I have a couple NXS scope and rate them highly. The NX8 should be more of a good thing. I hope they end up making hunting friendly ones.

I have one Nightforce scope. Got a good deal at one of the gunshows by the Nightforce lads, through one of the dealers present.

Mine is a 1 - 4.5x or thereabouts on my Valmet double rifle in 9.3x74R. It is illuminated and has some sort of "tactical" reticle that is supposed to be good at close range, with horizontal bars and a small circle in the centre, illuminated. Plus some other crap, but minimal compared to a lot of "tactical" scopes. Works well enough on a double rifle. I do prefer German No.4 reticle or post and cross hair reticle usually.

The Nightforce scopes suffer IMO from their reticles. Too many tactical wannabee reticles.

Nightforce/Lightforce is a good company, its headquarters is in Adelaide, about 20 kms away from me right now.

I would consider one of these on a classicly styled double rifle. Maybe more affordable than the expensive German and Austrian scopes.

But the Nightforce scopes purposefully ggo for that "tactical" styled look. Maybe a bit smoother and classier looking. Would be hard to put one of these one a classic styled side by side double rifle.

As Ahmed577 said on a different thread about a Swaro vs Leupold, , a Leupold also isn't quite right on a H&H.

But with these scopes becoming ever bigger and bigger, 34 mm tubes, on the big variable Nightforce, Swaros, Zeisss, Leicas S&Bs etc, a lot of them are so top heavy and possibly unbalanced on such fine rifles.

I am not sure a scope has been made that looks "quite right" on an H&H..

Agree with you, a Leupold certainly does not look correct on an H&H, but have to say, I ahve owned them all --Schmidt/Bender, Swaro, Zeiss, NF, Leupold, Burris... by and large, have shot more rounds through my CF rifles with Leupolds attached to them than all the others put together..yet, I have had all of them fail with the exception of the SB and Nightforce... 2 Swar's and 2 Zeiss...1 Leupold that was on a 300Win Mag for about 12 years or so..

I had a Leupold VX3 on my 300RUM... took that rifle/scope combo to Africa 5 times..scope was always on ..switched it to a Swaro, have to adjust it every time I get somewhere now... dumb ass, I should have left it the way it was... IMHO, NF is one of the toughest most durable scopes you will find anywhere..with very very good glass..

My reticles are the same as the first one Ripp's link shows in MOA. You don't notice the rest of the reticle when snap shooting.
