Thread: Scopes for Long Range Shooting in NZ

FWIW IMHO The glass in the Swaro X5 is better than a NF NSX & possibly better, (depending on your eyes & bias) than a later ATACR but the NF is a more reliable & robust scope.

I think the key there is our own Eye bias as you say Greg
The glass on my new Nightforce is certainly way ahead of my X5 ( let's not mention the swaro dial)
It's good to see nightforce have uped there glass game let's be honest it's been average for a few years.

The latest models are called the nx8 line.
As in 8x magnification.
The three models are a 1x8 ,
2.5x20x50 and a 4x32x50.
All first focal plane with ed glass (better)
Lighter than the nsx and come standard with the great tenabrex covers.
They also have a magnification ring and power throw lever as it has gone away from turning the whole ocular assembly.
Ground breaking when put altogether in a smaller lighter package with their three R's
Rugged reliable and repeatable.

I'm really looking forward to seeing on of these in the flesh, part of me doesn't think NF can pull all this off for the MSRP they are posting.
If they do pull it off, this will be the ultimate Jack of all trades, Master of all!

I hopefully can get some rrp pricing early next week.
I will endeavour to bring a couple to the toby shoot for those that would like a fondle as will be be buying the 4x32x50 and will be looking hard at the 2.5x20x50!
