The last NXS 2.5-10x scope I ordered from NF (in 2023), I was told the scope was in "limted production" and it would take 3-6 months to get one. The scope was shipped in 4 months to the day. The NX8 I just ordered is supposed to ship in 30-45 days. No one at NF said they are completely...
I voted no. However, I am very happy with the NF NXS 2.5-10x scope. I have them on my four "serious" lightweight hunting rifles. The size and weight is good and it fits neatly on both my two Barrett Fieldcrafts and my wife's Kimber Montanas. FFP would be nice but any distance shooting would...
Not true. An outfitter I have used in Wyoming for elk bans Nosler ballistic tips (it is on their website). The weird thing is the guides use Bergers in their rifles. It didn't matter to me because my wife and I use accubonds for elk.
7mm-08 is great hunting cartridge. My wife uses it (in a suppressed Kimber Montana) for both whitetail deer and elk. She took a cow elk last trip at 420 yards. One shot and the Elk just dropped. A Tikka T3x in 7mm-08 would be an excellent choice.
My elk rifle is a Barrett Fieldcraft (18 inch) in .308 Win, with a NF 2.5-10X and a Rugged Radiant suppressor. I have a Silencerco Scythe TI sitting in prison that will go on this rifle when the government sets it free. My hunting load is a 165 gr Nosler Accubond w/ a healthy dose of Varget in...
A 7mm Remington Magnum is really overkill for the type of hunting you do. In fact, due to recoil and ammunition costs, it makes it harder for a new shooter to get better.
My father bought me a Win 94 in 30-30 for my 11th birthday. The first deer rifle I bought.for myself was a1980s Winchester m70 F.W. in 30-06. I still have the M70 but have moved on to smaller cartridges (.257 Roberts, 6.5 Creed.) for deer.

The best value in scopes today. The easy button is sell everything and get a Tikka T3x in 6.5 creedmoor plus the Trijicon scope. Otherwise, sell the 30-06 and upgrade the scope on the...
