Rifle Scopes please help with NF terminology

[jackh]

ive been looking at NF scopes on eurooptics and im having trouble determining what NF's terminology is. please correct me if im wrong on the following

-nightforce <span style="color: #FF0000">NXS</span>= illuminated
-nightforce NXS <span style="color: #FF0000">zero stop</span>= scope has zero stop, obviously
-nightforce NXS zero stop <span style="color: #FF0000">high speed</span>= turret can dial to "X" mil/moa in one turn with "X" being a large number, thus enabling the user to dial in a lot of dope in less turns? not sure about this one
-nightforce NXS zero stop <span style="color: #FF0000">MRAD</span>= adjustments are in mils
-nightforce NXS <span style="color: #FF0000">F1</span> zero stop= ffp model

i guess im the most confused about the difference in the high speed and MRAD models. i was under the impression that if you wanted adjustments in mils, you had to get the high speed turrets, is this not true? thanks for the help

If you want mils you get the model with mrad turrets.

Older model NFs had 5 mils per rev and the HS turrets are 10 mils per revolution.

I would think you would want the HS turrets, less confusion when youre shooting diff distances.

Do they make non illuminated models anymore?

nightforce NXS= Nightforce xtreme series
-nightforce NXS zero stop= scope has zero stop, obviously
-nightforce NXS zero stop high speed= has zero stop, also two revolutions on the turrets gets you the same amount of adjustment as the old models got with 4

-nightforce NXS zero stop MRAD= adjustments are in mils
-nightforce NXS F1 zero stop= ffp model

Do I have to get hi speed turrets if I want mil adjustments?

No, you do not have to get high speed turrets. It's an upgrade/option that you pay extra for.

this is correct, but nightforce has discontinued the non high speed models

So if I ordered one right now I would have to get hi speed turrets to have mil adjustments, but it used to not be this way?

not necessarily, someone might still have the old style available, there are still some out there.

but why wouldn't you want the High Speed turret. Much nicer system in my opinion.

Re: please help with NF terminology

well if it only takes around 10 mils to get a .308 to 1k yds, thats only two turns on the old turrets. i wont be making fast decisions/shots when shooting out to 1k and back, so i feel like its not necessarily worth the extra money for me.
