    Got the new NF 2.5-10x42 Compact mounted up and trying it out. What a great compact scope !

    I have ran the 32mm version for years with no complaints at all. The new 42mm is loaded with great upgrades for sure.... Of course the new 42mm front objective, Side parallax adjustment, power throw lever, New Digillum digital illumination with choice of red or green illumination and NV compatible, high speed turrets, Zero Stop... just to name some.

    Looks great. I am considering that scope for a similar build.
    Any idea what your rifle weighs without bipod, sling and stock pack?
     
    Damn! You're really creating trouble for me. :) +1 on what Buckey asked. Where'd you find it?

    Beautiful country, nice rig, and a sweet little hunting optic. I can see my wife rolling her eyes already when I try and justify this.

    Thats beautiful! Where was that photo taken?
     
    That is the best hunting rifle setup I have seen in a while.

    Makes me want to get a build going.....

    Can't wait for the scope review.
     
    whats the specs on the rifle itself? barrel contour and length? stock?

    10lbs with or without bipod?

    And are you sure Pat and George will let you keep hanging out with them if you're using MOA knobs? grin....
     
    Commenting on the rifle and the scope...That "IS" the ultimate hunting set up there, isn't it! Nice!

    Hey a few questions for you Scott.

    Does that muzzle break have the holes all the way around it? I have MB on one of my rifles with the holes all the way around it and it always showers me with dirt, LOL. I always have to grab my trucks passenger side floor mat to put on the ground. Those floor mats are a pain to hike around with all day you know, wink, LOL.

    That sling looks nifty, what's the scoop on it?

    My NF 2.5-10x24 is a keeper. Haven't felt the need for FFP below 10x anyway. I can see how the new 2.5-10x42 would be a great hunting scope, even has side parallax!

    Oh...I was up in southern WY in may near Alpine camping on the Grey river. That country makes Northern AZ look plain jane in comparison. I might retire up there someday.

    yes, the Vias brake does have holes all the way around. I just keep the wind at my back ! ;)

    the sling is a Montana Sling. Made by my good friend Pat Sinclair from here on the Hide.

    really notice and like the Parallax out past three and helps even at 200
     
    Looking at photos like that make me truly hate suburban California. :(
     
    Have been looking at these since they had everything I felt the 32mm didn't.

    Are these finally in stock or was this a preorder and they are finally filling those?
     
    Nightforce 2.5-10x42 .... This is what was missing !! :)

    Deleted: Double posted for some weird reason.

    Can't wait for these to hit shelves. I'll be taking my 32mm NXS off and putting it on an ar.
     
    answer some PM's

    illumination control is a breeze on this scope ! it is located on the side of the parallax adjustment, it is the tan colored NF button.

    easy to turn on and off, change colors and adjust brightness
     
    Sendero:

    What are your thoughts on the Talley LW alloy 1 piece rings??

    Never used them before & thinking of trying them, but have some concern over their strength/durability!!
     
    I plan on putting a NF 2.5-10x42 with MOAR on my recce/SPR 600 yard and in gun. "I" don't need or want any more magnification, weight, larger tube size and heavier and higher 34mm mount , huge turrets or more bulk. Also, the MOAR'S .140 MOA main line substensions will be about a perfect compromise for my 20/40 shooting eye vision in low light and at 600yds. I will be using an Aimpoint H1 in some type of offset mount as my backup and 0-100yds sight.

    As for MOA vs MIL. in scope ajustments, for me Vern Harrision, owner of Central Virginia Tactical and a Vietnam combat sniper veteran and master trainer sums it up pretty well.

    The issue was which was better, mil/Moa/matching, question was posed to him. Vern referring to MOA/mils is primarily relating to the knobs. "I read a lot about speed and hear a lot about it as well. I hear now you have to have large ergo knobs and mil on mil. Truth is when a sniper has laid there in his firing position, usually for a good while, he has mapped out his field of fire. He knows his yardage or meter) out to every position in front of him. This should hold true in an urban position as well. If he's in a city he will still have a grid he's responsible for and will sketch out his field of fire. Knowing this he should be able to dial on target in no time.

