My first exposure to Nightforce Optics was during a long range shooting course at Sniper Country in Utah. We were shooting .338 Lapua Magnums and for five days we pounded round after round down range. I never had to adjust or re-zero my Nightforce. When I took another long range shooting course with Magpul I borrowed a Nightforce Compact riflescope. I liked that scope so much I had to have one and consider it one of the most versatile optical options available for a hunting rifle.
Last fall I got to test the new B.E.A.S.T. from Nightforce. I had the help of a seriously experienced long range shooter – Mike Moore from Gunsite Academy – and after a serious workout we both concluded it just might be the Best Example of Advanced Scope Technology. If I was a serous long range shooter I’d have to write a check for one of these too. That article will be in an upcoming issue of Shooting Illustrated magazine.
Most recently I’ve been working with the newest Nightforce which is called the SHV – Shooter, Hunter, Varminter. This is the least expensive Nightforce you can buy and even though it is about half the price of other Nightforce optics, you’ll not have to settle for less quality. I liked this scope so much I asked Nightforce to let me keep it on lone for an extended period of time so that I can use it to test the rifles and ammunition I write about. That’s something you cannot do responsibly with a scope that is not completely trustworthy.
Drop by the Nightforce web site to see what they have and if you get a chance, visit Nightforce on Facebook and thank them for supporting Empty Cases.
