Rifle Scopes Nightforce or SB

Depends on what turrets on the SB. Pick the reticle that is better to you and go
What's the main use? Seeing those two choices I am guessing matches or just fun long range range time. With those you should also check out the Burris Pro 5.5-30x56 at Liberty Optics. Will save you almost $700 off the NF pictured. You can check out the specs here. Disregard the MSRP.

Yup but just wasn't sure what you planned to do now. LOL And yup if you can find an $1800 NF 7-35 then get that! LOL
Is that the illuminated? Only ask as the ones listed on the site list an SCR-2 reticle in the illuminated versions. The standard XTRs are nice scopes in that price range. The Pros are a little better in glass though. @Birddog6424 any other comments?
You can get it cheaper through Liberty Optics though. Put in cart for price and that is final price.

NEW for 2022!! Burris XTR Pro and XTRIII
The latest exciting new series of scopes from the folks in Colorado are the new XTR III series. Incorporating a multitude of features that today's shooters and competitors want, these highly anticipated scopes promise to deliver the goods with a price tag that makes sense in today's economic...

Without even talking about glass quality, etc, it's really not a fair "vs." argument because the scopes are so different in style and features; many of those choices come down to personal preference so there really is no "better" one. A more fair comparison will be possible fairly soon when Nightforce comes out with FFP.
Right now, if you want SFP with MOA clicks you're going to want the Nightforce regardless of if its glass is as good or whatever because it'll just fit you better. If you want FFP and prefer .1 Mil clicks, single turn knobs, etc, you wouldn't even consider the NF. Not yet anyway, let's see what their FFP looks like--it might steal some S&B sales!

Can't go wrong with either IMO. I have had multiple variations of both brand of scopes. And still do run both brand of scopes. Ultimately it's going to be down what you are looking for in a scope and the type of shooting you do. At this point, I'd pick the reticle you like and the turrents (turrets) and go with that.
I love my SB PM2 US. I didn't understand what "alpha glass" meant until I got it. That said, the nightforce is a phenomenal optic and I don't think for most people's use case you are giving up a whole lot by going with a NF instead of something like a SB, ZCO, TT, etc. For $2,500 new I am taking the ATACR all day.
Just got scammed by MK7 for an Amp 2 Annealer, he has since been banned. USPS is investigating it as well.
That price is below the discount price and below dealer cost.
If it's legit, buy, buy, buy!
That first screen shot is from Expertvoice. If NF or EV sees that they are not gonna be happy with somebody.....

It’s legit, but OP is risking his chance to buy stuff like that by posting the price. The rules for that site are plain and simple.
That sucks man, I am sorry to hear. I hope they get things straightened out for you asap. Sad to see these types of bad actors in our community.
Yeah it was sad he had 1 review but it was removed shortly after my conversation with him and he had pictures of him with his id and the id next to the annealer so I thought it was legit.
