My job sucks......Frank I noticed in the picture you posted there were two scopes mounted on one rifle? Is that just my eyes playing tricks on me?
@Ultraman550
No, I just had scope sitting on top of the other for 30 seconds and snapped a pix

It is a Cadex, it is a Bergara, Our Barrels Make The Difference.. (Beragara ) build that I have been shooting, and is very good.
Bump for an update-I thought you would have received the mil version. Any updates you are at liberty to discuss?
Thanks,
J
You know what, I hadn't followed up, as I know the guys at NF went to Germany for their SHOT Type show a few days after I got the email.
Last word I had they were on track, I know the AI guys were shooting them at the Woody's Match.
But I will email them tomorrow

I've got another build about to start up and need these to be cranked out and caught up on backorders ASAP. Mil version please. Nf is loosing some civilian cash with the dates being pushed back so much but I'm good on optics. Really want to have one sitting on top of another setup ASAP though.

Optical vignetting is the better word you were looking for.

My Mil Beast shipped and will be here Monday, other than that i don't have any more updates, they did say a lot was going out, so not sure, but it appears they are moving.
This week at Gunsite we shot the AX338MC to 1 Mile and to 2200 yards with the BEAST
Not to get too off topic here because I'm incredibly interested in The Beast...But, was that photo taken with a Canon EOS? Still glass, just a different kind
Top Secret Camera Technology that I cannot disclose ... it's really amazing stuff used by people who support former Delta operators, or something close to that.
I'm out here busting my ass , dodging sim rounds from The School Of Tough Guys , and your up in the nice weather playing with Cory .
I HATE YOU .
I HATE YOU .
Looks like an iphone pic worked over with the Snapseed app to me.
Rather jealous that you were in Paulden.

What all came in the box? It looks like you had some nice scope caps for the scope just wondered if they came with it or if it was extra?
This would be exactly my luck for the BEAST to finally arrive while I'm getting GUTTED on taxes yet again. I guess I'll send the IRS a note explaining that they'll get paid eventually, but that priorities have to be maintained.
Lowlight, your thru the scope pic showed some very vivid colors and you remarked on sharpness. Is it possible that they have build it with an internal filter to block blue light. I ask because it reminds me of looking through a pair of the sunglasses they used to sell as blu-blockers. They killed glare sharpened color and appeared to sharpen the image.
Just a random thought.

No filters. Just the properties of hi-quality ED glass.
ED glass manages red, blue, and green as well as transmitted light extremely well. The result is an image of superb fidelity.

Yep the MIL-R BEAST was a long wait but it is very nice. Sharper focus than my Steiner 5-25 MSR and the turret/brake is very easy to operate. Great job NF!!

Damn that's a sight for sore eyes! No pun intended.
Update from Last Night
We are shipping the BEAST! The first shipments are inbound to dealers and will keep rolling going forward. It'll seem slow to some, but there are a lot of mouths to feed both here and internationally plus some military orders thrown in.
Also, we are rolling out with all of our other new for 2014 items (SHV, Competition, MOAR-T, clamp-on PTL).

Thanks for the update Frank!
What have you been using for mounts on the BEAST's you've tested? Any recommendations? I heard Spuhr didnt have anything for it yet.
A Spuhr TPAL will work, but I believe he is making a version specifically for the BEAST.
I have been using the NF Rings, they have added a host of new 34mm Rings so everything I have done with the BEAST has been with the NF Rings as they were supplied
NF BEAST with a SPUHR MOUNT
Nightforce has some big 6 Screw rings that are really nice that is what I am using for my Mil / Mil Version.

LL,
Now that you have had some time with the BEAST, are your inital assements still the same?
Would you reccomend people look hard at this before the S&B or Khales?

For many the S&B 5-25x is still gonna be the standard which everything is judged.
However when you are looking for a scope and when you consider the numbers, $$$ the BEAST is a better deal.
With Kahles, lowering the price you have an excellent option, I think the BEAST has an overall slight edge on the Kahles, not huge but features and options wise, you see where the cost difference is, with the S&B, you are looking at more money. So you have to justify that extra $500, $600 for the 5-25x. It's a lot harder to do when you compare the two.
I really like the BEAST, it's fast, intuitive, it's got the "pop" people wanted, it's got elevation, brakes, locks, fine tuning, really just a complete package.
If S&B kept the prices the same, you can flip a coin, but with the increases in their prices, it's a lot easier to just get the BEAST and move on on down the range.
