5.5 X22X56 Nightforce NXS Velocity 1000 Reticle

[Desert Fox]

I have been patiently waiting for MOAR Reticle to come out by July but I cannot pass a good deal when I see one. So I ordered the HVM version that matches the ballistic profile of the 300 grain SMK for my 338 Lapua Ackley. The scope will be here next week and I'll will post the result of my test here.

JD, This will replace the 6.5X20X50 MK4 TMR that is on my 338 at the moment. I like the versatility of the scope. I can use either the reticle or the dial if I wanted to.

They are kick Azz for sure.

I just wish they were not that heavy.

They make good backup's for close quarters!

 

[FOTIS]

As a club? :wink:

Loved it on my 375 Snipetac though.

Might build another one.

How's the rifle shoot Fotis. I haven't seen any report of you shooting the rifle. Did I miss it.?

 

[FOTIS]

Actually I sold it unfired. Someone made me an offer I could not refuse!

 

[IdahoCTD]

It's too bad you didn't get to test drive it first.

 

[FOTIS]

He wanted it NIB

 

[Desert Fox]

Well, got it mounted and zeroed today. Need to test drive this baby at long range.

 

[SJB358]

That looks really good DF! Nice!

Somebody, Randy I think, was telling me I had too many toys. Well, maybe, but DF has much cooler toys than I do.

The NF scopes do look intimidating. I've shot quite a few of them. They are clear glass, that's for certain; and they will take a beating.
