Hey guys, I need some advice & guidance. I am putting together my Spring NF order. Having only become a NF dealer this year not really sure what we should go heavy on and what to avoid.
Can you give a bit of help? What should we make sure to always have on hand and what should we not bother with?

Right now we have a decent inventory of:

NXS 2.5-10x42 Compact ZeroStop - MIL-R Illuminated

SHV 4-14X50 F1 FFP - Mil-R Illuminated

SHV 3-10x42mm SFP - Forceplex

SHV 3-10x42mm SFP - Forceplex Illuminated Center

and a couple of the:

ATACR 7-35x56mm F1 - ZeroStop - .1 Mil-Radian - DigIllum - PTL - Mil-C

NX8 1-8x24 F1 ZeroStop FFP - FC-MIL Illuminated

We also have 1 demo of a NXS 5.5-22x50mm - ZeroStop - .250 MOA - Illuminated - MOAR

What else should we carry?

Thanks in advance.
Doug

ATACR 4-16x42 versions seem pretty popular as well Doug.

Might be giving you a call soon about one of the 2.5-10x42's..

Speaking of the new NF @Ryan Avery , what are your thoughts on the FFP reticles being usuable at minimum mag on those scopes? I have my first NF otw, a 4-16x50 ATACR SFP. I wanted the x42 F1 but got worried about being able to use the reticle even in good light without the illumination on. I just don't see walking around with the illumination on and keeping a pile of backup batteries on hand being a viable solution. I hope I'm wrong though, I would love a 2.5-20x50 NX8.

I worry about people that say it's not a concern. Because it is with most FFP scopes especially while hunting in dark timber, and not all shots in dark timber are close. I hunt in several areas where I could take a 200+ yard shot under the canopy and its damn near imposable to see an FFP scope on the bottom third of the mag range when not illuminated. This is why the X5 is still my first choice for LR hunting.

The SFP 7-35X56 looks nice and the new NX8's
Ya I tend to think the FFP on the low power is useless for me
