How does the Falcon compare to a NSX 5.5-22x56 as far as clarity and repeatablity? Nightforce is awesome just wish they had the H37 reticle.
Rifle Scopes Horus Vision Falcon???

no

Re: Horus Vision Falcon???
Didn't figure it would come close. H37 would be nice for multiple targets under time pressure in competitions.

Re: Horus Vision Falcon???
I can't say for sure that the Nightforce scopes are any stronger than a Steel tubed Horus Falcon???.Horus Vision says on their website that the Falcon has never failed on the Battle Field.Maybe someone here on SH has a testimony of failure to tell us?
I have both Scopes NF 5.5-22x56 and HV Falcon and like them both.I must admit that Nightforce scopes are TUFF.One day I was shooting prone from the bed of my pickup and needed something.So I got up and stepped over my 34lb gun.I didn't lift my leg high enough and kicked the rifle clean off it's rest and the scope crashed over upside down with the full 34lbs of guns weight on it.To make things worse it fell on a big steel plate that I had under the rear bag.I was sickened!and pissed!I had just bought the scope!Thought for sure it was toast.Thank God,it didn't even change POI and has been a fantastic scope.
If you are not in a big hurry,Nightforce is bringing into production FFP HV reticles into their scope line later this year.They may only have the H-25 reticle though.

Couldn't say about that. Plenty have failed in other places, though.

Re: Horus Vision Falcon???
Thanks for the input steve. I didn't about the same thing with my Nightforce. Had it leaned against a counter at a gun shop. Knocked it over on a concrete floor. It fell hard enough that it bent the objective. Went right to check POI and it didn't move one bit.
If it is true that Nightforce is going to offer a HV reticle I think ill wait.

Re: Horus Vision Falcon???
Jeff,
If your shooting with your cyclone can it dont matter.. All I can hope for is you bring the M40 to the next shoot.
I am considering switching to mils at least. Still undecided.

Re: Horus Vision Falcon???
It go good Eric, how be you these days?
I won't dog them to bad... I think still use the reticle, only now in USO scopes.
If you don't have the scratch to get that reticle in a nicer scope, the Horus scopes are not bad. Just don't fool yourself into thinking the high price tag gets you a tough scope, I don't care what they advertise...
The glass is good, the reticles cool, the rest of it is just a Hako scope though.
I still run a Horus Raptor on my wifes rig, she just doesn't shoot enough to justify spending almost 3x what I bought the Raptor for. It serves her well. All she does is tote it to a bench or a mat, and has fun. I like to know I can drag my junk through the dirt and it still perform...
