[QUOTE="cohunter14, post: 1061961, member: 55580"] You have gotten a lot of good advice here already, but here is my two cents: if you have unlimited funds, then by all means, go buy a NF. Obviously do your research ahead of time and make sure you buy the one that fits what you want. The caveat I will throw out there is if you only have $1,800 to spend right now, you probably want to go shoot the gun first and see how accurate it is. Make sure you don't need to put more money into it to get it accurate enough. The great thing with scopes is that they can be put on different rifles, so if the Browning ends up not being the right setup you can change it to another rifle of choice. But if you have to buy another rifle, that isn't cheap either. The other thing I would tell you is make sure the NF is the scope YOU want and you aren't just buying it for the name recognition. For example, I probably won't ever put a 5.5-22x56 NF on a rifle that I am lugging through the woods for miles on an elk hunt. The weight just isn't worth it for me. And I also have a hard time beating up a scope that is worth $1,800, but that's just me :) [/QUOTE]
