I am blown away by this scope; you have to see it in person to really appreciate it. It's too bad NightForce has decided to drop it from their product line.
Pros: Great glass, adjustability, ruggedness
Cons: Heavy
Would recommend: Yes

Great scope, it should work well for hunting situations. Very easy to mount and zero in. The windage and elevation adjustments work flawlessly.
Pros: Very clear and the MOA adjustments work perfectly
Cons: For long range target shooting 15x isn't quite enough for my eyes
Would recommend: Yes

I really like this rifle scope. The R1 reticle is clear, lit, and very easy to use to estimate ranges. The scope is built like a tank and the picture is bright, without distortion. Parallax adjust is quick and intuitive. Using this on a Rem 700 Tactical SPS in 308, I am getting sub MOA groups at 200 yards for the first time for me.
Pros: Excellent Optics, Intuitive adjustments, excellent eye relief, bright image, large selection of reticles
Cons: Expensive, Large
Would recommend: Yes

I highly recommend this scope. The resolution/clarity is spectacular. Yes, it costs as much as a mortgage payment but you'll never have to buy another scope; it carries a transferable lifetime warranty. Over the years I've bought many scopes (in the $400 range) only to have them eventually break or rattle off zero. I have it mounted and zeroed on my Colt Competition HBAR flat top via the NF Unimount. With the Unimount (and the NF torque wrench), I can easily swap it to my other picatinny rail AR plateform rifles (with adjustments for each rifle's zero noted in my Range Book) and be on target in minutes. At almost 2 lbs, this is NOT a short, light weight scope but it shouts quality and it DOES perform.
Pros: Lifetime warranty, super resolution and clarity.
Cons: None
Would recommend: Yes

i recently purchased this scope and mounted it on a 416 barrett. this scope tracks exceptionaly well, the glass is probably the best i have seen. i shoot 1500 plus yards with this scope and havent run in to a problem yet. a little expensive for most shooters but definatly worth every penny!!
Would recommend: Yes

This is an amazing scope! At half the price of a comparable Swarovski (due to current exchange rates) this scope will allow a good shooter with an appropriate rifle to learn to shoot accurately beyond 1,000 yards while also having a low-power setting for hunting the timber.
This scope is heavy as scopes go so it's not appropriate for a lightweight carry rifle, but on a Remington Sendero or anything similar, it is perfect. The added weight also helps tame the recoil of otherwise abusive rounds like the .340 Weatherby or the .338 RUM. If you are looking to set up a big game hunting rifle with long-range capability, this scope is one of the best places to start.
Pros: Precise and adjustable from 20 yards to beyond 1,000 yards
Cons: May encourage shooters to take shots they are not qualified for.
Would recommend: Yes
