I think NF is a bit behind in there Reticle Dept. There glass is not worth me spending my hard earned money on in this day and time. I am now using Vortex and am much happier and will buy another. NF is a good scope but you can only live on a name so long. Just my humble opinion.

I totally agree with Kris. NF may make a fine product but WAY too many fanboyz losing sight of what many other brands are doing or have done so for some time. There may have been a time when NF was a leader but now? Personally I have owned a couple of NF offerings and sorry to say they do suffer chromatic aberation and far from being crystal clear compared to others I own and have looked through. Taking a ‘blind’ test with several of my buddies, we all came to the same conclusion.

I used to deal with Jeff Huber (the go to guy) but now he has ‘gone’ from NF apparently. When I tried to contact him at NF in Orofino I was met with a very awkward response and totally unconvincing.

So, they’re offering a style of reticle that most other manufacturers have offered for years (but without features useful for combined wind and holdover), and they’re doing it in MOA and SFP. Both of these are dying in the tactical scope arena, even Leupold has finally caught onto that. Too bad… they were on the right track with their F1.
