Which Nightforce - something like a ATACR 5-25×56 F1? Would that be comparing apples with apples?

I agree with greg and brads. i think second focal plane is better for some applications of long range shooting,

this is the way i see it.

Second focal plane pros finer cross hair at high power, cross hair is more usable at low power (first focal plane becomes very fine)

disadvantages, subtentions in the reticle are only true at certain power settings. ( so for giving corrections ect you need to be on the correct scope magnification)

First focal plane. The subtentions on the scope are always true so you can hold for wind and elevation and the subtentions on the reticle are always true, which is super handy for competition shooting ect, and hunting gong shooting and the like.

first focal plane disadvantages the reticle on high magnification can be a little heavier and on low power can be a little fine. In close quaters hunting it may be hard to see.

Any nightforce is good . NXS is good with the 30mm tube. all the atacr's are sweet. you just need to decide what will work best for you. F1 or second focal plane.

Nightforce seem to have the least warrenty issues comparing to vortex (the best warrenty you will need)

The nxs is in between the shv and the atacr but I wouldn't put the vortex in the same room as nightforce as just wouldn't be comparing apples with apples more like lemons and tammarillos!
