How would you rank Nightforce NXS scopeson the scale from1-5 stars (5 stars being best). And how do they compare with the very best scopes like Zeiss, S&B and Swarovski ?

I'm sure they are right up there in the 5 range. For that kind of money they better be. Have you ever looked through a Meopta Meostar R1? You should just for laughs. Youshould be pleasantly surprised........

I would rate it a five! a friend of mine has one on a .308 and its the clearest scope I have ever seen! there are also many choices for the reticles you can get on different models. He has never had to adjust his scope since he sighted it in. If I could afford one, I would get one in a heartbeat!


Axis

rates at a 5. It is among the very best in scopes. There sure are a lot of guys using them in benchrest. There are a few guys going to the March scopes now but they are more money yet. The variable 60 power is sweet on the March. The BR model is the same glass as the NSX. For about $400 less you can have one of those. Biggest difference is the NXS has Side focus and 1/4 mill clicks the BR has an OA and 1/8 mill clicks.

Here is a ratings scale made up by some very knowlegeable people, looks like very good, but not with the Zeiss etc:

Thanks a lot for the reply’s......I’mlookingfor a new scope for my 300 win mag andI likethe idea ofthe 3,5-15 with the mil-dot reticle…..I already have 2 S&B and 2 Zeiss Diavary which are great, but my budget now doesn’t allow me to spend 1600-2000 $ for a scope !

SWFA has it rated just above the Conquest.

Sorry I just saw it now....thanks !

I have the nxs 3.5x15x50 on my 308 target rifle.It is extremely clear,and tracks perfectly,but it is not quite as bright as a top end 50mm swarovski.
