Subject: Premier Reticles vs Nightforce NXS

Kind of interesting to me because I've owned two Premiers in 3-15 (both the Heritage and the LT). Both had great glass and were capable of rendering 12" high letters at 2.87 miles away readable. So I'm not sure why you wouldn't have a similar experience. However, having also owned a NF scope (the 2.5-10x32) which was great I'd agree with RC that you're probably never going to have a problem taking a shot with one.
In fact, the realization that most shooters and most shots don't require incredible glass led me to sell off the uber optics over time and just switch to the really good glass and other features of the better-priced SS scope line. I've only ever fallen with a rifle once (hard enough to leave an objective-shaped bruise under my armpit from the NF). But I enjoy the peace of mind hunting rugged terrain with a scope that I don't need to baby. The high country is no place for a Mercedes.
