My new POF 308 and Nightforce Scope.

[ZO6Dave]

Figured I'd share my newest rifle with you guys. I got the Nightforce mounted and took it to the range today. Got her zeroed with Federal 168 SMK's. I very happy with the quality of the scope. As a matter of fact I'm saving my pennies to buy one for my Bolt gun.

The reticle at night taken with my iphone. Very crisp at night and low light.

5 round zero at 100 yards. Happy with the zero using factory ammo. I know I'll tighten that group up.

I really am happy with the quality of the scope. The reticle however is VERY fine. I have great eye sight, better than 20/15 but on a dark background during the day the reticle gets slightly washed out. May just take some getting used to since I am used to a mil dot scope.

Only other thing I need is to change out the butstock for a PRS.

If the NP-R1 is too fine, check out the MOAR reticle.

Is that the FFP nxs?

 

[ZO6Dave]

Re: My new POF 308 and Nightforce Scope.

No its a second focal plane NSX. 5.5x22 Np-R1 reticle.

Nice set up!

Which mount is that for the Optics?

Re: My new POF 308 and Nightforce Scope.

Sick rig!

Re: My new POF 308 and Nightforce Scope.

Bad ass, man! Really bad ass! POF just makes damn fine weaponry and with a NightForce NXS on top, it just sweetens the deal!

+1 on what MileHigh said. The MOAR is an awesome reticle!

Thanks, I need your butstock...Where'd you get it? Any vendors on the board?

Perhaps I'll get the MOAR for my bolt gun.

As a matter of fact there is. Check the Options & Accessories and you'll find a vendor topic selling the PRS.

Re: My new POF 308 and Nightforce Scope.

Nice looking setup and good shooting thus far!!

Thanks to Killshot, I ordered mine today. Same exact rifle.

You will like the bipod, I've got pretty much the same unit, just labeled Bobro. Very solid, legs fully adjustable, quick and positive engagement of legs.

Well, you're spoiled now. LOL.

Some mighty fine rifles show up on this forum, Good Luck.

The BUIS are Magpul. Very nice quality pieces. I HIGHLY recommend them. I zeroed them before I ever mounted the scope.

As for advice on zeroing your irons I would need a bit more info on the problem you're having before I could give advice.

Re: My new POF 308 and Nightforce Scope.

damn you!!! I glanced at the NXS with the MOAR reticale but had been sold on a sightron SIII just cause its $1100 less.. but then i see that and am back on the nightforce bus.

Re: My new POF 308 and Nightforce Scope.

Beautiful rifle. What kind of scope mount is that? Have you checked to see if it goes right back to zero when you remove it and put it back on again?

GG&G and no I have not. Call me superstitious.

Re: My new POF 308 and Nightforce Scope.

Awesome set up and great shooting. Nightforce makes some great scopes, you'll be very satisfied.

Re: My new POF 308 and Nightforce Scope.

Nice looking setup dude! +2 on the NF with MOAR reticle as well.

They shoot 14" low @ 25m. Rainier Arms said the POF rails set higher than the standard rail and said to use troy micro (already had). POF said to zero at 60-75 yards which I tried and still shot low. The front post was down as far as it would go. I really like the troy sights but need something that works as BUIS.

 

[ZO6Dave]

Re: My new POF 308 and Nightforce Scope.

For what BUIS cost I'd try a diff pair. Try the magpuls.

Re: My new POF 308 and Nightforce Scope.

I have the same setup with a PRS stock and MLR NF

 

[slowyellow]

Re: My new POF 308 and Nightforce Scope.

That's a nice rig man. I just picked up one of those scopes (different reticle) for my bolt gun. Hopefully I like mine as much as you do yours.

Re: My new POF 308 and Nightforce Scope.

Nice looking rig! Looks like she is a shooter as well!

 

[tony2772]

Re: My new POF 308 and Nightforce Scope.

Very nice, I have the same scope on my LMT. If you get the PRS and are looking to get rid of the Magpul PM me.

 

[Jaytrigger]

Re: My new POF 308 and Nightforce Scope.

Well let me give you my FFL's paperwork so you can ship this trash my way (ill pay shipping so it is not a hassle). Ill see if I can get any use out of her.

Nice setup

Question: Is the buffer tube on this rifle carbine length or standard?

Re: My new POF 308 and Nightforce Scope.

Great rig! Which flash hider is that Dave?

What do you guy think of the GG&G vs ADM scope mount?

 

[jonthomps]

Re: My new POF 308 and Nightforce Scope.

Good looking set up - and shooting. POF and NF makes good stuff!

 

[IslandTime]

Re: My new POF 308 and Nightforce Scope.

Great rig Dave! That POF and NF combo is a work of art.

Are the magpul BUIS Gen1 or Gen2?

It's an AAC mount. And I've never used an ADM mount.

[TexasGunTrustLawyer]

Did you get the PRs? Which buffer and spring did you use?
