[QUOTE="COBrad, post: 673615, member: 1940"] Good points here Broz and Hunter. From my experience I am in agreement with Broz in regard to the value of NF. There is nothing else out there in that price range that compares. I would also like better quality glass in my NF, but the only thing I have found that matches their quality, with top notch glass is S&B, and that is what I use on my heavy LR rifle. I have not looked through another scope with glass so impressive, to my eyes. I have had 3 Conquests. All had good glass, but only one had truly repeatable turrets that were calibrated accurately at 1/4 MOA. I have had two NF. I find the glass to be very good, but not S&B good. I recently put a 2.5-10 NF on a light weight .270 WSM. I'll do a lot of field shooting at distant rocks and marmots, and shoot a few big game animals with it each year. When I finally draw that sheep tag here in CO, I want the most reliable scope I can find on it. I also want that NP-R2 reticle for fast range compensation. It works nicely with my G7 rangefinder that expresses solutions in MOA. When I'm out shooting varmints I want turrets that are dead accurate and repeatable. They will get twisted many times over the course of a year and need to work right every time. Nightforce does all of this, and with glass that really is good enough for the task. If S&B made the scope I want with MOA turrets I would have used them again, but NF makes just what I want, and no one else has their features at that price. Are they worth that much more that a Conquest, absolutely, if that is what you need. [/QUOTE]
