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.

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.
