I can only say that in comparing the 2.5-10x32 to what else was available at the time I got it (last December), it does not seem overrated or overpriced. The most comparable scopes (this was well before the SS 3-9 came out) were the USO SN3 @ $1730 or the IOR 2-12 tactical that sells for basically the same price as the NF ($1275 vs. $1295). I could barely justify that price let alone the cost of the USO. I ruled out the IOR because it is a 35mm tube and I wanted a 30mm mount and because NF has a better reputation for reliability and repeatability. Frankly, I've never understood the complaints over their glass. It is more than good enough. Give me laser-precision repeatability any day over anything else. I don't need this scope because someone might be shooting back at me. I already had one hunt ruined because of a scope failure and I just want to know that if I do my job of dialing in the right dope and firing the rifle properly, I will hit what I aim at. The NF makes my rifle a joy to shoot and will probably last for many years. It has also removed some of the variability in my shooting and load development...can't blame the scope anymore.

When I read articles about testing your scope to see if it is really tracking 1/4 MOA with each click I just think, "Why not buy a NF or comparable scope and not have to worry about it?"

well i hear that they are making a bigger shop to work out of so things might speed up some.

50yds according to NF.

alot of longrange shooters here pick them. for there recticals and massive accurate adjustments.

well the glass might not be as good as say swaro,s&band zeiss they are still top class. i guess it boils down to what type of shooting you do

I'm wondering if the new big SS 5-20 when it finally comes out  will give NF competition? I find it hard to beleive my SS10X HD can't hold up to anything thrown at it including a combat round. Just my 2cents at 60% of the NF cost.
