[QUOTE="IridiumRed, post: 2670616, member: 24315"] There are some really good deals out there on used scopes too. [B]I just picked up a NightForce 8-32x56mm Benchrest scope, excellent condition, for $785 + S&H. thats a LOT of scope for the money. [/B]Only has a few small cosmetic marks on it (not even ring marks, just a few slight dings that took off paint, but didn't make dent.... This is the 3rd NF i own now (other two are 5.5-22x56mm NXS's). I wanted another scope, something a bit cheaper than the other two NF's... something I could have on a backup / other rifle, that was still a really nice scope. The benchrest models are bigger, heavier than the NXS's, and lack a couple of features, like parallax adjustment knob by windage / elevation, and have older style covered turrets with less adjustability than newer tactical scopes... only 50 MOA. But, for the application i'll use this for, those items wont matter, and i appreciated the extra savings more than those lack of features will ever bother me.... [B]I saw several of the big NXS scopes (56mm objective), used, excellent condition, for sale 1200 to 1300, and a couple included decent quality rings for that price. Thats also a lot of scope for the money too![/B] I haven't taken the 32x out to the 1000 yard range yet (just got it a few days ago), but I have a feeling that when its hot & steamy (i live in the midwest), that above 22x mirage is going to be an issue.....