    Here at school we have timed several students dialing with either mil or moa turrets. If you know your scope it's literally tenths of seconds differences between the two. The shooter will take a lot more time in his trigger prep than he will in time it takes to dial his turrets. In a Military application the spotter will call elevation and windage, while the sniper preps for the shot. Either way it takes very little time to dial to a target.

    Do I think Mils are faster? No. I've seen teams here using moa be on target faster then teams using mils. Why? Because they knew their equipment better. Knowing your equipment is everything.

    So I teach, whatever your going to use, know it well. Real well. I ask my students to go home and practice laying behind the scope, locked in and using the dope they got here to dial in while dry firing. Get use to dialing while your head is down in the cheek weld. Know inside out up, down, left and right. You would be surprised at the shooters that don't know left and right on their scopes.

    I'm very comfortable with either. Why? Because I have to teach both. However, being old school I still believe in one shot one kill. Not one shot adjust and second shot hit or third. I still believe in precision and with that I want to be able to dial as close to my point of aim as possible. That's why I prefer moa.

    That is a silly reason to choose MOA. I guarantee you can't shoot that difference in the field. Mils are more universal. That's why one is best in knowing them. Not because they are faster.....well unless you're doing math, which you shouldn't be anyway.
     
    Got the new NF 2.5-10x42 Compact mounted up and trying it out. What a great compact scope !

    I have ran the 32mm version for years with no complaints at all. The new 42mm is loaded with great upgrades for sure.... Of course the new 42mm front objective, Side parallax adjustment, power throw lever, New Digillum digital illumination with choice of red or green illumination and NV compatible, high speed turrets, Zero Stop... just to name some.

    Wow, SD! I'm not sure which is more beautiful that rifle or the landscape.

    What a great place to have shooting access, you're blessed for sure.
     
    I plan on putting a NF 2.5-10x42 with MOAR on my recce/SPR 600 yard and in gun. "I" don't need or want any more magnification, weight, larger tube size and heavier and higher 34mm mount , huge turrets or more bulk. Also, the MOAR'S .140 MOA main line substensions will be about a perfect compromise for my 20/40 shooting eye vision in low light and at 600yds. I will be using an Aimpoint H1 in some type of offset mount as my backup and 0-100yds sight.

    As for MOA vs MIL. in scope ajustments, for me Vern Harrision, owner of Central Virginia Tactical and a Vietnam combat sniper veteran and master trainer sums it up pretty well.

    The issue was which was better, mil/Moa/matching, question was posed to him. Vern referring to MOA/mils is primarily relating to the knobs. "I read a lot about speed and hear a lot about it as well. I hear now you have to have large ergo knobs and mil on mil. Truth is when a sniper has laid there in his firing position, usually for a good while, he has mapped out his field of fire. He knows his yardage or meter) out to every position in front of him. This should hold true in an urban position as well. If he's in a city he will still have a grid he's responsible for and will sketch out his field of fire. Knowing this he should be able to dial on target in no time.

    Here at school we have timed several students dialing with either mil or moa turrets. If you know your scope it's literally tenths of seconds differences between the two. The shooter will take a lot more time in his trigger prep than he will in time it takes to dial his turrets. In a Military application the spotter will call elevation and windage, while the sniper preps for the shot. Either way it takes very little time to dial to a target.

    Do I think Mils are faster? No. I've seen teams here using moa be on target faster then teams using mils. Why? Because they knew their equipment better. Knowing your equipment is everything.

    So I teach, whatever your going to use, know it well. Real well. I ask my students to go home and practice laying behind the scope, locked in and using the dope they got here to dial in while dry firing. Get use to dialing while your head is down in the cheek weld. Know inside out up, down, left and right. You would be surprised at the shooters that don't know left and right on their scopes.

    And he is wrong. Its not the dialing that saves time, its the calculation. A base 10 is always going to be faster and easier to scale in your head then trying to convert inches. Couple in a MOA turret with Mil retticle, and you can enjoy that chineese mind fuck.

    He belives in 1 shot 1 kill? Well thats all find in lala land, but in reality , that always is not going to happen.
