eagle10 Posted April 26, 2013 Report Posted April 26, 2013 Alright, I'm down to the money on my build, soon as GG&G ships my Bi-pod and front sling attachment, my sling comes in, I will be ready to spend some serious dollars. I looking for some scope suggestions, I have my eye on this from Larue http://www.laruetactical.com/nightforce-5-25%C3%9756-atacr-and-qd-mount I'm just not in love with the 5-25 power on it. I own a NXS 8-32x56 on another rifle and was kinda partial to it, until these new ATARS came out. What do you all think?? Does anyone have one of these and how do they compare to the older NXS I listed above??
BLKSHEEP Posted April 27, 2013 Report Posted April 27, 2013 I wish that I could help but that's above my pay scale :)) Are you saying that you're not sure if the 25X is enough?
Goofball310 Posted April 28, 2013 Report Posted April 28, 2013 The glass on the NF scopes are still the same as the old and the only difference between the old and new NXS are the F1 models (FFP), Zerostop, and high speed turrets. There is the NF Beast that is set to come out soon but is not yet available to the public.
EasyEJL Posted April 28, 2013 Report Posted April 28, 2013 I own a NXS 8-32x56 on another rifle and was kinda partial to it whats the other rifle? I'm just interested to hear it, wondering what you're shooting with that sort of glass :)
Robocop1051 Posted April 28, 2013 Report Posted April 28, 2013 I never needed THAT much glass, but the glass I picked was the best I could find.... 2.5-10x36 on a (titanium/alum) Ultralite mount
tlturbo Posted April 29, 2013 Report Posted April 29, 2013 Robo, what grip and handguard are those? Is the hand guard free floating? Me Like. (Can't see it but what stock is on it too?)
eagle10 Posted April 29, 2013 Author Report Posted April 29, 2013 Rsquared, very nice weapon there brother for sure. Robo, I like yours as well, very nice weapon also. Goofball, yeah I have read about the BEAST from NF, sounds nice, but has probably more features than I would ever use, plus it's another 900.00 bucks, the better half has me on a limit to get the ATARS. :argue: So it is probably the one I'm going with. Thanks guys.

EasyEJL Posted April 29, 2013 Report Posted April 29, 2013 that is sharp. Is it a 308 too or a 338 lapua? can't quite tell from the shells

eagle10 Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Posted May 10, 2013 Alright, my scope is ordered and I will post pics of my build when I get it and mount it on the rifle, it will be like icing on the cake. Then it will be time to go break him in, haven't fired a shot out of it yet...... :D
unforgiven Posted May 10, 2013 Report Posted May 10, 2013 That rifle looks like a tackdriver brother eagle. <thumbsup>
eagle10 Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) Yeah I did, got it with the LaRue mount, I like GG&G, but they don't make anything in a 34 mm tube size. The price was like getting the mount for free, so made me happy, can't wait to get it. Thanks for asking. Edited May 10, 2013 by eagle10
Rsquared Posted May 10, 2013 Report Posted May 10, 2013 I'll be interested to get your opinion on that one. I like the current piece that I've got on the SASS, but I wouldn't be against trading up a litle bit. The one you're getting has a little more mag than the current one that I'm using.
eagle10 Posted May 11, 2013 Author Report Posted May 11, 2013 Well LaRue Tactical sent me an email that I have around 3-8 weeks worth of waiting before I can tell you my thoughts, but I will, said it was backordered....... Unforgiven, yeah that rifle is a fun one, HIGHLY ACCURATE, but expensive to shoot and has a nice little kick to it, one of these days I'm going to buy a single stage reloading press just so I can be a little cheaper on taking it out to shoot it, instead of shooting store bought ammo.
eagle10 Posted June 10, 2013 Author Report Posted June 10, 2013 Just an update, still waiting on the glass, starting 4th week and counting..... :drool:
Robocop1051 Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 <--- Waited 20 weeks for my NF scope... In fact, it took so long to get here that I forgot I ordered it and I started shopping for a new one. ??
eagle10 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Posted June 13, 2013 Wow, well I hope they keep it to within their stated 3-8 week time-frame. That's not very encouraging though...... :'(
Zebra644 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Posted June 13, 2013 Sports Optics had my 3.5-15 NXS to me in a week but that was about a year or so ago.
eagle10 Posted June 21, 2013 Author Report Posted June 21, 2013 Week 5 is now over, gee, #6 is coming up, ahhh that wait is terrible.......
eagle10 Posted July 25, 2013 Author Report Posted July 25, 2013 Gee, I think they forgot me, uhh week 11 ending and 12 starting. I called Larue and they told me another 4 weeks...... :-[
