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

    You don't like the EBR 2C from Vortex ? I really like that one and wish NF made something similar. Am just starting to do some viewing thru the SKMR3 on the Khales which is very nice.

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

    I hope shoot over the next two weekends and then write it up so about three weeks or so. I can say this already after a 'glassing afternoon' with scope mounted but no shooting: Glass very, very close to S+B and reticle (SKMR3) as nice as or maybe even better than the EBR 2C that I am so very...

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

    Nightforce doesn't have a Nightforce Canada but thru the authorized dealer I dealt with I got enough off Canadian MSRP to make me happy.

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

    These are Canadian numbers and I did get a good deal on my S+B last year. MSRP in Canada is as follows NF C$4600 Vortex C$4500 ( Just checked it has gone to C$4999 !! ) and S+B $4150. Street prices vary but the list I gave ATACR 7-35 F1, Razor II 4.5-27 and S+B PMii 5-25 remains accurate to...

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

    I think to my eye the S+B was a touch better than the NF but it was so close that someone could easily choose NF over S+B. Where my S+B Pmii drops points is on turrets and the unnecessary loss of space by adding the third turret for the illumination control.

    Rifle Scopes 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 The best turrets you have ever felt?

    Of course there is a lot of subjectivity in this ( as, incidentally, is there is glass evaluation ) but for me the 'best turrets' question comprises three things: feel, features and ease of use and so I rate them as follows (based on what I own or have spent a sufficiently long time with to...

    Rifle Scopes USO ER25 vs Vortex Razor Gen 2 4.5-27

    I used to think the Vortex overrated ( you know, great marketing company that happens to sell scopes ) but that changed when I bought a Razor HD Gen II of which I now have two. Compares very favorably to the S+B Pmii and the NF ATACR that I own and is better IMO that the USO I have used. Of...

    Rifle Scopes Nf 7-35 atacr

    I had a thread on this on the now old Scout site. Lots to like - glass is very good. Prefer the Razor EBR2-c reticle and so "which is better" is tough to answer but I will be writing a full review soon and will compare to my Razors and to the S+B Pmii. Meanwhile some teaser shot:

    Rifle Scopes best bang for the buck

    Falcon made one decent scope a few years back; 4.5-18x56 SFP but the majority of their stuff is not suited for serious work. Really, the old expression "only a rich person can afford cheap glass" is true. I always recommend that the starting point for glass should be something like the Vortex...
