Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics U.S. Optics vs. Nightforce???

I'm having fun with this, but lay off the heavy chit. I'm no liar, here or in person. Here's another anecdote while I wait for your pics. I hit a dog last winter just like you espoused earlier. In the hips with a .224 75 grain amax. It spun and did the funky chicken and took off at mach4 for parts unknown. When I surveyed the spot he was when hit, I found a big chunk of bone. I think you may have missed the point made earlier in the thread, in that coyotes are normally tough critters. I doubt the dogs here are any harder to kill than the dogs anywhere else. If you had killed a few of them then you would know this. Yet you still keep spouting bullschite. Carry on.

Hi John, I'm glad you got to try it before you bought it. IMO, if they called that scope the "game hunter" and it came in a light colored box with a picture of a deer on it I think they would have a hard time getting $700 for it, hence the tactical crap comment. I hope it makes a little more sense now that you've spent some time with one.

I replaced mine with a Leupold that cost about half as much and think I have a much more usable scope now. The Leupold doesn't have the same clarity but it does everything else much better than the NF compact.

I really like NF scopes, just not the compact models.

Best of luck on your search!

SillyGoatfluff,

I can't say I'm suprised that Mr. man titties shooting a 45-70 and a bozo with an AR could barely manage to get a yote down after engaging in a small fire fight.

Kinda proves my point...

You hit the nail on the head regarding the eyebox. I think it would be fine for a daylight target scope, not suited to my eyes, at least not for hunting.

Gonna keep on looking. Leupy and Conquest are next on the list.

Thanks for the advice.

Nice pic. What rifle and scope you using?

M700, BC stock, Kampfeld knob. Had a Pentax 4.5-14 in that pic, now wears a Sightron 4.5-14.

In that open country, you could use a rest for sure.

We use electronic calls and set them up mid field on agricultural ground after the harvest or when the crops are still small.

Somtimes it brings them straight in (about 150 yds away), most of the time they just come out of the tree line 50 - 100yds or so yds and stop, which makes for a long shot from our set up, but that's what we are after.

We usually set up in irrigation ditches that cross the fields, these usually have elevated banks to retain water, so I pack my shooting rest with me as we are 3-5 ft. higher than the rest of the field.

Hit some, miss some but it's alot of fun.

Keep avoiding the fact that you're clueless JohnPoses...

Here is a funny fact deflation,

You two monkeys gotta empty an AR and use a 45-70 to bring down a boney yote.

That you told on yourselves is further evidence of your deep rooted, mind boggling stupidity.

You gals are a barrel of laughs.

That combination sounds like the proverbial oil/water mix to me! A 10X Nightforce on a 505 Gibbs??

Dude...
