You the phone hacker?!

Yea post em up

I had my first peep through a Nightforce a few days ago. Not sure which model, but it had a 50mm optical lens.
This was the first time I had looked through a high end scope, and have to admit that until that moment, I had wondered how the cost was justified.
It took about 5 seconds for me to understand.

Eww a 50mm one you should look through a good one

It may not have been top of the line, but compared to anything I had seen before it was amazing.
An English visitor was surprised to see scopes with smaller objectives being used for hunting here. He reckoned 50 was the minimum up his way, and 56 was commonplace.

Different hunting though ...

They don't have hills like we do.

Good little report, thanks for posting it up Brads, nice to see the old NF nsx still holding it's own against some flash & expensive competition

Erm, I think they do. Not as many trees on them, but some pretty big country all the same

See that bushy beat out a niteforce and an s&b and was less than half the price....

Lived there for two years. Saw nothing remotely comparable in height to the Southern Alps or even the Ruahines. Swizterland, yes. UK, no.

The highest mountain in the UK is Ben Nevis at 1344m, a mere 2400-odd lower than Mt Cook.

Bro that's not a standard trophy series for $300

Never said It was, but thanks for assuming im stupid. It was still one of the cheaper scopes at 1900$ and beat scopes 3x its price.
