Leaving inspection stickers and red zero stop caps on Nightforce scopes

Key and Peele made the perfect video that describes this.

What in the world are people thinking? Do you leave the invoice stuck on the window of your vehicle for years as well?

Common Man!!!
Dont you know!
If you take the sticker off the optic looses 75% optical clarity, tracking goes to hell and
The internals go from Mil to Moa.

The caps protect my fingers from the sharp edges.

I never understood why people left the cap on, I thought they had some special order NF that wasn't available to everyone

its almost as stupid as the idiots that leave the yellow protectors on their dodge's

The clear next step would be to keep the McMillan print out with the stock specs taped to the side, maybe shoot some clear coat over it, so it lasts forever.

I tossed the cap on my Nightforce cap. Wish I would’ve saved it. I frequently open the bolt and the brass flips up and hits the windage cap which in turn often leaves a small ding in the brass. Tried to order one and Nightforce said they no longer have them. Ended up putting several wraps of electrical tape on it.

I thought id be the only one on the shooting site to make the correlation

This is their transportation. It stays on a trailer with the cover to preserve the resale.

There is a zipper on the back so they can get the rifles out.

Your not supposed to remove the big sticker off the butt stock of a new Savage rifles either.

Does NF put them on to record all the return for repairs ?

If I trailered an XK around, I'd do the same.

OH MAN!
I thought that sticker was so the front from the rear of the scope!?
And the purpose of that red ZERO-STOP cover is to protect your manly NF scopes from certain sexually transmitted diseases and "accidental discharges".

 

[Nick Caprinolo]

Check your new mattress. Against to remove stickers. Same on furniture. Are they kidding????

To me the plastic red cap on my elevation knob is sign of prestige: Look, I've got a NF Competition riflescope! (I've even purchased extra red caps for my NXSs and BRs .)

I traded a SVSS ED 10-50x60 Sightron for a Nightforce comp 15-55x52 FCR-1 and it didn't have the extra knobs or the red zero stop cover. I tried to get the cover from Nightforce but they are discontinued now. They did send me the extra knobs free of charge. Awesome service from Nightforce! I put a wanted ad on here and finally found a red zero stop cover. It didn't make the scope work any better of course but I wanted it just because it was included in the original purchase of the scope and wanted everything that came with it. Stickers, red cap, tools, CD, extra knobs and the lens cleaner. I have 4 of these scopes because they are a great scope and if I decide to ever sale them I think having all the items that came with the scope will have a better resale value. I did take all the inspections Stickers off the scopes so they might not be as accurate anymore. Lol

Sometimes I put the caps on all three knobs.

It helps protects the scope from bumps, bruises, and wear.

Alf, where do you buy your caps?

I stole them from my other Nightforces, and painted them.

This sounds like a question by someone who accidentally messed up their nightforce inspection sticker, and had to go ahead and peel it off. I’m sorry, man.
