Thread: nightforce vs sightron

I suspect a lot of the NF cost is in machining that scope body from a billet. Super strong body that, far better than the spun tubes of many other scopes.

Hey Duncan, Im real scared of the dark and im usually on my way back to the hut by then

Haha I should add that we don't buy NF for the glass we buy it for the reliability and dial ability and there they don't let you down

Never had an issue with my sightrons though? Although I have not had much usage with a NF. Is there really enough difference in them to justify the extra cost? Or are we just paying for wank factor?

In the dialing ability and rugged construction - yes - however if you want to be super anal on glass -the S3 wins

I have mentioned this before but here we go again

My 20 moa turn, (hi-speed turret) NSXs have noticably better glass than the 10moa turn ones they replaced

I haven't looked through a Sightron yet to compare them

that was a comment this guy made " if ur nt beating it up in the desert get a sightron ova a nf

im pickn from the comments its just glass and sme features(speed of adjustment etc ) are only differences . i think ill go sightron cause havnt seen bad operational, reliability based comments

So just if 30calterry aka the midget has bought a Rem 700 R5 300 win mag and wishes to shoot a deer not a bit of paper or steel at say 1000 mtrs to kill it and eat it there actually is not a lot of good advise as to which scope to buy. Not to be forgetting that he also can shoot rabbits off his deck at 440 mtrs with his old rig Save up and buy nightforce or buy sightron ?? It ain't gonna be a range gun it will be an in the field gun and the little short bugger is actually pretty good shot early enough in the day IE minus TUI what's the call sightron or nightforce. .?

Does he want to hunt with it or have the option to club fur seals with it too.

Ha ha na we don't club them any more how bout you ??? N Where's best place ?

You asked and I gave my opinion
Wait for the new NF
You no how you said those binos are better? That's how I see the difference between these two

Thanks Brads. Thats a good call Are they they really that much better ?
Now all we really need is the opportunity to look thru both it's a blimmin hard call I'd say Sightron and mod the gun more but only cos I know the midgets a really good shot I'll keep you posted which way we go.

Yep in the meantime I will keep telling them where ther shots are going he he
