[QUOTE="esshup, post: 993051, member: 11101"] Marble, when I was trying to decide on a caliber for my LR rig, Kirby had me shoot a few different ones. The different calibers had different scopes on them, and that is where I got my first look thru a NF scope. One gun had a Leupold Mark 4, the others had NF. When adjusted to the same power as the MK4, the NF (to these eyes) was a lot clearer and I could hold the crosshairs more precisely on the target. I think it all depends on the distance that you will be shooting. Do you need a NF when big game hunting at <500 yds? I don't think you "need" one. (want might be a different thing tho!:D) Heck, shooting a gun that was unfamiliar to me, at 600+ yds, with a 10x MK4 scope, the first 2 shots (cold bore and next shot) were 2.5" apart. Good enough to kill a deer at that distance. Would I have that 10x scope on my LR gun for 1,000 yd shots? Nope. I have Leupolds on 95% of the rest of my hunting rifles. I also have a few Simmons and a stray Burris on a few that are used for under 300 yds (down to about 10 yds - pellet guns). Am I happy with each scope that I have? For each scopes intended use, yes. I went with a NSX 5.5-22x50 NP-R1 w/Zero Stop on my LR rifle, and it's zero'd at 300 yds. I've run it out to a bit past 1300 yds, and I'm very pleased with the optics. Even at that distance, I can spot my own shots with it on 22x. [/QUOTE]
