Re: Which scope???
From everything I have read, that price range, $1000-$1500 is sort of a dead zone for scopes. Those that are in that price bracket are seen by many as "not worth the money." You may want to save up a bit longer and reach higher.
Your best bet is to find a used Nightforce in the classifieds here on the Hide for a bit more money (perhaps $1650 or $1700). Make sure you do your research and get what you want.

Re: Which scope???
I was told today that this is the best scope for the money any thoughts?

I also looked at their other scopes they seem pretty reasonable. Is this a good company to look at?

Re: Which scope???
There have been atleast 2 or more NF's for sale in the classys on this forum for less than $1500 in the past couple days. I've seen a couple on long range hunting also.
Yes you can shoot 500 yards with a 3-9 power scope but 5-22 or 6-18 sure helps alot.

I would wait until the Shot show is over. NF is coming out with some new stuff that might interest all shooters. They have made some adds to the scope line.

Re: Which scope???
Got to agree with some of the posts above, 1000-1500 gives you the option to buy a used top notch scope, such as a night force. Figure $300 for rings and bases and you are up around 2000 anyways. Are you looking for a fixed or variable scope, have you had the opportunity to look through a USO or Nightforce or S&B scope to see the optical quality. Look at IOR for value for money, although they get mixed reviews. But try to look through some of the higher priced ones before you buy.

Re: Which scope???
If the Vortex does deliver, it will set a new bar for the others in this price range.
