Re: hensoldt 3.5-26x56 vs Nightforce B.E.A.S.T.
meh... i am sure it will be loaded with features, but looking at the rumored pricing on it, i think i will have to pass.
personally, i dont considering getting an extra 1 percent of light trasmision and adding a few extra features to be worth 2x the cost.
if SWFA can make a kick ass FFP 5-20 with better glass, and illumintion, for 1500, there's no reason NF cant do a 5-22 FFP for under 2500, for what it looks like they are going to go for, they can keep it.
i had the chance to mess around with a leupold mk8 5-25 last week and i like the features, it has better glass than my current NSX, and given leupolds mil program vs NF's, i just dont think the NF is going to be 1000 better than the mk8.
i think that we are at a point where scopes are soo close in performance that you really are not gaining much but stepping up to the next pricing tier.
