I have an older 2.5x10x32mm compact coming. This one does NOT have the zero stop. My question is can one use the rubber washer trick under the elevation cap (like the SWFA's) to make his own poor man's zero stop?

Any help would be appreciated.

Capped or covered turrets? I had one of those I used for a few years. I replaced it because the glass frankly sucked. I am not a glass snob but it was really not good in clarity. Perhaps my sample was unique.

I replaced that scope. With huskemaw and Zeiss v4 and pocketed 300 bucks and got zero stop turrets, and way better glass. The rest of the nxs line has great glass for me.

That looks uncapped to me, what am I missing? Either way they run a clutch system which would make the washer trick difficult.

I think CC meant capped versus exposed, but one never knows. That’s clearly exposed.

those are exposed turrets, it may have a zero stop under the turret. those domed caps might have one. have you looked under it?

In the nxs series if the turrets caps are domed and have 2 set screws securing the cap (at 0 and 5 on your turret) then it has a zero stop. Have yet to see a domed turret without ZS,

That said based on the pictures and the spacing of the numbers on the turrets makes me believe it to be an early non high speed turret model with zero stop.
