Rifle Scopes What happened to the BEAST

[Bender]

I almost see no mention of the NF BEAST. What happened? Guess I’ll go google it now.... backwards, I know.

 

[Mordamer]

What happened to the B.E.A.S.T. is that Nightforce released the ATACR F1 line of scopes. Simplified mechanics, equal optics, lower price...

Not to mention a plethora of other scopes are on the market that get the job done for $1,000+ less than what the B.E.A.S.T. costs.

Just my opinion.

Awesome scope. I had to get a tt though, so sold the beast to help fund the tt. The beast was definitely nice.

 

[Supersubes]

Because a game changer it wasn’t.

I'm a Night Force user but never understood the BEAST
Out of friends I have that bought one, only one still uses it.

 

[jLorenzo]

I understand the fine tic lever but never saw the need, just added complication to make the scope seem hi tech. I would love to have one don't get me wrong but I'd rather have an ATACR F1. With the Beast, For the money I would buy another scope and other stuff

 

[koshkin]

The lever on the turret never really caught on. It works well, but it seems that the consensus was that it was not worth the extra money over the more conventional and similarly excellent ATACR F1.

I'd like to pick one up in a TReMoR3 used if came accross one at a good discount, which i know makes no sense but have always thought the scope kinda unique. In fact my one friend that still uses a BEAST has the TReMorR3 reticle.

 

[Mute]

Still an excellent scope but given it's price point it has some very stiff competition and from less expensive options that are just as good.

 

[g3ninfinite]

it’s an ELR military oriented scope. i don’t think it was ever supposed to catch on per se. 20 mils in a single rev. probably the best for what it designed for.

I've only seen one in person. A good friend of mine has one. Really good scope based on my limited experience with one.

Is he in Cheyenne? I would love to just look at one and finger it without having to buy it dinner.... lol this is why scopes are better than women. I’m some ways.... lol

 

[JMGlasgow]

Yes, he is in Cheyenne.

 

[Bender]

I need to get out more.... lol

 

[Steel+Killer]

I had one of the first BEAST with the MILR reticle when they first came out I paid $3,200 for it from Midway USA. I had it for over two years it is/was a great scope I just never got use too the .20 MIL adjustments then use the lever for the other .10. Luckily for me the price of them went to $3,977 I sold it for $3,100 with a SPUHR mount so I don't feel like I took to big a hit.

 

[dbransco]

I think it is highly underrated. Depends on what you are using it for I suppose. I absolutely love the .2 mil adjustments. It makes it so much easy to know where you are and when making adjustments. Some don’t even use the .1 mil lever. I use it and have never had an issue.

This is the truth.

Hi Bender, I'm the good friend ( I think). I have one of the first one's in the wild, I personally LOVE the .2 turrets. I never find myself using the lever at all. It is just a faster system and I love to Bracket targets so the concept works great for me. Also love that I can dial 1 mile with 0 moa built into the base or rings. I sold a S&B to buy it and I'm glad I did.

We need to get together on a Saturday at Otto some time, I know you guys do Sunday but I’m unavailable on Sundays. I would love to just look at the BEAST lol. Way more scope than I’ll need.

 

[Bender]

I was just out there today at 12:00 lol maybe it was you Shooting indoors?

 

[KWilson]

I took one look at the elevation turret and couldn't stop laughing, it's that large you can hide behind it.

 

[dbransco]

^ he’s got turret envy ^

I wish it was me, I have not been to Otto Long Range for a few weeks, been too busy shooting carbines and pistols on the weekends

Large turrets make up for some other less large things...
