I have a couple of NFs. They are well built. Their glass is not the best that I own, but overall I am pleased with the value of NF.
Mine are not safe queens either. Many may buy a top end piece of gear just to say they own brand x. Those people would be shocked to see the wear marks on some of my gear.
That being said, while there may be wear marks, I do not abuse my gear.
I guess you need to know your market to know if carrying NF is a smart move or not. Most in the gun community do not spin turrets or know a cosine angle from a spare tire, though if you read much on the net,it may seem like they do.
