Elwood Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 http://aimfieldsports.com/epages/www_aimfieldsports_com.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/www_aimfieldsports_com/Products/SIIISS10-50x60LRIRMOA I'm looking for a multi purpose scope for long range target work and also sporting use, the NF NXS 8-32x56 and NP 2DD is my first choice but I'm not paying £1700 for one, and finding one second hand isn't going to be easy. I don't particularly like the illumination on the ocular lens of the Sightron and I hate the 1-8 settings even more, I think the system on the Nightforce is spot on, set it up once and be done with it. The 10 power isn't perfect either but at the moment I'm using a NF 12-40x56 so I could probably live with that. But has anyone viewed one? I would interested in opinions on the reticle.

Have a look HERE Ian, they seem to have some decent prices. The NF BR models are good value and well worth a look they are every bit as good if not better than the NXS and they are a fair bit cheaper. My next NF will be a BR model.

c18rch Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Now there's a good idea, side illumination, well done Khales. http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/ Problem with that is the paralax is on the elevation turret. Thats a mistake waiting to happen. Just out of interest what do you use illumination for on a scope that big? I would have though they were pretty poor in low light?

Thanks for the heads up Andy I thought I was on to a winner for a minute. NXS 8-32x56 with NP-R11 £1165 and the same scope with the NP2DD reticle £1445, doesn't make sense to me? If it was an out and out target scope I would consider the BR model, although I'm not a huge fan of 1/8 adjustments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c18rch Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Is that low light like you may experience on a range for target shooting or are you using them for dawn/dusk shooting or even lamping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would I be right in saying that the field of view on the BR models would be much smaller than the NSX models which could be an issue for foxing.

Not at all i use both types of nf scope and theres no issue with sight picture/field of view.i did have sightron 8-32-56 on my 6br for foxing but the non illumunation was a pain the target dot dissapeared when lining up charlie no problems in day light nf scopes give you the best of both worlds day time target work and night time lamp work.

oaken Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Be a little wary, i believe they are a little bit tight for long range elevation. There is certainly a lot less than the 8-32 S3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20series Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Be a little wary, i believe they are a little bit tight for long range elevation. There is certainly a lot less than the 8-32 S3. yes the 10-50 has only 50MOA elevation, I managed to get 45 MOA of usable from my 100 yd zero by using a 20MOA rail which just got me to 1200 with my 308. I've put it on my 284 now. IIRC the 8-32 has 75moa Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatzi Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 I need another scope and im toying with a Sightron 8-32 but im finding spending money difficult as im getting very short arms for my pockets these days. The sightrons offer you a hell of a lot for your money and I will either buy one or go without as nothing else tempts me to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
