[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 488270, member: 4809"] I love my Nightforce. I used to have two of them. One was (and still is) mounted on my 277 Allen Mag w/McMillan A5 stock. Complete set up weighs around 13 lbs. The rig feels well balanced and "right". My second NXS was mounted on my 6.5-06 AI w/Manners Ultralight stock. The Nightforce on this lighter rig just never felt right. The gun was top heavy and never balance right. The Sako A7 is designed as a lightweight rifle. Additionally, the forearm of the stock is not a wide, flat beavertail design, so a heavy scope will not balance well. No question the the NXS is a great value for the money spent, but IMHO ot just doesn't seem to "settle in" on the lighter rifles. I would buy a high end Leupy and put the rest of your dollars towards a used Swaro bino or rangefinder. [/QUOTE]
