Nightforce NX6 Lineup

[Mike D Texas]

What scope/reticle are you using?

Edit - I looked up the FML1 and the thin crosshairs appear to be the same 0.07 mil as the SWFA 3-9 so I don’t think I would have any trouble with it. The TMR reticle is the one that is too fine for me.

You have to be thinking of the PR1 or 2 reticle. The TMR is almost too bold at max magnification.

No, it is the TMR in the Mark 5HD 3.6-18 that I am talking about. The thin lines on it are too fine for me at low power to be useful without illumination in the woods. Just a .02 mil jump to .07 mil makes a big difference at low power. I guess it would cover up about 2.5 inches at 1000 yards though.

From memory, Bushnell's stated weights for the LRTS and LRHS lines were not accurate. I think I made a post or two here a few years ago that gave weights for the three different models I had.

[And you mentioned you regretted getting rid of your 3-12. If from your username, you're in NZ, feel free to PM me: I sold one to someone here who may want to part with it, so I could put you in touch.]

I don’t have my LRHS2 mounted on anything so I weighed it today and got 27.8 ounces/788 grams (I was thinking it was around 28 ounces). My 3-12 is on a rifle so I can’t re-weigh it right now but I am pretty sure that it was within 1.5 ounces of the LRHS2.

Edit: I just looked up the post by @Dobermann and it confirms what I remembered about the 3-12. He had 26.4 oz/748 grams.

Ya I'd be real happy with that. I have 2 of the original LRHS 3-12's and that scope would be awesome with the THLR reticle.

I would too ... though mine weighs in at 26.4 oz / 748 grams.

Apparently, the LRHS2 was done specifically at George's request, so I guess that's the cloest contender we have to a precedent ...

My 3-12 weighed 680 grams

Hmm. That is quite a difference.

Hmm. That is quite a difference.

hmm ... now you and @pathnz have me intrigued, so I looked up my notes from a few years ago:

LRTS 3-12
Stated weight: 27.3 oz / 774 g
Actual weight: 26.56 oz / 753 g
With sunshade: 27.65 oz / 784 g

LRHS 3-12
I didn't note stated weight, but think I have the Bushnell catalog saved if anyone really wants it.
Actual weight: 25.75 oz / 730 g
With sunshade: 26.74 oz / 758 g

Not sure that I recorded a weight for my LRTS 4.5-18 and it's currently mounted.

Bushnell advertised the 3-12 at 690 grams and mine was slightly under that.
