Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Nightforce - are they worth it

Regarding the eye relief, it isn't excessive, but hasn't posed a problem for me. I don't shoot much that kicks anymore as a rule, an 8 lb 7/08AI is my biggest offender, and I kind of want to rebarrel it to a 6 Creedmore.

I hunted with one this year on a 6.5x47 Lapua. I think it is the first time I can remember carrying a variable all season and having it still be sighted in at the end of the year.




My partner and I used it on four mule deer and a mountain goat:








My goat was over 500, and his muley was over 400, one shot each. After the season I picked up another 3-9, and he now has two. We don't get to use them near as much as Formidilus, but I hope they keep working as well as his have.
