Re: finally broke down and bought some good glass
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: SubXerO</div><div class="ubbcode-body">i am thinking about getting a NF prob 5.5-22x56. I have a really nice scope now, but it is more than i need...well i need the money more than the scope.
Never held a nightforce, assume there is a difference in glass between NF and some of the higher end PR's S&B's, Hensoldt's ect... but other than that how do they stack up?
I like FFP but will probably have to cut costs here and go with the SFP </div></div>
If you don't need the ruggedness of the NightForce....Sightron S III has glass that compares very favorably with NF. I can tell you that NF glass is good, as well as Sightron S III and Vortex... but German glass seems to be the best for my eye, IMHO....I've had both BR and NXS models of NF....both are very good. But, for me, IOR and Premier have been the best scopes I've experienced.
I'm probably going to sell my NXS 5.5-22x by 56mm to help fund a scope with German glass. Not that I have any complaints about the NXS....it's been a failsafe scope.
