Just wanted to say.... in the last three weeks or so I've had my USO I ordered in April come in and today my NF arrive. I am pleased with the NF mostly- it's SFP where the USO is FFP... and I don't care for the lit reticle, only in the fact that you have to take the thing apart to adjust intensity. Over-all both nice scopes, but I will be staying true to plan and ordering a USO after the first of the year... which will replace the NF. I wouldn't hesitate to run a NF, but I like the options, features and ruggedness of the USO.

The NF will likely go to a buddy who started with a vortex crossfire 30mm tube on his LR308B. To which, that NF will be off the charts better.

So point of this post? Just to confirm that I am a USO fan-boy, but to acknowledge the great quality of the NF. Of course- haven't run it through it's paces yet but I'm sure it will perform!
 
Re: NF and USO

I should add, they are both leaps and bounds better than any Leupold's (M3A, Mk4- M1, M2, M3) I've used. Not to say Leupold is junk... but they need to step up their game! Better turrets, more reticle options, better illumination and illium control... and judging by the M2's I've seen... better QC. NF isn't THAT far away on price to account for the difference in what you get.
 
Re: NF and USO

Another -1 for the NF would be the fact that the entire eye piece rotates when you change power. I knew this but had forgot... Don't really care for that. But that's got little impact on usability.
