Re: New Nightforce products
A 1-8x compact NXS scope would be nice, but I haven't read any rumors of new NF products.

Re: New Nightforce products
Hopefully they come out with some lens covers. I have a 5.5-22x50, and the Butler Creek 44 is too big, while the 43 is too small. I'm going to try to cut a small slit in the bottom of the 43; maybe that will make it fit.

Add a wrap or two of black electrical tape on the objective, then the one that is slightly too large will fit.

Re: New Nightforce products
I replace them all the time. Break at the hing of course. I would like to see NF or S&C come out with an AL cover like Leupold. Or some aftermarket maker do them. There would be a market.

Re: New Nightforce products
Only issue for me is the rear BC cap. The entire eyepiece rotates as power changes and the damn cap is always moving around. Maybe I'm too dumb to figure it out. Do you guys have this issue and how do you make it work out?

Two wraps got the #44 to fit tight on mine.

Re: New Nightforce products
Don't try and cut the 43 I did it went in the trash afterwards. It flared real bad. The problem with the 44 on mine is it's a good bit thicker that the 43 was and won't fit between the scope and barrel. I realy don't wanna go up in ring height either.

I set mine so my hand and the bolt knob clear it when it's at the extreme clockwise position, and deal with the hassle when it's rotated back the other way. As long as it doesn't cause a problem with the bolt function it's just a pain in the a$$ that I can deal with.

It's not you. A lot of us have this problem with the NF scopes. I think this is one of the cons for sure. Nonetheless, it is really not that big of a deal, just something I would put on the ideal list. I have an F1 on the way. I am thinking about for going the caps and just using the bikini cover they send wrapped around the scope so it doesn't walk away. If it doesn't work, there's always BC caps.

It will probably be $2500. At that point, I'd probably go with a Premier Reticles.

A rail mounted bubble level that actually works would be great. I know nf can pull it off!

USO has already pulled that one off. They are great little levels.

Except sometimes you will get one that is machined off center. I'd rather not go there and get called a USO basher by all the fanboys, I went that route and found it unsatisfactory for my needs.
NF bubble level would go well with their ACI.

You're right, the stats are a WAG on my part so I will edit my original post as to be more reasonable.

Re: New Nightforce products
How about a 3-15 40mm obj, 1/2 moa high speed ZS and a more bold MOA reticle.Think mlr style or how about moa dot!(patent pendingLOL!!).
I am intrigued by their soon to be released velocity reticle in the 3-15, barring any other developments, I think that is my next scope!!
How about a 2.5-10 with 1/2 moa click hi speed turrets ZS and paralxx adjust? In their flyer the velocity reticle looks good in a 2.5-10 , but If I had my wish a bolder NPR2 would be nice. Sure I can light up the reticle, but I hate depending on batteries.( my Leupolds suck up those $4 pills like a pothead eats a bag dorritos.)
And I know somone will chime in "you do not need paralaxx on a 2.5-10x scope", well the fact is I actually like it on my Leupold 3.5-10x scopes.

All these ideas sound good.
I want a 40 or 42mm obj. on the compacts. And true FDE/OD scopes.
