Rifle Scopes Nightforce First Focal + Horus H27

[SoundFx]

Hey Folks,

Just got off the phone with a Nightforce rep. He said that the F1/H27 combo was in the works, but no ETA. Man, I hope <span style="font-style: italic">somebody</span> puts an H27 in their scope so I can throw my money at them....

Unless I can find a used USO I'll be buying one of those Nightforce HV's

Thanks for the update!

Well I'm willing to bet the price of the nightforce is going to be close to $2300-$2500 and for that kind of of $ you can get a USO

I intend to try one of the FFP NF's pretty soon. I have never owned one, but have used them a bit on other guys rifles. I thought they were nice scopes, but didnt think they were as nice as my USO's. But I figure with all the guys who dig them there must be something to them.

The only way to find out is to give one a shot. I am starting to spend more time trying to actually range with my reticle, just so I will have the ability, so I may as well get an FFP.

Nightforce would still need to pay the royalties/license fee to incorporate the reticle.
This would be passed on in the price.

My NXS is a great scope but if the horus edition cost even remotely close to the USO price there really is no question which one to choose. I have 2 horus USO's and love them- maybe if I could save 6-700 getting the NXS I would consider it but if it just a couple hundred its a no go.

I understand. I feel the same way, actually. The kicker, for me, is that USO won't offer the <span style="font-style: italic">H27</span>. Just the H25. I emailed USO, and they told me that they would not be offering the H27. To me, the H25 is not as good as the H27, and I wouldn't buy another scope with it (I have a steel-tubed Falcon with H25 now). My preference is H27 -> H37 -> H25. Now, perhaps USO will change its policy. But, I asked only a few months ago. So, where the H27 shows up, my dollars will follow.

If anyone has some good intel on this subject, I'd appreciate it very much.

Re: Nightforce First Focal + Horus H27

USO does offer the H37 in the 5-25. I have one on my 338.

Re: Nightforce First Focal + Horus H27

Dks39,

Yes, you're right. I mistakenly gave the impression that USO doesn't offer the H37. I should have left it at, "They do not offer the H27." Thank you for the correction.

Re: Nightforce First Focal + Horus H27

As far as I know USO offers the h27 in the 3.2-17 tpal line. I should know as I have one on order with them.

Re: Nightforce First Focal + Horus H27

Well, maybe so, but here's a copy and paste of my email exchange with USO (from bottom to top, of course) -

Hi XXXX,

I don't think we have the H-27 for our scopes unfortunately.

Hi Jeff,

Yes, I believe that's what I'd be interested in. Would the H27 be
the same price as the H25? $400?

Thanks again,
XXXX

Which magnification scope were you interested in, the 3.2-17x?

Subject: Horus H27 Reticle

Hello USO Customer Service / Sales,

I was hoping that you could answer a question for me. Would it be
possible for you to make me a custom scope with the H27 reticle? I
know that Horus still has a few left, because they were going to have
my S&B converted by PR before PR stopped doing the conversions. I
love the H27, but I'm not as into the H25. Possible?

Thanks!
XXXX
