    Rifle Scopes Alternative to Nightforce NXS??

    I’ve been using a NXS compact 2.5-10x42 zerostop MOAR for a few years now, it’s a really nice hunting scope. I recently took it off my 300 blackout and put it on my 338 edge, just to see how it go’s on a long range rifle, it shoots sub moa on steel out to 800m no problems. Heres one of 4 deer...

    Rifle Scopes Questions on NF NXS 2.5-10×42 COMPACT - with capped turrets

    I’ve got the uncapped MOAR reticle model on a 300 blackout bolt action that I use for high shot count goat culling. Need to dial up elevation a lot because of the caliber and when I haven’t got time use the moa reticle hold overs. Most of my shooting 90% is free hand 5m to 200m and 10% shooting...

    Rifle Scopes Looking for Scope/Reticle advice for Subs & Supers - 300 BLK

    Rifle Scopes Illuminated vs non-illuminated reticles

    I hunt a lot in evenings and with dark backgrounds or thick cover. The illumination is handy in those situations otherwise would have to pass on the shot.

    Rifle Scopes Ouch! Dropped ATACR

    It must of been a good drop to do that. That’s the main reason I buy Nightforce scopes, robustness and reliable turrets. Have dropped and nocked mine plenty of times climbing and off the quad bike while moving and still stay on zero and tracking reliably.

    Hunting & Fishing 300 BO subsonic for medium sized game?

    Yes much like bow hunting. Running a NXS compact 2.5-10x42 zero stop MOAR, 60m zero with subs set on turret zero and super set on the zero stop +9 MOA above the subs zero, it just a matter of range, dail and shoot really easy. 300m is the farthest I’ve shot a deer with this rig. Very underrated...

    Hunting & Fishing 300 BO subsonic for medium sized game?

    I’ve had plenty of experience with the 300 blackout subs shooting 200+ deer and 1000+ goats. My main deer hunting hand loads are Lehigh 168gr CF and 194gr ME. Once you do all your homework on the Ballistics and practice on longer range angle shots it a easy caliber to use if your skills can...

    Rifle Scopes Sako Finnlight and a AtacR 4-16x50

    I’m running a 4-16x42F1 ATACR on a Sako 75 Finnlite and a NEAR rail with Warne low rings. I did have 3.5-15x56 NXS before and the ATACR is a lot better than the odd NXS.
