I have been thinking of putting one of Night Force's more power full scopes 30+ plus on me bench rest 22. Will these scopes focus down to 25 and 50 yards? I was told by a few people they will not. Andy advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Re: Night Force Power
Umm...dude...the mirage gets pretty bad above 22x and if you need 30x for 25-50yds, you don't need a higher powered scope. You need an eye exam and maybe should consider getting bifocals.
With my NXS dialed back to the lowest power of 5.5x, I can see the 25-50yd and the target fills the entire FOV.

Re: Night Force Power
Obviously neither of you have ever seen a .22 benchrest target. You need some power to tell what score ring you are in. Anyway, the OP was asking a question and it wasn't "What power scope do I need for shooting 25 and 50 yards?"
If no one answers, I will check next time I go to the range whether my NXS will focus at those ranges. I have never tried it, as my .22 has a fixed 32x Mark 4 on it!

Re: Night Force Power
These are not designed for 25 - 50 yard shooting and would be total overkill. Plus I'm almost positive they won't focus below 60 / 70 yards on high power... You'd be better off with something like an airgun field target scope - high power with the correct focusing at these ranges.
This is one that Falcon does:

That is correct, at least, I certainly haven't.
To the OP...check this link as it will give you an idea of what you're looking at as far as pricing, power, and for what reticle choice.

Re: Night Force Power
I had a 12-42 nxs a while back and when I was at 42x at 100 yards the target was always blurry. I'm not sure about the br model nightforces they might but I have never messed with one
I'd recommend a leupold comp for what your looking for as they will focus at close range.
