Thread: scope decision

Im pretty sure the OP specified that glass clarity was the main consideration when asking for people's opinion. However, I completely agree that once you get to S&B, premier etc level then glass clarity is more subjective than objective.

LJP - I don't think NF scopes are rubbish by any stretch of the imagination. Mechanically they are every bit as good as a S&B. They are also very forgiving and easy to get behind like you say. However, despite what you might read, especially on US forums, the glass is not in the same league as the S&B, Zeiss etc. Its good but not great.

The other thing I will say is that the NF and S&B are BIG and HEAVY scopes. They can create a horrible balance on light weight hunting rigs. That's why I got the March in the first place.
