NightforceNXS 8-32x56mm F2 30mm Tube Black Hunting Gun Scope - ZeroStop Parallax Adjustable Second Focal Plane Long-Range Shooting Scope, Moar - 20 MOA Reticle (C437)

I was impressed by this scope when I took it out of the box, but I wanted to get some range time with it before I wrote a review.I waited a while before actually purchasing it, not because I didn't think it was a great scope but because that is a lot of money toshell out for a scope. I did my research on it and knew it would be great, well I finally purchased it and WOW! After it was deliveredI went to my garage and set it up on am makeshift stand (I did not have the mount yet). I sighted it down my driveway on a bank across the road from my driveway, by the way the distance is 90 yards. I dialed the power up to 32 and adjusted the parallax. I sighted on a dandelion and Icould clearly see the individual petals on the flower, if a bee had been buzzing around it I would be able to see it clearly.I received the mount a day or two later, I would highly recommend a quality mount. I went with the nightforce x-treme duty ultralite unimount. I spent a lot of money on the scope so I wasn't going to skimp on the mount, I would suggest that you do the same.Range day: I am fortunate enough that my father owns a large piece of property and a hunting cabin, so I have built and use my own private range. It is currently 300 yards but I am working on extending it to 600 yards. I zeroed the scope and began working on my steel targets. I set up three sillouettes at 100, 200 and 300 yards. If you haven't shot on steel targets then you are missing out on something great. I am hooked on steel.My targets are set up on brackets that slide over and lock on steel T-fence posts and are attatched to the bracket by a grade 8 carriage bolt. I couldsee the grade lines in the carriage bolt at 100 yards. At 300 yards I could clearly see the bumps on the front side of the posts.I was dialed up to 32x and the size of the 12"x20" target in the scope was large. Like I mentioned earlier I could not only see the post, but thedetails of the post at 300 yards. The scope dialed in quickly and very precise and I myself only shooting at the top 4"x4" projection of the target.I would like to point out that I am not shooting some high dollar custom precision rifle, it is a Remington model 700 VLS heavy barrel in 308. Theonly thing that has been done to the rifle is a trigger job. I was rewarded with sub MOA groups at 300 yards. I quickly discovered that if I shot high on the 4"x4" section of the target, that it would rock back and slide down to the bottom of the post. I found this to be a fun little game and repeated it several time at 100, 200 and 300 yards.The bottom line is, yes this is an expensive scope. I was worried that it would not meet with my expectations and after spending $2400 on it and the mount and that would be tragic. If that is your concern I assure you that this scope is worth every penny. It is very well built and the optics are amazing. The scope can take a lot of abuse as well. watch some of the nightforce torture test videos on youtube.I saved up for this scope for a while and I know if will serve me well for many years to come, probably a lifetime.Thankyou to the folks at Nightforce for building a high quality product, I look forward to many more range sessions. Thankyoufor reading this long review, if you are anything like me then you do a lot of research before buying.THIS SCOPE IS WORTH THE MONEY!!!The best advice I can give is buy the highest quality equipment you can, even if you have to save for a while, that goes for anything.Quality doesn't cost, it pays.

I returned the damaged product for this product and 4 month have passed and still no refund.The disgraceful result of buying in October and returning in November, December and January.This must be Prime member privileges

Good lord, it's a Nightforce. It's one of the best scopes on the market, no question. Beats nice Leupold or Nikon scopes all day. I shrunk my groups from 1/4 MOA to 1/8 MOA when I switched from a high end Steiner (which I still love) to this scope. Keep in mind that if you can't shoot consistent sub MOA groups, there are much cheaper scopes out there that will hold a zero year after year. Even ones you can dial for range and windage.The customer service is great. I had a quick question about setting the zero stop (which is a fantastic addition) and they walked me right through the issues. These are real people who love what they do.The lighted reticle was set a bit bright for me, but it's a simple adjustment inside one of the turrets. It's certainly not field adjustable, or at least adjustable in the heat of the moment, but how much do you want to worry with something like that when you're trying to shoot?I'd buy another one if I ever have another gun that shoots this well. I've got 4 sub MOA rifles, but only one that could benefit from this quality of scope. For the others, that Steiner is great (best scope I ever owned before this one) and the other has a Weaver classic v-series. It's not the greatest ever, but it holds a zero year after year.The glass is clear, but I'll refrain from adjectives like "amazing" or "crystal", because those things should be a given on anything over $700. Hopefully your not paying for clarity, although this glass is top notch, when you buy a $2k scope. If you are, spend a grand a get a Swarovski. They're clear and hold a zero.If you need truly top tier optics, go with nightforce. If you need the best long range optic, go with this NXS (for hunting and recreational Shooting, at least). Their other models are less expensive, but I truly don't think you're paying for a name with these guys: just quality and support.

its a nightforce, what can i say. the scope is as expected, military grade. boxing/packaging is unimpressive. wish it didnt cost soo much to get the best

If you know anything about rifle scopes, you know that night force is the premier, top-of-the-line product available. The clarity is unparalleled. The durability is unrivaled. But they do weigh a lot!

So far so good. It’s my second Nightforce now and my other is 5 years going strong. They always see better than my eye naturally can. I’m red/green colored blind and can see colors so much easier through these. No problems with the product being a knockoff. Also, I believe some people are thinking Japan is the knockoff and then calling it Chinese. Uncultured swine. High price that I wish Nightforce would drop some, but always worth it.

If you like getting scammed buy this product right this second I promise you'll regret it just like I did if you dont believe me feel free to dm me on Twitter @Jccruz96

This is an excellent scope, i have no regrets purchasing this item, i was reluctant at first, glad I took a chance with this item.....
