    My new glass!

    NF 2.5-10x32 LV/ Larue SPR 1.5
    The glass seems clear but honestly not really any better than my Hensoldt or my ACOG. It seems very solid and well built! The illumination is ok, not visible in bright sunlight but can be used in cloudy conditions. The ret is very crisp and clear! Much better than the ACOG's non llluminated ret parts! The mount is very light and solid like all of Larue's mounts! Will answer the big question soon! How well does the LV BDC work with the SCAR!

    I got mine from KNS Precision but it was the last they had. Called every NF distributor on their website and they all said there's a 30+ week wait for them. D&B supply did have one mv ret 2.5-10.

    Very nice. I think that's a great choice for that gun.

    You can adjust the brightness of the illuminated reticle on Nightforces scopes but it's inconvenient. I would recommend against making it bright enough to see with during the day, if you do it gets bright enough to glare out targets in very low light conditions. You don't need it on to see the reticle during light anyway.

    Anyway just try it out in very low light before you turn it up too much.

    Nice Scope! I think you are going to really enjoy it ....................................dj

    Congrats! That's the one I got dj, actually on that scope the illumination is the left turret. 9 different settings you can turn through...very easy on the NF 2.5-10x32

    This scope is as hard to find as scar 17 mags, lol You can also try euro optic in Central Pennsylvania Nightforce NXS 2.5-10x32 Rifle Scopes for Sale! - EuroOptic.com
    Eurooptic is great to work with...I got my NF 2.5-10x from them in January. Free shipping

    oohh that's a big improvement! On mine you have to adjust it with the tiny little pot inside the turret. I had it too bright and I couldn't see targets the night I experimented with it.....................dj
