I am a saleman....But I sell pharmaceuticals. I have done my research.
1000 yrd bench rest records have nightforce scopes on them.
Special forces use Nightforce Scopes
Have seen a leupold scope get smashed with a nightforce with nothing happening to the nightforce. We use to hit these on steel posts to make sure they didn't change point of impact.
Ok Ok. I use to work there....I have seen every high end scope known to man. They all change point of impact. Nightforce uses a special bedding compound on its lenses that prevent this from happening. If your only shooting animals at 100-300 yards then your probably fine with just about any scope. If you want the best of the best then you buy Nightforce. If your going to spend over 1k then you should consider Nightforce. If you don't like the weight of the scope then join the gym!!
