Top_Heavy's World

There was a time in my life where shooting a deer at 25 yards with a smooth barrel shotgun and a front, BB style sight was impressive to me. I became more experienced and my world got bigger and I desired to shoot squirrels out to 100 yards. I soon found myself shooting coyotes at over 200 yards... prairie dogs at 300 yards... whitetails at 425 yards plus. I purchased a very top end Volquartsen rimfire rifle and I finally saw how good a rifle could get. I shot rifles of all makes and models and found I could shoot tighter groups than many factory rifles could. I put better and better quality optics on my rifles and I found that better optics meant better groups. I settled with Leupold on all of my rifles. I gave away all other scopes, Redfield, Burris, Tasco, Nikon, Bushnell... I tried almost all of the low and mid and upper level scopes. I tried Leica and Swarovski, and decided on Leupold for 2 reasons 1) I couldn't tell much difference in veiwing ability, clarity, quality and 2) I wanted to be able to afford one for each gun, and the very top end scopes were much more expensive for the barely noticable benefits. I got talked into the newest Nikon models in the past 2 years... I should have known better, I put them on guns I almost never use anymore and I will soon take them off and replace them.
Recently I tried a 2.5 to 10X scope that blew my mind. This was the clearest, brightest and most impressive glass I have ever looked through. I had a 5.5 to 22X scope put on a custom rifle for me this past week and I found a new level of "The Best I Have Ever Seen"! I was able to see .30 caliber bullet holes, in tan paper, at 800 yards. The Leica spotting scope we were using, a top end 45x scope, was not clear enough to make out the holes! Even when the power was backed-off to try to eliminate mirage, the rifle scope was clearer and easier to see through with less distortion...
Nightforce is the name, perfection is the game. I know I will never be totally happy until every rifle I have is wearing a Nightforce scope. I have finally found a product that is worth the price, that still fits in the "Best" category. Usually items found of this level are so crazily priced, that they are unattainable. These scopes are not found everywhere, I found them in a Sinclair International Reloading Catalog, page 133. This line of optics is so impressive, so much better than anything else you will ever try, they are worth the effort to find one! Sinclair catalogs are available by calling 1-800-717-8211 I will be hunting with both the 2.5-10x and the 5.5-22X this fall. After only a couple of uses, I am convinced, these scopes are worth it!

I became friends with an incredible rifleman and my world has forever changed. I have been able to shoot sub 3" groups at 800 yards, with a hunting rifle, Nightforce Optics are a key player in those results!
