In that case, why not go directly to the S&B? Unless I'm missing something here..?? :confused:

I mean, I really don't see a reason why one would pick the NF if they're that close in price... Well not true... The NF is the latest and greatest. :D

That true, I ask him to rotate the elevation knob on the scope, and there is 2 roration, only 13 moa each rotation.

NOT 13 MOA per rotation.... It has 33 MILS of elevation and 13 MILS of windage adjustment, and the elevation travel is 10 MILS per rotation.

I liked what I saw at SHOT ito the Vortex 4.5-27x56 - I am good friends with some of the guys at Vortex, and believe me, they did not hold back on designing it to be a great scope. Funny, I was not all that impressed by the new Bushy's.... Maybe too many people handled the ones at SHOT, but I just didn't think it was great. Each to his own I guess...

I saw the new vortex gen II at wholesales sport, 2 weekend ago, when the rep went through, and I can tell you that the new genII tube are not made of aluminum, it made of lead, very heavy, glass seem to be very nice, but it hard to tell indoor. it would be very hard to compare to S$B by just looking at indoor, you need to have both side by side and compared at a longer distant, I really doubted if it on par with S&B, with the price that it asking, I would rather pay a few more hundred of dollar and get a S&B. I did ask the rep how many MOA that model had for elevation, it got 60moa only.

I am with you on that call, great resale and if one ever hade to sell. It will sell and loose less $$$ in the end and if push comes to shove it will sell as $ is $

Check out Sightron also- EXCELLENT optical quality on the one I just got from Mystic. And while I haven't used one yet, one dealer I spoke with said to stay away from the B.E.A.S.T- apparently NF has been having a hell of a time with them.
