Rifle Scopes New Nightforce

[Awesymoto]

About to drop the bomb on a nightforce NXS Compact or F1 in MLR with Mil/Mil....
Will be rigged to a .308 Semi Match rifle, just don't know which glass to pick. Love the 2-10 but no paralax? will be used primarily in the 300-900yd Suggestions?
Currently running a Leupy M4 4.5-14 TMR FFP. Like the FFP but i find myself ranging full power anyways so not super concerned. Main reason why i'm switching is to Mil/Mil with zero stop. Is the Compact good glass with only 32mm? I begin shooting as soon as dawn and often shoot till dusk. I do not have the $$ to get the S&B we have here in stan' O and I'm getting it online due to being deployed right now. I want some new glass when I get back to play with.

Would take the F1 w HS turrets, zero stop and FFP all day.

I second the NF F1 but get the MLR2 reticle instead of the MLR, it's a much better reticle that can be used down to the lower powers. For what you are doing, shooting to 900 yards or so, having a parallax adjustment will come in handy versus having no parallax adjustment.

+ 1 for the MLR2

Re: New Nightforce

You'd be plenty happy with either.I know because I have both.

I think the 2.5-10 is better suited for a lighter hunting rifle/SPR or on a medium range rifle.I'm usually a FFP guy but I like the NF compact as is with the velocity reticle.My only complaint is there are no indicators to see what turret rev your on.At least it has a zero stop though,so as long as you remember to use it you're fine.

The F1 is my favorite scope!The 10 mil knobs and ZS have made this scope even better.For a 3.5-15 it can be considered compact compared to most tactical scopes in it's class.Bought the H-58 ret in mine.Love it!NF needs to update the illume system to be like the compact series and it sure would be if they'd put in 10Y parallax.

3.5-15x50 MLR or NP-R1 depending on if you prefer MIL vs. MOA.

F1 without hesitation. They are great scopes.
