Nightforce Introduces Reticle Markeplace

[Kyguy]

It's NOT a priority. Hunters have never been the target category for NF. The SHV was their nod to hunter interest, and obviously they weren't selling enough to keep it a viable product line.

I’m going to come off of the top rope on this one - I own several (maybe 10) NF scopes. I happen to love them. As a brand, they are putting their money where the money is - PRS, AR matches, etc. where you can throw a tennis ball and bounce it off of 30 5k rifles.

Use them, or don’t. But why in the world would a company making high(er) end optics listen to a group of guys that think Tikkas were made by the Lord Jesus Christ himself?

I’m kinda joking…kinda…

I think there is need for this hybrid hunter category. Mostly short range hunting shots at low power with high visibility, but need for

Anyway, I look forward to the Rokscope with a usable FFP reticle. The NX6 2-12 looks awesome in all regards, but the reticle is just a killer and I'm not particularly picky. I just want something that can work at lower powers but extends to longer ranges on occassion.

Yeah seems the hunters are unanimous on mpvo mag ranges but the lpvo reticle designs. We want to work in those distances. The s2h crew want to work 800-1000+ so distinction to be made. And they have no interest in reticle solutions there, dial only, which is fine. So for the 0-600 mortals, or maybe realists, less attention paid. I’m guessing if socom or 3 gun etc can and seem to prefer reticle to 600 then that’s the gear I look at more. Bit more emphasis on low light and higher end of lpvo mag range image quality. So s2h reticle only has about 2 mil elevation, 1.5 to tip of fatty by looks of it. Hope the other reticle squares the east west with south then I’d become more interested. No need to dial for me. The scope can have it all, by all means put a locking zero stop turret on it and groovy if swap happy cap options but leave 5-6 mil in the vertical too, not just the wind. Covers everyone. So I’m also out on the reticle they’ve shown so far.

When does shot show start? Isn’t it today? Anything new in scopes and reticles seen yet?

Also totally agree with reticle gets out of way and you see what you’re looking for. Until I got enough time with dmx I hated the thought of tree but at least with that one a non issue. But 20 mil south on new mrx removes any low post support for lower mag stuff so I’m out on that one.

When a $800 Tikka or a $550 Ruger American or even a $450 6mmArc AR is no longer the weak link in your killing setup but your $2000 nightforce is, you change scopes.
