Looks like a nice entry level NF scope. Although I've purchased all of my NXS series NF scopes for around $1300 used but in new condition. I don't think with their warranty that I'd ever buy one new.

I'll stick with the NXS, but those are a decent deal.

I have a few on order for stock.  Glass is good but the internals and turrets are not as stout.   Mainly brought them in for entry level rifles.  The nxs is still the best bet.

How do these scopes compare to the others in theor price range? Maybe viper pst? Curious as it obviously cant compare to the nxs but wasn't meant to. I dont have a nf but do have a pst and I like it while  know its not a nsx I could not afford that.

Glass is WAY better than the PST's.  Turrets are a little firmer as well. Bummer its only made in the 56mm though.  A 50 would have been better suited to this scope.

Thats not what I wanted to hear...  :chuckle: I sure like my pst and it serves me well. Its not going anywhere. Would have been nice to have the nf option when I bought tho.

At that price point they will likely see there is a demand for a quality scope, with the increased sales they will have. They will likely look for a additional scope at that price point and consider the 50. Makes business sense but we will see.
