Hello all,
I will start by saying I appreciate anyone who responds, Thank you ahead of time. Here is my issue, I am a DIE HARD Leupold guy. Very much set in my ways ( so I thought). I am a full time Private Military Soldier and Wildlife Protection Agent I work primarily in Africa. I have read the hundreds of arguments on this forum regarding optics. That is not what I'm trying to achieve with this post. I have always depended on Leupold because I've never had one let me down on any mission, in all types of hostile environments wether the environment be an active hostile environment of unrest or under severe and extreme inclement weather conditions. From dust and sand storms to pouring rain, high humidity and 125+ degrees. I am a MIL shooter from turrets to reticle. Leupold has always been right on target for me. I am NOT a bench shooter. I train in the exact way I work so all of my LRTI ( Long Range Target Introdiction) weapons are set up exactly the same in multiple calibers. So now this is where you guys come in.
I had a chance to shoot a night force 5-26x56 on a .308 Rifle this last week. I can't say I wasn't impressed but there were a few things I didn't care for.
1) does night force come in Mil reticle and turrets? The weapon I fired was in MOA 1/4 inch clicks.
2) does night force come or do they make an anti glare honeycomb to kill light reflection on that big piece of 56mm glass?
3) do they come in FFP ? The one I shot was SFP.
4) is the glass worth he price tag? Does it scratch easy ? Does it hold a zero under EXTREMELY hostile conditions?
5) does it hold up to environments such as heat cold storms sand humidity etc.
6) are these optics tactically sound, I guess is my biggest question.
I have a few more questions but these will do for now.
Thank you anyone who replies, I have read a ton of stuff on the net but there always seems to be allot of arguing or company claims for advertising purposes. I just want to hear the straight truth from those who have made the switch or have real world experience with the Noght Force optics. I've been looking at numerous models nothing is really jumping out at me I could use a suggestion or two In that department as well. I wish I could find a 5-32x56 on MIL with MIL turrets.
