My first Nightforce

[Gillis2]

Hi all,
Been shooting for about 3 years precision rimfire bench rifles (At first CZ'S and now Anschutz). So far, I was sticking to Sightron SIII scopes which I find of very good quality. Now I am waiting for a centerfire (.308) rifle, a Rem 700P which is being upgraded ( trigger etc.) and will be put in a Cadex chassis by ATRS. For this new experience, i decided to try a Nightforce scope. I just bought a (like new) 8X32X56 on the EE and I received it today ( thanks to a very nice CGnutter) and I will try it on my new rig. I'll keep you guys posted in a few weeks when I receive the rig. from ATRS

Thanks for reading me

I bought an SIII for my Ruger Precision. I toyed around with the idea of a Nightforce. I'll be interested in hearing your thoughts on it vs the Sightron. Have fun with it...I'm a little jealous

You won't go back

Congrats. I'm thinking about splurging on a NF scope this year. Time to stock up on cases of KD from Costco for lunch and dinner.

Thanks all for your encouragements. Quigley don't feel bad. No matter of the Nightforce performance, Sightrons SIII are VERY good scopes. I have 2 of them and think highly of this brand. I just wanted to experience the Nightforce.

Nice scope Gilbert! A bit heavy, but like it was said above...you won't go back! Nice choice.

I bought my first Nightforce 8 months ago ( NXS MIL-R 5.5-22). Love it so much I bought a SHV MIL-R 4-14x50 F1 for my RPR and seriously considering selling my VX-3 long range varmint to fund another. The glass is awesome and the tracking is on point.

I looked at the SHV for my Modern Hunter. Looks like a great scope. I already have a FFP bushnell, so I'm gonna use that.

I have an SHV on my M.H..

Nightforce are ok but they have one major downside...

You will have a very hard time buying a lesser scope from now on!

Owned 2 NF before purchasing an equivalent SIII.

Used the SIII in competition last year and thought it did just fine for $1000 less money. Still have all of them and am considering another SIII for another competition rifle.

You will enjoy that nightforce , they are great . Also feels good to have one as there is not much better then nightforce and Schmidt & Bender. Two best rifle scopes in the world

That's the worst part.

Which one is better? NF or Schmidt and Bender?

Get whatever fits your budget better, I personally would stick with the S&B. But i'm a bit of a brand whore.

Yep, lol.

I have the older NXS 12-42x56 on the same Remington Police 700.

You will not be disappointed friend.
