Rifle Scopes Nightforce or suppressor?

[dpreston]

I've only got the coin for one right now. Either a NXS 5.5-22 Mil/Mil or a Thunder Beast arms 30P-1 suppressor.

I have a new build coming that I don't have an optic for, but I could switch one of my S&B's between two guns (that could get annoying real quick re-zeroing every time I switch). Should I get the Nightforce or go for my first suppressor?

If you have a decent scope right now, get the can...

Switching scopes as you said is a PITA. I get the NightForce

I would go with the NightForce and go shoot. I try to make shooting as trouble free as I can and remove as many variables as possible.

Supressor is a support piece, unless it is for your job. Scope on the other hand is kind of important. Consistancy is gold in my mind, but might just be me.

Not really a can fanatic here. But that aside anyway, the scope swapping is a pain in the a**. I got tired of it faster than I thought I would.

NightForce hands down.

Scope first. We all lived without moderators for years; and all they do is take the big out of big boom! They don't get rid of the crack and new products are coming on line almost weekly, price dropping too. Scopes don't get ever cheaper.

I would hope that a chromoly, 28oz, parkerized can would be cheaper than a Thunderbeast. Then again, I would not even mention the two as comparable.

Get the can!

Just drove to Euro Optics here in PA and picked up the NF 5.5-22x50 mrad with MLR reticle.

Thanks for the help guys

Get the scope. You don't have to have the suppressor to shoot.

If I were you, I'd get an AAC 762-SD now and while you're waiting For your form 4 to clear you could be re-fattening up the old piggy bank. By the time you got your tax stamp, you'd probably have enough saved for that new NXS.

Sure it's always a pain to switch out optics back and fourth, but once your form 4 gets back and you pick up your new NXS, the trouble will be worth it.

Either way you appear to be in pretty good shape. Good luck and congrats on the new rig.
