I almost see no mention of the NF BEAST. What happened? Guess I’ll go google it now.... backwards, I know.
Rifle Scopes What happened to the BEAST
- Thread starter Bender
- Start date
What happened to the B.E.A.S.T. is that Nightforce released the ATACR F1 line of scopes. Simplified mechanics, equal optics, lower price...
Not to mention a plethora of other scopes are on the market that get the job done for $1,000+ less than what the B.E.A.S.T. costs.
Just my opinion.

Awesome scope. I had to get a tt though, so sold the beast to help fund the tt. The beast was definitely nice.
I'm a Night Force user but never understood the BEAST
Out of friends I have that bought one, only one still uses it.

I understand the fine tic lever but never saw the need, just added complication to make the scope seem hi tech. I would love to have one don't get me wrong but I'd rather have an ATACR F1. With the Beast, For the money I would buy another scope and other stuff
Still an excellent scope but given it's price point it has some very stiff competition and from less expensive options that are just as good.
Is he in Cheyenne? I would love to just look at one and finger it without having to buy it dinner.... lol this is why scopes are better than women. I’m some ways.... lol
I had one of the first BEAST with the MILR reticle when they first came out I paid $3,200 for it from Midway USA. I had it for over two years it is/was a great scope I just never got use too the .20 MIL adjustments then use the lever for the other .10. Luckily for me the price of them went to $3,977 I sold it for $3,100 with a SPUHR mount so I don't feel like I took to big a hit.
Hi Bender, I'm the good friend ( I think). I have one of the first one's in the wild, I personally LOVE the .2 turrets. I never find myself using the lever at all. It is just a faster system and I love to Bracket targets so the concept works great for me. Also love that I can dial 1 mile with 0 moa built into the base or rings. I sold a S&B to buy it and I'm glad I did.
We need to get together on a Saturday at Otto some time, I know you guys do Sunday but I’m unavailable on Sundays. I would love to just look at the BEAST lol. Way more scope than I’ll need.
I took one look at the elevation turret and couldn't stop laughing, it's that large you can hide behind it.
I wish it was me, I have not been to Otto Long Range for a few weeks, been too busy shooting carbines and pistols on the weekends
