Nightforce Scopes

[Dodge Man]

Anybody ever use them? They are high dollar but they look like they would be worth the money. What other brand of scope would be good to consider that would be 5X22X50 or close to that power and quality?

What do you want to use the scope for? Hunting or Target shooting.

If I were setting up a high end target rifle or long range rig, they would be at the top of the list.

Best glass for the money, hands down...

Other scopes in it's price class include the swarovski and the high end zeiss. Nightforces are way better than both. Of course, USO is probably the best, but they're $2500 with all the bells and whistles.

They are nearly indestructable, but the negative side of that is they weigh a ton. You don't want one on a carry type of rifle.

I've got a 5.5-22x56 and a 8-32x56, love them both. The 8-32 is hard to beat for a dedicated LONG range hunting rig, the 5.5-22 is probably better for an all-arounder.

The 12-42 does lose some optical quality when you go past 35x or so, and for that reason I wouldn't have one.

Save your pennies, but there are good deals to be had out there. One just sold yesterday on the 'hide (5.5-22) for $1150 shipped.

I've got one and it's the best I've ever used. If I had the money I would replace every one of my scopes with them.

I have a 3.5-15X50 on this little 308.

I have shot a Sako TRG 42 338 lapua with the 5.5-22x56,,the 100 MOA adjustments are wicked,,with a 30 MOA taper base it may well zero past a mile with 300 gr bullets..

I've looked through several at work, and they're the clearest glass I've seen. Schmidt & Bender makes a good scope too. I wish I felt like I could budget for either!
