NF has price controls on all their scopes so you won't find it cheaper at any place.

if you want to find a better deal on an NXS keep checking the for sale section for a like-new one to come on at a good price. Otherwise you probably will find the same prices everywhere.

I kinda thought they had a price control on it, just thought I'd ask around though. I am keeping my eyes out for one! Thanks

Don at Long Range Supply has the same MAP pricing as everyone else but he also throws in free shipping, free batteries, free bonus gear with your purchase like a set of premium quality rings, scope base, etc. Basically the free bonus gear is equivalent to $150. Or you can get a $150 cash bonus credit good for anything other than NF products. Its on his website. Or give Don a call. He will often work with you on the $150 of bonus gear. He has been selling NF scopes for a lot of years with these added perks. Great guy to deal with.

Yeah everyone has MAP, call them and see what they can throw in extra, free mounts?
There is way to get around MAP and not get the reseller in trouble.

Re: Compeditive pricing for NF 5.5-22 x 50 NXS ????
Map Pricing is so BS, but hey this is America and anyone is free to do whatever they want (for now).
Why MAP pricing is BS:
1) Just means there are more deals under the table
2) The tattle-tell-cry-baby-dealer who complains about some other retailer else gets rewarded.
3) Shady guys will get the good price regardless of MAP. A good honest guy will just assume he has the best price because it is MAP. Meanwhile the shady guys deal under the table and get the best deals.
I myself paid way below MAP because I "worked" the system. Yeah maybe it was shady, but this what MAP pricing does, it just rewards shadiness.
But like I said, I am not NightForce, and they have to run their business however they see fit, and they just believe in their hearts that MAP pricing is the right thing, different strokes for different folks.
Sometimes it's better to be blind and not see the world for what it is. I think NightForce prefers to go the "blind route."

You have to take MAP literally. Minimum Advertised Pricing. You just can't "advertise" your lower price.

Bought one here on the hide last year with badger rings for $1600. Like new. Still like new. Buy used here and save tax and sometimes shipping.

Ah, but just wait until the government has to buy some Nightforce scopes. Then you will see COMPETITIVE PRICING.
Even if you already have bases and rings, tell the dealer you need them. They will usually throw them in for free.

In the UK we have laws to protect the end consumer not the company. a company can get fined 10% of its global turnover for price fixing. we have RRP and thats it. and promotional prices can be fixed but they have to be lower than normal prices

Re: Compeditive pricing for NF 5.5-22 x 50 NXS ????
IIRC, the Nightforce dealer agreement goes beyond MAP and states the end selling price of the scope must be XXX. Hence why you see MidwayUSA coupon codes that are valid on everything but Nightforce products

I understand but I am not for any more laws in America, we have way too many as it is...
Yes I know the UK likes to make laws to protect us from us. However, the only person we all should worry about protecting is the idiot in front of the mirror. At the end of the day we have a choice to research the product and determine to buy or not, so why do we need laws for this?
This is America and not Communist UK, a company can operate however it wants as long as they are not killing people. Besides we don't need a anti-price-fixing law because we can take it upon our self to bypass the whole MAP thing by brokering our own under the table deal.
All MAP pricing does is put on a pretty face for NightForce and it works. Underneath the pretty face of MAP, you will find all it does is hurt the true to honest consumer looking for a good deal while encouraging shadiness and under-the-table deals.
NightFoce is not the only company that enforces MAP. There is a reason you have MAP. Companies that enforces MAP do so in order to build a stronger dealer network. They depend on their dealer network to stay strong so it can generate revenue and increase Market Share. This seems to work too, so you can't argue with NF for going this route.
I do agree with you in that MAP is just another name for price fixing. Just ask the Columbian Cartels how much better sales is when you fix price and build a strong dealer network
.
Can you really blame NF for going the route of the Gambino Crime family and price fixing? At the end of the day you will realize it's not about the consumer, and it's ALL about making money so you can't fault NightForce.
Having all the Fanbois populate the forums and tell us how great NF is helps too generate sales too.

That's right, same with Botach and their storewide 10% off sale. Everything except for Aimpoints and ACOGs which must be MAP. Forget about "Minimum Advertised Price". A retailer can even get in trouble for selling below MAP even if he did not advertise it. The manufacturer can pull the plug at anytime.
That is why it is important that when we do these under the table deals we don't ever mention who gave us this deal. We don't want to get these guys in trouble for being good to us. Because MAP loves to punish the good people while rewarding the cry-baby-retailers.

I agree but the average consumer does need protecting from the big companies because their size and power can cause a heck of a lot of problems.
Take a look at Lehman Brothers and the trouble they caused the WORLD!
But in this instance NF are just maintaining their price point and keeping everyones margins as big as possible.

Yes I know the UK likes to make laws to protect us from us. However, the only person we all should worry about protecting is the idiot in front of the mirror. At the end of the day we have a choice to research the product and determine to buy or not, so why do we need laws for this?
This is America and not Communist UK, a company can operate however it wants as long as they are not killing people. Besides we don't need a anti-price-fixing law because we can take it upon our self to bypass the whole MAP thing by brokering our own under the table deal.
All MAP pricing does is put on a pretty face for NightForce and it works. Underneath the pretty face of MAP, you will find all it does is hurt the true to honest consumer looking for a good deal while encouraging shadiness and under-the-table deals.
NightFoce is not the only company that enforces MAP. There is a reason you have MAP. Companies that enforces MAP do so in order to build a stronger dealer network. They depend on their dealer network to stay strong so it can generate revenue and increase Market Share. This seems to work too, so you can't argue with NF for going this route.
I do agree with you in that MAP is just another name for price fixing. Just ask the Columbian Cartels how much better sales is when you fix price and build a strong dealer network
Can you really blame NF for going the route of the Gambino Crime family and price fixing? At the end of the day you will realize it's not about the consumer, and it's ALL about making money so you can't fault NightForce.
Having all the Fanbois populate the forums and tell us how great NF is helps too generate sales too. </div></div>
I agree but the average consumer does need protecting from the big companies because their size and power can cause a heck of a lot of problems.
Take a look at Lehman Brothers and the trouble they caused the WORLD!
But in this instance NF are just maintaining their price point and keeping everyones margins as big as possible.
