So I have one arriving tomorrow with the Mil-XT reticle. Will be going on a comp/range toy. Help my confirmation bias by telling me the good (and the bad/ugly) of the NF.

Create a channel Learn moreI have the 5-25 ATACR enhanced and love it, ive also heard great things about the 7-35, is it that much better than the 5-25? For ELR doesn’t more magnification mean less internal adjustment? ThanksI’ve had mine for several months now. I’m not using that reticle, but the reticle doesn’t matter as long as YOU like it, and it fits your needs.
I should say this: I have almost one of each ATACR NF does. From the 1-8, to the 7-35, all in F1.
I have shot several local PRS style matches with my 7-35, and I love it.
I usually set it at 15x or so and run everything from that power range. But, it sure is nice to crank up the power on a KYL stage, and REALLY see where you’re at.
I absolutely love the scope, and have zero complaints. The glass is fantastic, and the scope definitely inspires confidence in the way it’s built, and the way it feels. Parallax isn’t especially picky, and neither is the Eyebox.
Mirage does become an issue here in Vegas when it’s 113*, but that’s not the scopes fault.
My buddy has the Leupold 7-35 MK5. He and I spent some time behind one another’s glass. Both of us could see the difference in the NF, and could see where the $$ goes between them. The MK5 7-35 is a damn nice piece of glass, the NF is just a step up in clarity, color, etc.
if you are a NF fan, the 7-35 will absolutely not disappoint you.
I still love my 5-25, but the 7-35 is on my match gun now.

I personally think it’s one of the best scopes on the planet.
Wow... that looks really expensive.
NF is saying the 7-35 has 100moa or 29 mils of internal adjustment. The 5-25 has 120moa or 35 mils. So yes, on paper, you lose some adjustments. In reality though, folks are getting more than 29 mils on the 7-35. With a good 20 moa base, I’d wager the 7-35 should give around 18-20 mils of adjustability. On my 6.5CM, 20mils gets me to 1660. I can hold in the reticle and hit 1mile (1760).
I guess it comes down to the extra couple mils of travel, or the extra 10X on the top end. It is 100% up to what your uses dictate.
Did you notice a significant difference in glass and parallax quality?I recently sold a TT 5-25 and purchased my first NF being a 7-35 F1 mil c a few months back. Im running the NF w a EraTac adjustable mount. 100 yard zero w 34.9 mil available.
