    No worries--they're awesome about warranty service.

    You’re drunk, you should go to bed. I’m still happy about the rifle, scope and all. Sorry you don’t find joy in things you do.

    I have no doubts they’ll stand by their warranty. I’ll still be going with Nightforce though.

    Right? Unfortunately, adult men act like that...

    There was a time where this forum frowned upon these “look what I got” threads. Those were better times.

    Meh, I’m done with it.

    I’m scope hunting....Trying to decide between these:

    https://www.nightforceoptics.com/rif...s/nxs-35-15x50

    https://www.nightforceoptics.com/rif...s/nxs-55-22x50

    Now mind you, I’m no snipersuperSEALCAGRaidersnakeeatingsupershooter type person. I just like to shoot and enjoy the challenge.

    First Shots

    First 20 rounds, 150 grain Federal AE FMJ. First round is right of center, I pulled the bolt to get a quick bore sight and off to trigger pulling.



    2 groups of 10, 165 grain Hornady SST and SIG 150 all copper HP



    The round outside the grouping was because I decided to have some kind of Tourettes type spasm for some unknown reason.

    All shots were from a bench and bag with no rear support at 100 yards. I was more or less trying to get a feel for the rifle and to see what grain was going to do the best. I performed no barrel break-in. I cleaned the bore with brush, CLP, and patches on a jag and went to the range.

    It’s not even worth it with you.

    You should expect much more from it than what you pictured. Feed it some good ammo like 168 or 175 Federal Gold Metal.
