Nightforce NXS
Hey all:
I could sure use some help here! I am a bit confused after looking at various websites regarding the NXS series of scopes. I was considering the following versions of the Nightforce scopes if they are in fact offered this way. 5.5-22x50 NXS Zero Stop NP-R1 Illuminated recticle not sure on .250moa or .1 Mil Radian? suggestions would be nice. 8-32x50 NXS Zero Stop NP-R1 Illuminated recticle .250 moa or .1 Mil Radian? 3.5-15x50 NXS F1 Zero Stop NP-R1 Illuminated recticle .250 moa or .1 Mil Radian? If anyone knows if these configurations are offered online i sure would appreciate the link. Been looking on www.opticsplanet.com and the top heading says illuminated recticle, go to the middle of the page where you can select the options and i cannot find these scopes offered with an illuminated recticle with Zero Stop. Any help or clarifications would be appreciated! TIA

I'll give a quick response now before fallsing asleep. All NXS non-bench rest Nightforce scopes come with an illuminated reticle as standard.
All NXS non-bench rest scopes come with zero stop as an option. All NXS series scopes come with turret adjustments of 1/4 MOA or .1mil rad adjustment. Optics Planet may only list some options available.

Thank you for the clarification my friend.
What click ratio do you prefer?

What is your primary use for the scope? What rifle?

LMT308MWS, targets at the range & hunting at around 50-150 yards. Thinking about the 5.5-22x50 or 5.5-22x56 with zero stop. But which would be better? .250 MOA or .1Mil Radian?
I've used 1/8 and 1/4 what's the difference with .1mil radian? I know there is a premium for .1mil radian and could make a better decision if I knew the difference. TIA

This is a really complex topic, and I'll try to point you toward some information so you can make an informed decision about this expensive purchase. Background reading: http://demigodllc.com/articles/pract...ing-equipment/ http://demigodllc.com/articles/intro...le-scopes/?p=1 My opinion: Your stated use (close-mid range shooting) is not a good match for any of the scopes you have listed, unless you will be trying to hit minuscule targets (2-4"). I would go with a red dot or a 1-4x optic for 50-150 yds., and at most an 8x top end. Those high mag scopes are for 1000+ yard precision shooting, varmint, or benchrest. You need a low mag, wide field of view for 50 yards. I strongly prefer a matched reticle and knob system, so I can range, holdover, and correct in the same angular units as my knobs (mil/mil). A mil/moa system makes no sense to me unless you are so used to moa that you do the calculations in your sleep. I'm happy to answer more questions as needed, and to recommend particular optics if you like. Cheers

I agree completely with iGun on this. Magnification really isn't needed at this range unless the targets are small. A 1-4 zoom or a ACOG should allow you make easy hits at inside of 150 yards.
Irons are another viable option. I was making hits (offhand) on an 18" target at 150 or so (the battery in my rangefinder died) yards with three different battle rifles yesterday. I forgot to add that zero stop is mostly helpful for very long range shooting. It makes it easier to return it back to zero after turning it multiple full rotations. Mine doesn't have it.

If you are in the market for a $2k optic, here's a possibility:
http://www.elcansightingsystems.com/...ole_sights.php I have an Elcan Specter DR 1-4x in 5.56. It was worth every penny. The 1.5-6x 7.62 optic looks like the perfect match for what you are planning on doing with this rifle.
