I've never regretted buying a top end Leupold, or Nikon.

I've owned a dozen cheapies over the years, and regretted buying every one of them.

And yes, for most of us a Hensoldt, Zeiss or S&B is a dream.

But I'd rather dream about a S&B than own a $99.95 K-mart blue light special

Did I miss that reply?

I have more than a few Nightforce scopes. I realize there are a few out there that are better. I have never been sorry. Some have been better than others, but the quality is outstanding. The optics great, the repeatability rock solid, and the customer service very good.

You want to go cheaper, certainly you can.

Was there an answer on what he his going to shoot? Or his distance? If you are shooting 200 yards you don't need an $1800+ scope. However if you are shooting 1000K+ you might want a top end scope.

Of course you experience may vary.

He said for a 223 so 1000+ isnt on the program

Well, with a Nightforce he won't have a problem seeing what he is shooting at. I had to learn about the quality of optics the expensive way. Buy cheap then weep.

Yea they are good optics i have a swaro z6 on my ca 338 its up there in the high end but worth every penny

I have one Swv and the only issue I have with it over a nightforce is that the parallax control isn't quite as fine as I would like it to be. You can get it adjust correctly with a little work, but in comparison it is a coarse dial.

as always you experience may vary.

I have a nightforce on a custon 7mm ultra mag i had done for my daughter before she passed away an yes it has a very fine smooth adjustment the swaro is now after many adjustments

I have a Zeiss in my Winchester 223 and was so impressed with it I will get one for my 7 mm mag. I have a Burris Fullfield now and it's a good scope. But the Burris is not even in the same league as the Zeiss.
