Rifle Scopes New Nightforce FFP on the horizon?

[ut755ln]

I am in the market for a FFP for a long range new build and was talking about optics with a distributor. He asked if I was interested in an F1 and I said I was looking for more magnification and he said that he has received literature on a new FFP Nightforce in a 5.5x22 configuration. Have any of the better connected Hide members heard anything about this?

nope but you may want to look a few posts down at the new super sniper ffp 5-25. going to have a lot of nice features for a much better price point i bet. its looking to be between 1-1.5k and the nightforce f1 is 2k so the 5-25 will probably be at least 2400 or more. just a thought

The scope that I was looking at in lieu of the Nightforce was the IOR 6x24.

They are not doing a 5-22X, it will be a 5-25X and while it may start to trickle this summer, odds are, most dealers won't see it for a while. At least if they stick with History of their past releases.

I would wager that it will be at least August before consumers see the scopes in quantity

30 or 34mm?

Nightforce has not released any literature on a new 5-25 F1.

A few dealers do know of what is coming in small detail.

Lowlight has more insight into that scope than anyone else outside of Nightforce.

I feel rather positive that it will be a crowd pleaser.

It will be 34mm.

We cannot say much on the NEW Nightforce FFP scope coming out, I will say I have seen it and you NF lovers will not be disappointed.

As for the NEW reticles in the 3.5-15x50mm are really nice and clean.
