    Rifle Scopes Why are 1x-4x and 1x-6x scopes so expensive?

    It is not so much about the magnification range as it is the focal length. True 1x variables have very short focal lengths as can a higher magnification scope. The shorter the focal length, the less movement is required to move the erector for adjustment. The amount of travel that our 1-4...

    Rifle Scopes Question for BEAST owners re: tenebraex objective cap

    Give them a call on Monday as they are not in on Sunday. They get there about 7:30am PST. Or you can email them at [email protected] I am sorry for the inconvenience, but I am confident that they will get you corrected quickly.

    Rifle Scopes Question for BEAST owners re: tenebraex objective cap

    There should be a total of four pieces that comprise the caps. A screw in objective adapter, objective flip up cap, eyepiece adapter (with screw), and eyepiece flip up cap. The adapters allow the caps to be easily indexed. If you are missing any of this, please contact our Customer Service Team...

    Nightforce TS-82 vs Meopta S2 82 HD

    I cannot comment much further. Zeiss does make alot of their stuff - they are the true powerhouse in the optics industry and have 10k employees worldwide and gross over $10B yearly. IOR does build their scopes in Romania and they utilize Schott glass. S&B sources glass from more than one source...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce MIL-R reticle experience?

    That is a very good option when the focal length allows such fine reticle detail and in non-illuminated and thin center illuminated only.

    Rifle Scopes Why are 1x-4x and 1x-6x scopes so expensive?

    They are very tolerance driven as the erector has to move in such small increments compared to higher mag scopes. It is a very tough balancing act to get everything to jive in a true 1x system.

    Nightforce TS-82 vs Meopta S2 82 HD

    Not true. You would be surprised. Meopta actually cuts, grinds and finishes glass in house. While Zeiss is one of the only other optic powerhouses that has capability to take 100% raw materials and spit a product out, they do outsource. And yes....we partnered with them to build our...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce MIL-R reticle experience?

    .04mr equates to .137moa Much thinner than that and the reticle startys to become unusable at lower magnifications. FFP reticles always seem to be a compromise. A reticle that is easily visible on lower magnification is too thick on max magnification and vice versa and definitely gets more...

    Rifle Scopes H-58 reticle in the NF F-1

    The line thickness on the H58 in the NF F1is thicker than the current H59 - twice as thick actually. The line thickness on the H58 is thicker due to a masking that was applied for the illumination. The masking prevents the illumination being viewed from a forward observer and most always creates...

    Rifle Scopes NightForce Competititon vs. March scopes

    To my knowledge, the March scopes are still utilizing just regular low dispersion (LD) glass similar to that used in the NXS. I personally think that the March and NXS produce a superb image. The new Competition uses ED (Extra Low Dipsersion) HD (High Density) glass which provides a much more...

    Rifle Scopes Someone tell me a NF BEAST is just way too much

    Personally, for me, I would go with the 32mm as I prefer the fixed parallax on a Mk12 for shooting inside 600 yards. The 32mm still perfoms well in low light, you just need to use about 8x to where the 42 can pretty much be used on 10x. The 42 has the digillum dual color red/green) illumination...

    Rifle Scopes Someone tell me a NF BEAST is just way too much

    The BEAST is way too much IMO for the Mk12. Go with the 2.5-10x32/42. They are awesome on the Mk12.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce SHV. Anyone try this yet?

    CJ, The SHV was meant to be a more cost effective alternative to the NXS for shooters that did not want exposed tactical adjustments. The 5-20 does have a ZeroSet feature which allows you to set a point for you to return to zero, but it is far from the ZeroStop on the NXS. It also has external...

    Rifle Scopes Who makes this ring accessory?

    Since it fits NF rings and mounts, I am pretty certain that it is by Wilcox.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce ultralite rings

    Take whatever we advertise as ring height and subtract 15mm for 30mm rings or 17mm for 34mm rings from it. 15mm = .59" 17mm = .67" Our measurements are from top of base to center of ring. Take half of the diameter and subtract it. 1.00" - .59" = .41"

    Rifle Scopes NFO BEAST - first hand accounts?

    The pictures posted are from SHOT 2013. Since that release the 360 degree brake knob was made larger and the position of the windage lock button was moved from the face of the knob to the side. Those are old pictures for sure.

    Rifle Scopes New Nightforce 4-16x42 CSASS

    Nightforce Optics did not share the info with Gear Scout for public release, but none the less, the cat has been prematurely let out of the bag. The 4-16x42 is a FFP scope and it was developed to meet specific requirements of the U.S. Army's CSASS solicitation as mentioned. While it may one day...

    Rifle Scopes NFO BEAST - first hand accounts?

    They both utilize ED Glass but different prescriptions. ATACR uses Japanese glass and the BEAST uses a combination of German, US, and Japanese. Both yield superb results with the edge going to the BEAST, but most healthy eyes have a difficult time discerning.

    Rifle Scopes MOAR vs MOAR-T

    The MOAR was developed to answer specific end user requests as an evolution of the NP-RF1 in the F1 model. We knew that if the MOAR was successful that the natural progression would be to make a Thin Target version (Hence "T") that would eventually replace the NP-R1. Thank you to all that...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce new product development

    We watch, we listen, we try hard; but unfortunately I cannot comment about the things that are under development as we try hard to keep a lid on things until performance is proven, but alot of cool stuff is taking place. What I can say is this......while I realize we will never please everyone...
