I have a Nikon Black F1000 4-16 scope. Sight it in, lift up windage and elevation adjustment turret, turn until the ZERO (0) mark is aligned with the index mark, set turret back down. Now, if you turn the elevation turret for a longer or short shot, and are now done with that longer shot, you simply turn the turret until the 0 mark is once again aligned with the index mark, and now it's back to the original sight setting. Simple....
My problem is that the index mark ring on both the elevation and windage is loose, so recoil or even carrying the rifle can cause the index ring to move. While the scope is still sighted in, the 0 mark on the adjustment turret is no longer aligned with the index mark ring. There are no screws or anything that I can see to keep it oriented in one direction (towards the back of the scope). I'm trying to get Nikon to understand, but their tech support isn't getting it. They say the ring does not move. I even sent them pics. If you turn the turret upside down and gently tap, the index ring will even go up into the turret so that it is barely visible on the edge, it's that loose.
Anyone know what is suppose to hold the ring in place? Here's a couple of pics showing the index ring has rotated about 90 degrees. I've sent another msg to Nikon.
