Well, I finally ordered the NightForce scope
Oh the pain! Lot’s of freaking bucks for a scope and rings etc. Thank God the gun is paid for!
As an aside, I emailed a couple of the online retailers and asked why I should buy from them since the scope cost the exact same amount regardless of where I purchased it. The only reply I got that was from an actual person was from a fellow at Optics Planet. He explained why the price is the same everywhere (NF pressure) but he also offered me upgraded shipping (and came through after the order) and a deal on a fantastic night vision conversion that I will buy from him right after the lottery decides I need money!
The scope and accessories are all back ordered. Apparently NF is doing a decent business despite the economy. I wonder if that is due to military orders or folks getting ready for the revolution? 😆 😆 😆
I saw a sniper show the other night. The Canadian that broke Carlos Hathcock’s record for longest kill used US ammunition and the “identical rifle” appeared to have a NF scope on it. Regardless of the scope, what a shot! And…how fucking stupid do you have to be to have a bullets land near and not run like Hell? Thank goodness we’re fighting morons.

I also must say, I think my hyper-accurate beauty looks better. 😀
The best stuff is always defined that way.
Low drag low, velocity, big mass… Amazing round but ultra expensive to produce.
Which leads to ultra-mega-super duper-insanely-incredible-holy crap-wow expensive to buy. 😆

That’s the intervention there. Civilian version runs at about 13,000 bucks last I heard. I didn’t get one. 🙁
Sound good, that’s a nice scope dude, let us know how it work once you get a change to play with it.
Don,
That was a typo, should read 5.5-22. BTW, why would I want to put this scope on some inexpensive PB? 😆 Anybody can shoot those! 😛
Knife, the way I hear ti, those Zeiss lenses are really made with cheap ass Meopta Japanese glass. 😆 😆 😆
That longest shot was about a mile and a half…no big deal! 😯
Hi Jerry,
I am unable to find the scope you mentioned with 25x magnification, are you sure they made 25x magnification scopes?
The only thing I found is 22x and 32x or others. can you post a link for that scope?
Thanks Lama! Looks like a M200? That’s a bad ass gun!!!
Mount that scope on 1 of this handsome boy, look k1ck a$$
Speaking of ammo design, has anyone followed the technology? It’s all about managing shock waves and preventing shock waves. It’s amazing how two bullets almost the exact same weight can have hugely different long range results based on a tiny little transition from curve to flat…
The last great thing I seen in Powder burn rifleswas when I was in the Army, The .408 CheyTac. They claimed .408 CheyTac could shoot 2,400 m with out a problem. Never got a chance to test it before I got out 🙁
Jerry, the camera behind the scope works just fine. Or at least mine does. ———————————————————————————It’s a Sony with ZEISS Lens! 😆 😉
Good for you Jerry!
Make the Bill c notes, I can use a few. 😉 Looking forward tuo the review 😀 Your going to love-it!
The Canook had to use US Ammo to get the job done! 😆 😉
No- Not the Cobra. That was a all day chess game he had to play. 😈 Right thru the scope! 😯

Hi Jerry, Have you actually looked through this particular NF model before ordering it? I have one too (except for the 50mm objective) but it will not focus down to less than 50yd., even on low mag, let alone 10 yd. I got it for my predator PB. I am so surprised to see you getting one for an airgun.
Edited : sorry Jerry, I made this comment before reading your other post saying that you will be shootiing at 100-200 yd. You are gonna love the NF. The only thing that I am not thrill about is the eye piece rotates with the magnification change making use of a Butler Creek cover a nuisance.
