gaz6br Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Hi Matt I have 2 nightforces 1 on my 6br a NXS 8-32x56 np2dd, and 1 on my 223 ackley a NXS 5.5-25x56 np2dd and i love them both. I think for the money you get a good piece of kit, i know plenty of people who use them and shoot very well with them at some good ranges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattrem700 Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Does it have the right reticle for your requirements , would be my first question.? Hello , It has the NP 2DD Reticle , which im thinking would be a good choice ! I had a mildot on before and to be honest i never used the mildot . Im after a relatively uncluttered reticle . Do people rate the NP 2DD ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the reply, and I agree the only thing that worries me with the 8-32 is the FOV, I used to have an 8-32 bench rest model and I found the FOV dreadfull for fox shooting, so Iam a bit cautious in investing in a 8-32 NSX model and Iam leaning towards the 5.5 ?... Need to try one I guess ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattrem700 Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 What you using the rifle for that your sitting the scope on?? Hi , The rifle is a semi custom 6.5 x 47 lap Im hoping to use it for a bit of everything , long range varminting , fox shooting at night , few target's and for deer . Ive never had anything that mag'd up too x22 , im guessing it will do the long range stuff ok ?? Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
