hi,

what are peoples opinions on a nightforce nxs 5.5-22 x 56 scope?
any views would be appreciated

Alex I have shot a Night Force scope a 2.5-15 in an Accuracy International 308 for several years.

I have also shot the 5.5-22x56 on a Barrett 50 Semi-Auto.

They have both been excellent scopes.

The "clicks" are accurate and repeatable.
Optics are very good.

Only 2 negatives.
One, they are big, long and heavy.
Two, the illuminated reticle is not conviently adjustable. You have to take off the paralax turrett.

They are good scopes, I like them.

alex......... i own one a bench rest 8x32 x 56 was made way before the nxs series it''s ausome its never failed me yet. from all the imput ive read i would say go 4 it if you can, you''ll never reget it. mine has the np-r2 retical, and i shot the best long range group of my life with it last fall,308 winchester also being the cartrige, regards jjmp

Alex,

I have one mounted in Nightforce rings on a 300Rum with a Remington varmint contour custom match barrel.

Clicks adjustments are spot on, it has excellent optics, good eye relief and the convenience of the illuminated reticle.

The only drawback I have found is that lateral eye relief is a bit fussy at 22X but all in all, they are fantastic scopes.

I traded a S&B for it and have never regreted it.

thanks for the input,

I have purchased a nxs 5.5-22 x 56, just waiting for its arrival, it might just be the ticket on a 30.06 AI, I shall wait and see.

Nightforce scopes ar outsatnding, I own 5 of them and could not be more pleased.........

alex .....CONGRAT''S ...regards jjmp

s##t the bed. the scope turned up today, what a piece of kit that is.
its all set up on the rifle and ive just squeezed a few rounds together to zero it in.
the reticle looks great, the schmidt and bender I had on it makes a real pretty doorstop now!

alex i''m laughing with Gleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, your one funny guy you better clean that poh...poh...you funny and made my day thanks enjoy post pictures ifin you can regards jjmp

167gn scenars


110gn vmax

both five shot groups

the scope and reticle has made a hell of a differance on group sizing!

alex thanks 4 the pictures , boy you can really shoot that baby , sorry for this late post regards jjmp

My opinion, although I have never owned one is that they are not a bad optic for the money.

Although my loyalties remain elsewhere.

hi alex nice shooting

it`s about time you found something you can shoot.unlike the .17
