Re: New Benchmark in Optics
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: 00bullitt</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Food For Thought - the NXS line of scopes is a 10 year old design that has weathered the test of time and been proven to perform reliably and repeatably in the field by both the consumer as well as Military and Law Enforcement.
Other companies are coming out with new product that just now starts to match what the NXS has been doing for the past 10 years.
We have made mechanical improvements over the years. The one thing that has remained constant is the optical prescription. To improve that means a new scope altogether. While the glass is of extreme high quality, it is not current technology ED/HD glass.
The glass in the NXS 5.5-22 is capable of resolution down in the low 2's of Daw's Limit. A Claim that only one or possibly two other scope manufacturers can claim. While color reproduction may not be as pretty as some of our competitors, it does excel in other areas that make a huge difference. Low light performance is still exceptional while our glass has the ability to resolve very fine detail at distance.
All new product coming out will incorporate the latest in optical and mechanical technology. With that latest technology being brought to market, it is difficult to not come to market at an increased cost.
The "BEAST" that everyone has heard about is coming to market as a next generation of Nightforce product. It will be better and utilize innovative technology.
What you guys are asking for in terms of performance, features, and benefits is being heard and we ARE listening.

You stated you were listening so I'm commenting and making my requests known. You have a great product! I know I'm not mentioning anything you don't already know BTW.
I like the reasonably compact size and weight of your scopes!
Those new 10 mil HS knobs are excellent but a wider version would give the customers their desired click spacing. Also a bigger font would be nice.
The Full size ZS is great except a friends gunsmith didn't follow the instructions and removed all 4 screws and messed the turret up. The owner sent it back to NF. I like the compact NXS ZS system is better.
Putting in my vote for 10Y parallax! There are close range stages at tactical matches. Also many rimfire and air rifle shooters that would appreciate this feature.
The glass in my F1 is clearly better,(pun intended) than some older NXS's I've owned??? I was really happy about that!
The illume could use a revamp like on the compact NXS series.
The lock collar for the ocular comes loose sometimes when I'm readjusting the power, usually at the worst possible time, like during a night match.
C'mon man it's almost 2013, can't you give us some clues as to what you have up your sleeve
