[QUOTE="NightforceKen, post: 247674, member: 11937"] [b]Re: Swarovski 6x24x50 or NF[/b] 300, Ok that really did help to clear some things up. I am going to assume this weapon is going to be used for hunting.

Our NXS line is designed to operate with ease on nearly ANY should fired rifle. from a 17HMR on up to a 14.5 Russian, these optics have performed and tracked second to none.

[B]Glass/ Coatings[/B] When you look through a Nightforce scope you see an image that is both, Natural in color and crisp with resolution.

Lets say you are hunting and you happen to see that Whitetail deer you have been tracking for a day or so. You pull out your range finder and attempt to laze the target but due to, batteries, fog or a dull background, you just cannot get a reading.

Your deer is 600 yards away- SEND IT. It does not get much simpler or faster than this. In conclusion, You have the ability to use the same optics that elite military units worldwide are counting on in life and death situations and the SAME scope that is being used to hold more 1000 yard .50 Cal records than any other company. Alot of information, but I hope this helps. Regards, Ken Nightforce Optics [/QUOTE]
