Re: Release from Nightforce - Hi Speed Turrets

so the 10 mil vs the standard 5 mil?

Did not take the time to see how they feel if they are too close together.

Re: Release from Nightforce - Hi Speed Turrets

Yes 10 Mils per rev... I'll have some to comment on shortly, but as I recall they were not too tightly spaced.

Frank, how do we order? Through NF direct or through dealers? And do we send in the scope or do they send us the new turret and we screw on the new one? I want/NEED two of these! Thanks!

 

[Lowlight]

Re: Release from Nightforce - Hi Speed Turrets

I would guess dealers Chad...

Re: Release from Nightforce - Hi Speed Turrets

The S&B scopes have turrets that are 34 mm in diameter, and have 120 clicks in one complete turn.

The NXS scopes have turrets that are very close to 30 mm in diameter, so 100 clicks/turn is about the same spacing (about 5% larger). The clicks are going to be small like the S&B, there is no magic possible, but still very well defined if done properly.

I do wish they changed to larger diameter knobs, and better illumination control. But all in all, IMO 10 mils/turn is a step ahead.

Will be curious to see what the upgrade price will be.

Re: Release from Nightforce - Hi Speed Turrets

I talked to Ken at Nightforce, and you will have to send in your scope to retrofit it with the new 20 MOA per turn turret. He said they have not figured out a price yet, and it should take about 4-6 weeks to complete the change out. I'll be sending him both of mine!

Who are some of the NF dealers you guys have been pleased with in the past.

Looking for good customer service and there contact info. Thanks

Re: Release from Nightforce - Hi Speed Turrets

Barney, I believe there is one in Baton Rouge. I will find out later. But the Spotted Dog in Colombia La sells them and have been good with many of my friends. One bought a 55-22x56 for the lowest price I have seen. They usually keep 3 nxs's in stock.

Give Mike at CS Tactical a call. So far, I have had a great experience.

Re: Release from Nightforce - Hi Speed Turrets

Barney PM sent. You all should try SportOptics.com. Ask for Chris or Jay. They are a very large NF dealer along with all other major brands of high end optics. CS is great and good people!!

What do these turrets do? I must have missed a memo...

Aha... that was in the first post, but I didn't realize it. Mine is in MOA so it does 10 MOA per revolution, probably why I missed it.

Thanks-

Shawn

Re: Release from Nightforce - Hi Speed Turrets

Guess, I'm going to be waiting on my new NF until mid-late July.
Glad I saw this, I'll be placing my order this week.
Thanks Frank.
