12x42x56 nightforce np2dd reticle. This scope is amazing. Of course it goes to raining like crazy as soon as i get it and the range is a mudbog now. Hope to really try it out later this week.

how did i know you was gonna get a NF

 

[ftsibley]

well i really wanted the March 8x80x56 scope but it is a bit above my paygrade so NF it is.

i have to thank Chburnham and Saadams523 for buying my 1911's to make it possible.

 

[Beladran]

yea i mean they are only like 4,000 bones..... i thought everyone on here had one?? lol jk

Really don't need a spotting scope anymore, do you?

no doubt, i am amazed at the clarity at the highest magnification. I had a leupold 6.5x20x50 on this gun and the NF is a giant improvement over it.

this gun and scope combo weigh in at 14.4 lbs.

 

[Beladran]

does it stay in bed with you??

For 4,000 bones it would have to do more that just sit on top of a gun. :lol:

For the price difference, there definitely should be. I have recently bought my first two Nikons. They are low end, but I am amazed at the improvement over the Simmons and Bushnells I have been using.

glad to see I'm not alone in being green with envy. :tophat:

 

[Beladran]

his gun and scope cost more than my first car.....

 

[jbpmidas]

Just the scope was, probably, more than my first car. It was an '87 Toyota Corolla. It was $2500.

 

[Beladran]

im guessing total package value of $6,000 +/-

 

[jbpmidas]

My second vehicle was a little more. It was $7500.

does it stay in bed with you??

nope but it does sleep next to me on the couch.

a March Scope is 4000.00 the nightforce while expensive is much less than the March Beladran and I were refering to.

check them out at www.deon.co.jp/march i am under no illusion of every owning a March- heck i would just love to know someone that owns one.

 

[Beladran]

yea i think Nightforce or Schmidt & Bender is about as premium as i well ever get. Heck NF titanium rings and bases cost more than most scopes do.

 

[jbpmidas]

I'll probably never make it to that level. I would like a Nikon Monarch BDC. I can't ever seeng paying more then 5-600 for a scope. Maybe it's because I have never looked through one.

 

[Beladran]

highly reccomend you dont... it will ruin you.. if you think a nikon or leupold is the best of the best you just need to leave it at that

 

[ftsibley]

what beldran said x20..... i was fine with my leupolds until i did the load development for a buddy who had a 300win mag whose chamber was cut with the same reamer as mine..... he sprung for the 5.5x22x56 NF and i spent a week shooting with it...... and life was never the same.
