Rifle Scopes ID this Nightforce scope, is it a fake or discont?

[GunKnowledge]

Ok, need help from the dealers/NF users, I haven't bought a Nightforce yet, love Leupold.

But, did Nightforce ever make a 2.5-10x50 scope? Handled one for a little bit, but when I looked online and at a couple dealers websites, didn't find any with those numbers...

Unfortunately I didn't spend much time on it, and didn't really know what to look for even if I did, but in the center of the scope on the left side, where a side focus knob is usually at, it read
"2.5-10x50
Nightforce"
All in yellow , and the word "Nightforce" was a cursive script.

No box, paperwork, or anything came with the scope. Is it some discontinued model? What kind of price would it be around?

No picture, maybe if I go back I can take a cell phone snapshot or something...

Found a picture of the reticle it was SIMILAR to:

EDIT:, Now that I think of it, the reticle wasn't EXACTLY like that. Again, this is just from my fuzzy memory, but I don't remember as many crosses in the middle, and for the horizontal lines and circles above the 100 gradients, I thought I remember the circles being on one end of the line or the other, not centered in the horizontal line like there are in this picture.

Could be a benchrest model. Def not an NXS with the description you gave.

Did the side look similar to this?

It is a Nightforce Varminter that was discontinued a few years ago. The one that I have still has a $980 price tag on it. If you have a chance take a look though it during low light or an overcast day you will be amazed at how clear it is.

Here are a couple of pictures for reference:

Yes, but "Nightforce" was below the specifications line, and it didnt have "Custom Super".

Awesome, thanks for the help. Wanted to be sure it wasn't a knockoff or something...
