Which Nightforce?

[Here2Learn]

If you could pick any Nightforce excluding F1 which one would you or have you chosen?

I don't know a ton about them and I'm looking for some ideas.

Thanks
Jim

Put holes in paper and punch steel from 100 to 1K from bench and nontraitional positions. For range and comp use basically an all around general purpose optic

Is moa/moa more popular than mil/mil with the NF crowd?

Re: Which Nightforce?

I have a 3.5X15 with the NP-1 which I scalped off my Weatherby to put on my GAP-10. I definitely have to buy another NF for the GAP so this will help me out too. I have been drooling over the 5.5X22 with NP-R1 but also noticed the new MOAR reticle they have out for 2012. I notice alot of peeps around here like the 3.5X15 out to 1K though.

Why exclude the F1? It's the most popular for what we do for a reason.

I have one sitting here and out of all the stuff I have been sent to review this year, it's probably one that won't go back.

5.5-22X56 - MLR in the MIL/MIL or the new MOAR in a MOA/MOA.

Nightforce makes more MOA/MOA than MIL/MIL, but the MIL/MIL are catching on.

Have you featured a review I'm Mail Call with it LoneWolf? I would love to see you go over it.

Re: Which Nightforce?

NF NXS 5.5-22x50 MOA/MOA NP-R1

*Want to sell and get the new MOAR reticle*

 

[JFComfort]

Re: Which Nightforce?

The F1 would be the only one I would want. If I really couldn't go F1 I would chose a 5.5-22x50mm NP-R1

Re: Which Nightforce?

3.5-15 mil /mil w mlr reticle is my poison

 

[kineticmedic]

Re: Which Nightforce?

F1 for sure. I wish they made it in a 5.5-22x56 also. Either way you slice it, I'm making the move to mil/mil across all my scopes.

 

[ctressler]

Re: Which Nightforce?

NXS 5.5-22x50 mil/mill

 

[Graham]

Re: Which Nightforce?

3.5-15x50 MLR2.

Because:

The 5.5-22s are limited as a SFP scope, and eye relief is more critical.

And there's no discernable difference in performance between the 50mm and 56mm objective.

Re: Which Nightforce?

NXS 5.5-22x56 mil/mil MLR high speed and zero stop.

Re: Which Nightforce?

^^^ Same one I got.

 

[Cascade_Sherpa]

Re: Which Nightforce?

After owning a 5.5-22 x 56mm with the CH3 reticle for the last couple of years I traded it away on a rifle. But I'm already shopping for another NF. I would like to get a 5.5-22 x50mm with Zero Stop and the NPR2 Reticle and high speed turets, MOA is fine with me.

Re: Which Nightforce?

im an moa guy (personal preference)

I have the 5.5-22X50 NP-R1. High Speed nobs, I did not get the zero stop and wish I did, spend the extra and get it you will love it.

 

[mrhog]

Re: Which Nightforce?

Well I went for the 8x32x56 NP-R1. MOAxMOA great glass easy to see out 1000 and beyond

Re: Which Nightforce?

i like the 5.5-22x56 hs zs npr2, but it depends on what i'm doing, been running it for a few years

 

[tylerw02]

Re: Which Nightforce?

Isn't it redundant to say:

"MLR mil/mil"

Or

"MOAR in MOA/MOA"

as MLR signifies a milrad reticle and and MOAR signifies a MOA reticle? As far as I know, Nightforce doesn't offer mixed elevation and windage adjustments.

 

[tylerw02]

Re: Which Nightforce?

Also, my 2cents:

If shooting for F-class or BR or just simple target shooting, I'd get the 5.5-22x56 or 8-32x56 NP-R1 with MOA knobs.

For field shooting, I'd get an F1 with an MLR2 reticle and milrad knobs.
