I found a nightforce 5.5-22x56 nxs scope. NO zerostop nor hispeed used. Can anyone tell me what i need to look for before purchasing? Just dont want to get screwed trying to save a bit of cash. Id trust if it was for sale on the Hide..but this is a local guy. Or is it best to save up for the newer model? $1k cash..advise? Thanks

Re: NF
1,000 is a good price. worst case scenario you can send it back to NF for refurb...it has a lifetime warranty.

Re: NF
That is aa really good Deal if it comes with rings too. Buy it as long as it is a true nightforce.

Re: NF
I just paid almost double that for a new 5.5-22x50 NXS, mil/MLR/ZS (without HS turrets) from the good folks at Sport Optics and am very happy with the purchase. I recently asked the same question here about the HS turrets and it doesn't appear that they make a HUGE difference to the function of the scope, but rather are a convenience. Depending on what your intended use is, you may find the lack of a Zero Stop to be more of an issue. Also, you didn't mention what type of reticle and/or turret adjustments that particular scope has. IF the reticle and adjustments fit your needs, $1K is a pretty good deal. If you really are looking for a different reticle and/or turrets for your purposes, you will probably not be happy down the road, even though you saved some $$$ now.

Re: NF
Well make sure the features are ones you want. Personally I would never buy a mil-dot scope, MOA is the way to go. For me.
But otherwise you'll be backed up by any real mechanical defects by NF themselves.

Re: NF
For 1k, I doubt this is a mil/mil. Most likely MOA dials, reticle could be anything. Whatever it is, a 5.5-22 for 1k is highway robbery (the best deal I have seen yet). You should take this scope with no questions asked.

Re: NF
NF didn't make MIL/MIL scopes till recently, if it is indeed MIL/MIL you got yourself a newer scope in which case your stealing the scope from him.

Re: NF
I need to start finding deals like this. But like others have said, give it a good visual check, spin the turrets, check the glass to make sure it has no scratches. If any of the above is found, send it back to NF so that they can take care of it for you.

Re: NF
Sounds like a great deal, hope it works out. I sure wish I could find a few deals like that.

You are very fortunate my friend...have you ever noticed that there seem to be rose petals magically sprinkled everywhere you walk? (LOL). Awesome purchase, enjoy it!

unless you are ranging with your reticle, there isn't much to learn at all. Just dial the correction in according to the POI relative to your reticle. Oh, make sure it is on 22x when you do this. Otherwise, you can shoot at 11x or 5.5x and double or quadruple your readings respectively.
