Night Force is a coming

[ranch41]

So I did some research and decided I needed a FFP scope for my Rem 700 in 30.06. I ordered a NF ATACR 5x25 F1 in December with an estimated shipping time of 90 to 120 days. Well a couple of weeks ago I read an article and it mentioned a new NF ATACR F1 in 7x35 coming during the spring of 2017. I contacted NF and amended my order from the 5x25 to the 7x35 on 1/24/17 with the standard 90 to 120 day shipping estimate.

Well low and behold I just received an email today that it has been pulled and is ready to ship!! Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

so i just did a little search and correct me if im wrong but the 7x35 only comes with the MOAR reticle?

It also comes in Mil-R. Just received mine.

Can't go wrong with Nightforce. I have owned quite a few of them, but never a FFP version.

Question...why did you order directly from NF? Lots of retailers have the 7-35X ATACR on the shelf and give better price.

Post up your thoughts about it once you have had some time behind it.

I was researching FFP scopes to see if there were any acceptable choices and came across the article so I naturally went to the NF website, called NF to get details as I was under the impression that it wasn't coming out until spring and amended my order on the spot. Later I did see other sites had it in stock but had already ordered it and the mounting system from NF. As far as price is concerned, they were all the same.

Anyway, isn't life great?

This is the system that I am familiar with so I didn't even look any further.

Nope. No they haven't. You're looking at the wrong model.

yes, the 7-35 is the new model as far as i know. i am talking about what the op purchased prior to changing his order to the 7-35.
