Rifle Scopes Nightforce NXS Delivery times - 5.5 - 22 x 56 MLR

[AIAWinAU]

Hi Guys,

Would some kind soul mind finding out what the delivery time on a Nightforce NXS 5.5 - 22 x 56 with an MLR reticule & MIL adjustments is in the US please if possible ?

I have one on order here in Australia & it looks like it may turn into a 6 month wait. I know we are down under but jeez - it aint that bloody far down under ...................

Thanks !

I called Bear Basin a couple weeks ago and picked up a 5.5 x 22 50mm in stock. At the time, they had 2 50's and 2 56's. I would just look on the Nightforce website at the online dealer list and start calling. I did--found two places with MLR w/ milrad turrets in stock.

Hey tikkat3
I'm in the same boat as you. I've had the same scope on backorder since around the end of April/start of May. There have been 2 shipments of Nightforce scopes into Australia since then and my scope hasn't been in any of them. Apparently, then next shipment is due in at the end of october.

I used this thread to find where to get one (with mil dot, though) and it was here in less than a week: http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Main=95665&Number=1327513#top

LOL Order your own.

I just ordered the exact same scope yesterday for my upcoming 300WM and was told about 2 weeks.

Seriously look around at some of the stocking dealers and you might be able to find one without having to order it.

Alex at eurooptics. I don't know about shipping off-shore or what not.

Aussie owned Company and we get serviced last !! seems like they need to increase production of the MIL/MLR scopes in Japan. My mate is also waiting on his 5-22x56 MIL adj. MLR Scope they said 8-12 weeks and that was around 5 weeks ago hopefully does not turn to 6mnth wait !!

Well they keep saying that they are Australian owned, but all I can figure out is that their operation in Australia leaves a bit to be desired.

Actually they are assembled and quality controled in the US for the SFP models. Just not enough US made parts to mark them made here. The compact series and FFP F1s are made in the US and wear the Made in the USA sticker.

Hey Bloke, I have the exact same scope you are looking for.

I bought it from QLD Gun Exchange, they had it in stock and the price was the best i have seen at $2,022 AUD.

I got the last one in that config, sorry.

They said around 3 months to get them restocked again.

As for buying one from overseas, from what i heard when i tried buying one a while ago is NXS have a strict international shipping policy and do not like to have there scopes shipped internationally, they prefer to have you buy it from the country you reside in. Therefore its hard to find a willing dealer in the US to ship on to you here in Aus.

Great scope by the way i absolutely love it! It sits on my .243 and i want another one now for my .223.

PM me if you still want one, I MAY be able to point you in the right direction re getting one.
