Just placed my order tonight with Scott from Liberty Optics.
In less then 10 minutes, the transaction was done, and my scope should hopefully be here by the end of the week. Very friendly service, look forward to ordering from him again in the future.
I've been going back and forth trying to find my first higher end scope, and narrowed my decision down to the IOR 3.5-18 50mm, or Nightforce NXS 3.5-15 F1. I went to my local gun store, and had a very lengthy discussion with one of the guys there, and he went home, got his personal rifle with the NXS equipped, so i could check out the glass quality. I was really impressed with how much better it was then my current Leupold Vx-iii.
But the decision also had price to factor in, as well as availability. It seems many places were back ordered on the NXS, and the price was also several hundred dollars higher then the IOR. Everything i've read states that the glass quality is at least on par with nightforce, if not better, so in that aspect i am glad. If the scope performs as well, with tracking and repeatability, then it will be kept and used for a very long time.
Overall, i am a satisfied customer. I will post pics when it gets here.
Rifle will be getting in the next few weeks
new scope,
nightforce 20moa base, bedded to action
lapped bolt face
btw its a remmington 700 PSS .308 since i realize i did not mention it earlier.
