Hello long-range shooters.

I recently bought a rifle which came with a Nightforce scope setup for much longer range hunting than I ever do. I am replacing the scope with a lighter, more compact model and selling the Nightforce.

If any of you are looking for a top-shelf, long range optic, this is a beauty. I'd wiggle on my price a bit to sell it outside of eBay, just for the pleasure of avoiding their fees.

The scope is a Nightforce Scope NXS 8-32x56 .250 MOA with ZeroStop and Illuminated Reticle.

You can see many closeup photos of the scope here: Nightforce Scope NXS 8-32x56

If you are interested, PM me. I will knock $200 off the eBay price to do a private sale.

Cheers!

Justin

My brother in law said the same thing... Did he call you? wink

I do love the scope. But for now, without a place to make good use of it, it's way too expensive of a paper weight to have sitting on my desk!

Someone is going to get a good deal on a great scope, who will make use of all its capabilities.

I would definitely be interested, if I weren't strapped for cash right now. You are making someone a good deal. Good luck!

Last call. I received an offer of $1550 for the scope. I think that's a steal of a price for this optic. If there are no better offers, I will let it go for that price later this afternoon.

pre64win - did you try NASA before selling it? They probably would consider it as a 'backup' to the Hubble...LOL. Just how big is a 8-32x56 anyway? Homesteade

As 2muchgun says... this thing is really, REALLY big. It weighs more than 2 lbs!!!

All the hunting we do is in high, rugged country. You can get the idea from this photo of my son on the front page of our website...

I have to make my rifle as light as possible just to help this old man get around these mountains! Besides, the terrain and wind in this area limit shots to about 400 yards at the most, and many shooting opportunities are under 100 yards. My 2.5-8x36 is plenty of scope for this kind of hunting, and it only weighs around 11 ounces laugh

I'll leave this big scope to you guys who don't seem to mind packing around a 14 lb rifle and are reaching out and touching things at 1000 yards, and beyond!

Thanks guys!

Justin
