You are correct. We all have our opinions, and they aren’t wrong until an opinion is rooted in unwillingness to learn or recognize that there may be a better way.Everybody has their opinion, you believe in your methods, and I have mine. Good as time as any to leave it at that.![]()
What part was nothing? The poaching case, or a company aligning themselves with someone like that?Nothing burger.
I'd really like to see something with only 3x magnification in FFP with absolutely nothing on the vertical crosshair, and .5 mil wind holds on the horizontal. Something like 4-12x40-44. The lesser magnification, 3 instead of the more common 5 allows you to make a reticle that is usable in the entire magnification range with FFP. Also, the wind holds shouldn't be more than 3 mils(because that takes you to wind holds in winds you should never be shooting at animals) and then really thick lines outside that to help with using it on the lowest magnification.Doubt it. The RS1.2 2.5-15x44 is definitely better as FFP with 15 on the top end.
If they made a RS 1.2 2.5-10x44, that would definitely be a compelling SFP option. That would definitely give the little NF NXS a run for its money!

Copy, I feel differently but that’s what’s good about consumers, there’s a lot of usThem choosing to sponsor them.
What they did is on them, not Nightforce. Nightforce is a company in business to make money. Muley Freak has a large social media presence.
It’s not like they are condoning what they did.
I’m not forgoing what I feel is the best tool for my applications because of something like this.
FWIW, I never knew who Muley Freak was until the thread on Rokslide popped up. I don’t follow them or their content so there is no bias on my part.
Explain why you think high magnification and SFP are a bad mix. I'm curious.
Ouch!Maven all the way. Nightforce makes some great scopes, but I don't own any anymore. The NF rep in my area doesn't understand customer service or how to talk to customers. That's a deal breaker for me.
Why not use a spotting scope for that?I assume you have never tried to determine if a bull elk is a true spike out of a group of spike bulls @800 yards going through the trees or is that large 2pt mule deer have eye guards over 1 inch at 600 yards.
As previously mentioned, the reticle subtensions are only accurate on max power normally. So if you are shooting below max power (and if that power is 15+ you definitely should be for FOV purposes), all of a sudden you have some more math to do to figure out your wind hold.Explain why you think high magnification and SFP are a bad mix.

OP, I just went through this choice yesterday and chose the Maven.
