    Re: Razor HD or Night force NXS with FFP If most other higher end scopes are going to 10 mil turrets I'd be willing to bet that Vortex will go to a 10 mil turret in the future and they will make it so you can get your 5 mil turret retrofitted to make it a 10 mil turret. am I being to...

    Rifle Scopes Illumination on the NXS F1 and the Razor HD

    I'm kinda slow sometimes so I just noticed the Nightforce doesn't have the typical illumination dial on the ocular part of the scope. The Razor has it were I'm used to seeing and using it. Is the Nightforce illumination setup any better or easier to use than the Razor?

    Re: Razor HD or Night force NXS with FFP The other thing I had heard was the at lower powers the Nightforce reticule got pretty difficult to see. I was looking at getting the ebr 2 and if the Christmas tree disappeared at lower powers I don't see that as a big deal Im I right or way off base

    I'm just about read to drop some cash on a new scope and have it narrowed down to either the Razor or the NightForce FFP. I know the Razor has a higher magnification but I'm only shooting a 308 and don't know if I need a 20 power. More is usually better but... For about 2k which is the...
