I have a Elite 6500 4.5x30x it is a great all arround hunting scope, and about $600 cheaper and just as clear as a Nightforce. Unless you are jumping out of planes or planning on driving nails with your scope a Nightforce is not needed on a hunting rifle. JMO.
You have no idea what you are talking about. It has the same glass as the 4200, which is in no way shape or form anywhere similar to Nightforce glass. That said, I agree with a Nightforce not being needed on the average hunting rifle.
