I want to get into LR shooting nothing formal.
I am looking at the NF 5.5x22x50 NXS and the
LEUPOLD Mark 4 Tactical 8.5-25X50LR I can get the leo for 1300 and the NF for 1700.
What are the differences in tracking, clarity, reliability etc.
Any input would be great.
Absolute perfect tracking, reliability, consistency, and durability with the Nightforce. This is not theoretical statements or fanboy'ism. We see upwards of 100,000 rounds a year shot. I have never seen a NF have issues.
The Leupold is a decent scope however spin those turrets enough and it will develop problems. Again, I'm not guessing.
You can pick up used Nightforce's for around $1,000-$1,200. That's what I would do. There are no worries with buying a used NF. It will work perfectly.
