Anyone seen the little blurb in the Dealer Packet about how Nightforce military scopes are not available to the public. What is the difference between a commercial NXS and a military model?

I would be interested to hear about this as well. I didn't know there was a difference.

lol, people getting upset?
to my knowledge the navspec ones are only tested more rigorously, who knows what else.

Knowing the Government, there's a shit ton of certifications, sign-offs and other paperwork that more than doubles the price......

Re: NXS Commercial Scopes
I don't know the exact details, but the 2.5-10x24 models for the SEAL SPRs went though something like 6-7 hours of extra testing. Those had some marking on the bottom of the scope.
If I recall correctly the marking was something like "NAVSPEC" and it was 6-7 hours of salt water exposure.

Re: NXS Commercial Scopes
I have seen a nighforce mil spec scope and it had a reticle that is not on the nightforce website and is marked mil-spec on the bottom of it.

Re: NXS Commercial Scopes
They have a few Reticles that are different also.
It's probably a blurb leftover from when zero stops were LE / Mil only.

Re: NXS Commercial Scopes
Maybe he bought one thinking it is mil-spec but isn't?
You can still find mil-dot, MOA adjustment and zero stop 2.5-10x24 around if you look hard enough.......some are being sold as being the same spec as mil issue scopes (but this doesn't necessarily mean they are issue).
Unless I was planning to spend hours immersed in the sea, I wouldn't stress too much.

I could care less. I love my scope and am not worried about not getting service if it ever breaks down. NightForce has awesome customer service.

As for zero-stop originally being LE/Mil only, maybe NF saw the light and realized how unusable a Compact NXS turret is without it.

A few years back a very high-speed low-drag U.S. special operations group ordered a batch of scopes from Schmidt und Bender with Horus reticles and MOA adjustments.

Who cares as long as the quality and reliability remains as high as it has been. I love both of mine.
