    Comparative Review of NF ATACR 7-35 vs Razor Gen II 4.5-27 and S+B PMii

    I recently bought a new NF ATACR 7-35x56 F1 and so I figured I would see how it stacked up against the Vortex Razor II's I own and the venerable S+B Pmii. For those who like a longish read ( lots of pics tho ) I posted my thoughts here...

    Rifle Scopes Is there a clear winner for best glass?

    Own/owned or reviewed loaners of nearly all the Alpha Glass except Henny. In my opinion SB (PM II) TT and Minox (talking ZP5) stand out. NF ATACR ( 7-35 and 5-25 ) and 624i run them close and just a bit behind those are the Razor II and USO. Other owners and reviewers see things differently...

    What spotting scope for 600 yards paper

    Best chance is pricey - the big Swaro or Kowa 833 but as others have said once the mirage gets up that 600 is a very tall order.

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt vs NF vs Tangent Theta, what to buy

    I have the ATACR ( though I recommend Mil-C over Mil -R ) and the SB and I’ve reviewed the TT. In my view the TT is overpriced and comes with limited reticle choices. I’d take SB for pure glass over ATACR but the NF has other features that you might consider more important. I’d also recommend...

    Rifle Scopes IOR Recon 4-28x50 problems? Broken? Your experiences needed.

    The MR4 being more “Xmas tree” like will work better for holds which I think PRS folks will prefer. I do t shoot PRS so can only speak second-hand on this. My review will be up on Rifletalk.org next week.

    Rifle Scopes New kahles 525

    Really hope they improved QC - I had three and each had problems ( “smudge” on glass, what looked like a hair on the ret, and terrible CA) which was a great pity as I love the left side windage and the SKMR3 ret is probable my favourite. Obviously everyone will have an opinion on this but I...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner T5XI 5-25 Vs. Vortex Razor HD Gen 2 4.5-27

    I just traded out of my T5xi ( for a HDMR II and a bit of $) . In my opinion the Razor 2 is a better scope and has a more robust reputation than the Steiner.

    Rifle Scopes IOR Recon 4-28x50 problems? Broken? Your experiences needed.

    If you are considering the Minox ZP5 I can add that it is an excellent scope. I’ve just finished reviewing one that I bought ( 5-26*56 with MR5 ret ) against my Razor 2 NF ATACR 5-25 and 7-35 and SB PMii 5-25. Amazing glass, modern turrets and a very useable ret - though PRS people will...

    Rifle Scopes Tangent Theta 5-25 v Minox 5-25 v Nightforce 7-35 v Schmidt & Bender 5-25 v Vortex 4.5-27

    OP - like you I have NF ATACR 7-35 and 5-25 three Razor 2 and a couple of SB PMii as my “top tier” scopes. Today - and based on your review - I’ve done a deal to add the Minox to that category. Really looking forward to it and thanks for taking the time to review.

    Rifle Scopes Scope Failures at F-Class Worlds

    It is unfortunate that you cannot access the Canadian thread - there is good, civil, discourse from people who were there. The tally of confirmed fails is: Sightron SIII 10-50 "(stacking) click click click still shot low 4 ring one more click pop's out the top high 4, we switched it for the...

    Rifle Scopes Scope Failures at F-Class Worlds

    Read on another forum and confirmed by second source that there were 3 ( maybe 4 ) of the Vortex Golden Eagle scopes that failed at the F-Class Worlds this month in Canada. Also one older NF and one age unknown March. Anyone else got any info - especially about the Vortex failings ? I know...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce F1 ATACR 16x, 25x and 35x, effective spotting on paper distance

    I have the 7-35 and could see the bullet holes at 350m the other day but, as with all optics, so much is dependent upon lighting/weather conditions

    Rifle Scopes Educate me on Bushnell elite tactical line

    Comparing the XRS 4.5-30 to the Razor II or ATACR is not a good comparison as while the XRS is a good scope it is not in the same league as the other two.

    Rifle Scopes Glass Comparison S&B vs Kahles vs NF

    I have the S+B, the 7-35 ATACR, Razor II's and the Khales 624i and in terms of pure glass (to my eye) the S+B retains the slightest edge over the ATACR and Khales who are tied followed by the slightest of margins the Razor but, quite truly, all are excellent and so little separates them in the...

    Rifle Scopes Looking for an alternate to a nightforce

    Of course we don't know why you wish something other than Nightforce ATACR so all responses are, in part, based on guesses about what you don't like but I'd say that the closest if you don't mind a bit of extra beef to it is the Razor II. Glass is very close ( I call it NF but some may well...

    Rifle Scopes Comparative Review of NF ATACR 7-35 vs Razor Gen II 4.5-27 and S+B PMii

    It makes me want to cry when I read you guys talking price - though when I convert the Canadian Peso to US the spread isn't quite so painful to read about ! I think reasonable people (who are not married to a particular brand name) can drawn different conclusions re glass. Our eyes are...
