :chuckle:

I did have to send my 7-42 in for turret repair. I don't think the turrets are a as durable as nightforce or even the Mark V. If you are dialing hundreds or thousands of shots a year I personally am skeptical but for a hunting scope they have been good for me.
I got a Mark 5 for target shooting and think its turret erector system is a little beefier but scope is 5 ounces heavier too.

I also need tougher than nails..... These rifles and scopes see dust, grip, grime, cold, hot, wet, snow......well you get the picture. :tup:
Taking all that into consideration, I'd trust a NF over just about any other. Not saying NF is the end all be all of scopes but when it comes to toughness, tracking, and repeatability, NF is second to none.
