When speaking of optics the words quality and inexpensive are rarely found together. For good quality optics you are going to pay. Having said that I got my first Nightforce about a year ago after talking to some people here on this sight and have never looked back.
Remember you get what you pay for.
Ya, that's why I dropped it on my server, so if anyone here had it they had a work around for it.
As to their charactar... obviously lacking... they'd make good hard cover.
I agree 100%. Mainly because I tend to hit hard cover at least a couple of times.
My work computer got it from many many infected flas drives that were running around. I evidentaly had the C strain and it took our IT guys two days to finally get it off. When my machine had it it would not allow me to go to microsoft or any of the antivirus websites. Other than that there was no real change in the way the machine was running.
You would think that the people authoring this crap could find better things to do like oh I don't know GET A FRIEKING JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lost two days of work because of these A$$hats.
Hobbs, Clovis, Roswell, Las Cruces, and Alamogordo also have clubs. Don't know about the rest but we shoot here in Roswell on the third Sunday.
ETA: I have seen Jim's work and it is first class. Sad to say I don't own one of his lowers YET!
Lubing is a must fro what I have seen. Never tried any that were not lubed. I found that I had to sxpand the mouth of the case a little more with lead ot keep from shaving lead off of every bullet.
Found that lead shoots as well as anything else that I have shot out of my Glocks with aftermarket barrels. Quite a bit cheaper as well depending on what brand you go with.
So I have had my Nightforce 5.5-22 for a couple of weeks now. To sum it up WOW. I love this scope. Clarity is out of this world.
Thanks to everyone that told me to go with the good stuff.

I can get 19 in all of mine and 20 in a couple. In two of the mags that I put the Dawson pads on I could only get two. I found that at the base of the tube there were burs which would not allow the follower to go past. A little work with sandpaper on those spots to smooth them out and they now hold 19.
You should be alright. I have substituted magnum primers for regular before without any problems. As always anytime you make a change make sure to back you powder charge off and work it back up.
