Without a doubt the best optics I have ever mounted on a firearm. With the pirce of a Nightforce be assured I spent a lot of reseach on high end optics. I talked with Nightforce sales and others. Yes the price is high but like anything in todays world you get what you pay for. Nightforce in my opinion meets and exceeds all areas.

Beautiful, absolutely awesome optic. Zero hold and turret adjustment absolutely rock steady. Two shots to zero at 100 yds. Dead on at 200. Beautiful bright clear image. Parallax adjustment works beautifully. A little pricey but spend once and have something you'll keep a lifetime.

I mounted this Nightforce scope on my Sako TRG 22 rifle and was very quickly pinging a 5 inch flapper on a hostage target back and forth at 500 yards. The velocity 1000 reticle allowed for very fast transitions from 100 through to 500 yards. I am looking forward to taking this to a 1000 yard range in a couple of weeks. I will buy more of these scopes.

Would recommend:  no

Overall this is a really great scope. I purchased this for my AI AE MK III .308 rifle for F-Class long range competition. The scope's greatest strength is its repeatability in adjustments. You can adjust your elevations and windage all day long and it will return to zero. It is build like a tank and much tougher than a lot of scopes out there. The H58 reticle is a very good choice for those who don't want to adjust their scopes for different wind dope or range. However, at max magnification, the reticle lines are a bit thick due to FFP and can obscure some sub MOA target. One thing I do wish for is the glass clarity could be improve it bit. This will help in those low light conditions. The second is the adjustment to the illumination setting is hiden behind the battery cap. You don't want to adjust this in the field. Overall, i am very happy with the scope and would definitely recommend this. It's tough like a tank.

I did not give this scope a full 5 for overall because of the illumination adjustment. You have to remove the battery cover, then the batter itself, to set the brightness. Then put it all back together and see if its right. There is not brightness adjustment on the fly, which I feel is a mistake for a "tactical" scope. I knew this before I got it, so it's no loss to me. Over all this thing is bomb proof and I love the zero stops.
