Nice!! Appreciate all the wisdom everyone.
What's hilarious is when you talk to store people they are all about the major brands(vortex, Leupold). When you talk to people who actually use it and hunt, Nightforce.
Just pulled the trigger at Sportsmans, they even let me use a !0 percent off coupon. not bad.
Thanks again

Gun counter guys can get kickbacks for selling certain brands, particularly at big box stores. So they push those brands even if they're not the best for the buyer's use case or just a garbage product in general. Some hilarious stories in the thread below, and some concerning ones...

I never take a gun counter employee's opinion as fact. I'm sure there are some knowledgeable ones out there though.

Yeah those gun counter guys are weird. Handling oiled metal all day without gloves...I think it's seeping into their brains.
So anyway. The problem with getting a Nightforce scope is that afterwards, you will want everything to be at least as good as that scope.
