Any agencies in the Washington DC area using the Nightforce NXS 3.5-15 F1 MLR scope? We are looking at acquiring a couple for our team and would like to meet up with an agency that is already using them.
 
Re: Nightforce NXS 3.5-15 F1

Check with Norfolk, Dam Neck, there are guys there who use NF F1 scopes.

I would recommend getting the F1 with the MLR2 reticle, a bit better with a FFP scope than the older MLR.
 
Re: Nightforce NXS 3.5-15 F1

Any idea when the new MLR2's will be out?

Our NF F1 scopes with MLR2 reticles arrived today... friggin sweet scopes. I rushed out, mounted the first scope on my Werewolf here at RO and couldn't be happier.

The MLR2 is about perfect, plus 3-15X FFP with High Speed Turrets, the scopes is here to stay.

Here is a brief article I wrote last year on it. Frank did they make any changes to the MLR2 from this one (ie, numbering, full or still just center illumination)? I sent NF a couple suggestions after testing this one. I really like that the one MIL lines are 1 MIL in length, easy to see them even down to 3.5x. Mark

Re: Nightforce NXS 3.5-15 F1

ok one of you vendors please drop me a PM with a price, damn it frank is goin to make me spend money
 
Re: Nightforce NXS 3.5-15 F1

Frank,

Could you post photos of the reticle zoomed down to one of the lower power ranges? I plan to order one of these in the next couple of weeks and I am debating on either a SFP or the F1. I really do not shoot matches or movers as of yet but it is something I wuld like to do one day.

Also did NF make any changes to the reticle per the review that was done earlier this year?

The F1 would probably be a lot easier to resell and it retain most of its value so that is what I am probably going to go with.

Thanks,

Bill

They sure did!!!

I ordered mine with the H-58,HS,ZS.Seems like the glass is even better than a friends older NXS,SFP.

Size,weight,elev travel combined with HS,ZS and new reticles leave this scope with little to be complained about now.
 
Re: Nightforce NXS 3.5-15 F1

No, and I am glad they didn't take the changes suggested into account. The only numbers are on the vertical at 5 and 10 mils... I hate "numbers' down the reticle...

I will post a picture.

Here is some pictures of the MLR2 production model... my camera is bit big to get great shots, but they are pretty good to see.

Re: NF NXS 3.5-15 F1 (MLR2 reticle pix)

Nightforce did a very good job with this one! I really want one for myself.

We have been told next month but we will see!

Re: NF NXS 3.5-15 F1 (MLR2 reticle pix)

Thanks so much Frank that is all I needed to see I will order one of these in the near future.....
 
Re: Nightforce NXS 3.5-15 F1

Looks great, thanks LL.

<span style="font-weight: bold">The NSX 3.5-15X is really a 3.5-14X zoom...</span> small detail, but I wish makers would state the real zoom ranges.
 
Re: Nightforce NXS 3.5-15 F1

When I did my write-up last year, I really liked all the features, including the numbering system.

Its a very clean reticle. I like it open on the bottom and like that the bars on the side are not solid black. Its so nice to look through this reticle. I also like the USO GAP, so I would have been happy either way regarding the numbers.

My main suggestion to NF was about illuminating the full reticle instead of just the center, since I got negative comments about that from people who used it in December. I don't do a lot of holdovers at night, but lots of guys said that limited illumination would be a deal breaker for them, hence my suggestion back to NF.

It is a very nice scope, one of my all time favorites.
