Rifle Scopes NightForce Assistance

[gr8fuldoug]

Hey guys, I need some advice & guidance. I am putting together my Spring NF order. Having only become a NF dealer this year not really sure what we should go heavy on and what to avoid.
Can you give a bit of help? What should we make sure to always have on hand and what should we not bother with?

Right now we have a decent inventory of:

NXS 2.5-10x42 Compact ZeroStop - MIL-R Illuminated

SHV 4-14X50 F1 FFP - Mil-R Illuminated

SHV 3-10x42mm SFP - Forceplex

SHV 3-10x42mm SFP - Forceplex Illuminated Center

and a couple of the:

ATACR 7-35x56mm F1 - ZeroStop - .1 Mil-Radian - DigIllum - PTL - Mil-C

NX8 1-8x24 F1 ZeroStop FFP - FC-MIL Illuminated

We also have 1 demo of a NXS 5.5-22x50mm - ZeroStop - .250 MOA - Illuminated - MOAR

What else should we carry?

Thanks in advance.
Doug

Anything with the Mil-C should sell well I'd think. That 4-16 ATACR is a awesome little optic and the 7-35 is a monster. I've never really seen anyone carry them online, but that TS-80 is pretty awesome as well.

The ATACR’s in MilXT

Hello Sir. As a shooter than owns one and LOVES it, I’d say don’t forget the ATACR 4-16X42. That’s a gas gun extraordinaire scope. I run that on either my 5.56 KAC LPR, or my .308. The 50 is the new hotness, but the 42 has been popular for a LONG time.
Just my opinion.

Have you used the 50mm ATACR and been able to compare it to the 42mm and could provide insight to the differences? I love the 42mm and it's one of my all time favorites and was considering picking up a 50mm but recall Terry Cross posting something with the differences being rather slim and favored the 42mm more.

@gr8fuldoug the 4-16x's with Mil C and the new NX8's that are expecting to be released this summer.

This^^ Another 4-16 will be my next purchase, this time in XT

NF doesn’t provide guidance as to what sells better?

Not sure what kind of customers are your most frequent. Hunters who like cheap and/or moa or hide members going for higher end.

I’d imagine the shv and atacr line would be the two best sellers.

Doug there is a new line of NX8s (2-20 and 4-36 or something like that) that you should DEFINITELY plan on having few of each on hand. They feature everything the ATACRs do but have a 30mm tube. The 2-20 is only 12" and 28oz

Yes, NF has a list of their top sellers, however, being a long standing supporting vendor here, as well as other forums, I thought I'd reach out and get some feedback from the folks we interact with on a daily basis.

I have not shot, or spent any time behind the 50mm. No one I know even has one to mess with.

Speaking only for myself and my current plans, my next large purchase will be a 4-16x42 in Mil-C, C588. The Zero Hold turret is a major selling point for me and I love the Mil-C reticle.

I also plan on getting a 2.5-20, and maybe a 4-32, provided they prove out and I like what I see when I get behind one.

It would be my pleasure to work with you on these scopes.
