Night force NSX for hunting

[Weaselthis]

Another vote for NXS.....5.5x22x50 MOAR SFP Zero Stop. Used for years as a dedicated competition scope without ANY complaints & now on a sweet little Stiller/Brux 7-08 hunting rig. Like the EverReady batteries......it's still running.........

The NXS 2.5x10 is an excellent hunting scope, light, tracks well and retains zero, I have two of them. IMHO you can't go wrong with the NXS.

I have one and love it

Is that a pre-fit and/or a quick change barrel in the wooden box?

Yes the barrel on the rifle is a 6.5 prc prefit and the one in the box is a 300 wm prefit or vise versa

What action did you go with and how do you like it?

I use a Zermatt Origin long action. It is a great action and would buy another one without hesitation.

I had a great experience with NXS.

I have been using Nightforce NXS units for years (6 in total the 5.5X22-50 is my go to), both at the range and in the field. The moar reticle is a great hunting crosshair. I have never sent one back for remediation or repair and they are extremely repeatable and dependable, gathering plenty of dawn and dusk light. You won't be disappointed!

Did you ask the salesman if he's ever used one to hunt? Otherwise how would he know?

unfortunately, I found the salesmen not to know to much outside of what makes them the most commission.

Which model are you interested in specifically?
Definitely quite a few available for certain "uses".

I ran a 5.5-22x56 for a while. The scope is as dependable as it gets. But all that length is a negative for light transmission. I had the old NP-R1 reticle if I recall.

5RWill just reminded me, I ran the same 3.5-15x50.
It's on a well used 7RM in retirement. Good optic.

We have two 3.5-15x50. One SFP and one FFP. They're old but honestly solid. Right when I got the NXS i took it out next to our Zeiss V6 and favored the NXS in low light and resolution.

Really like the 5.5X22-50 with the MOAR-T reticle.

 

[waspocrew]

Great scopes, I have the 5.5-22x with MOAR-T and have no issues. The illumination isn't as good as the NX8, but I rarely use that feature anyway.

NF is one of the most durable and reliable scopes money can buy. NXS glass? When it comes to hunting if you can't do it with NXS glass it's probably waaaaaay outside legal shooting hours.
