Gentlemen,

I am shopping for a Nightforce 5.5-22 x 56 NXS scope. I would like to buy from a REPUTABLE dealer, and not pay any more premium than necessary. As of now, I am finding it for $1681 (without the 2X High-Speed Zero Stop Elevation Knob feature).

Do you know of a dealer you would recommend that can beat this price?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the information.

I have another question regarding the 2X High-Speed Zero Stop Elevation Knob feature, but I will make it another thread.

I have bought two from The Optic Zone - http://www.theopticzone.com/ . They have the most amazing service. When you purchase a NF, you get 8% store credit against future purchases...on anything but NF. It's just part of the way NF controls prices. Dealers can be stripped of their NF dealership if they are caught discounting NF products.

The only time that you see discounts is when someone goes out of business. Either they sell at a discount or someone snaps up their inventory and sells at a discount. When that happens, you only have what's in stock, of course, and it all goes ultra fast.

FWIW, GregJ.
 
I ordered one from BearBasin two days ago and it still hasn't shipped. They charged my card though....just a little irritating since other vendors ship that day or first thing the next. Supposed to be free express shipping, whatever that means. I'd hate to see what standard shipping means. I was also charged a fee for something because I'm showing they charged 1889.xx instead of 1885, what it lists for. Hopefully I get it before next weekend!

I wish Bill had a .125 version NXS in stock!

Living in Iceland a long long way from the Mecca of BR shooting ,the USA, I have learned to deal only with the best dealers.
Mr. Shehane of D&B Supply is one of them!! A true Gentleman and a great Long Range shooter !!

Finally, got a tracking number from Bear Basin...2 days later. Fedex 2nd day is express shipping, lol
 
Be careful on who you name they will pull the dealers ability to order if they find out. Just deal with the few mentioned here and be done with it. Or hunt for a used one. Have owned both new and used never a problem.
 
Nothing wrong with used...most guys that pay $1200-$2000 for a scope, they tend to take care of it. Plus Nightforce will repair any problems with it, no questions asked, even if you purchased it used.
 
I have had good luck with SportOptics.com, down in Hammond, LA. Given that NF dealers are all supposed to charge the same, the delta is in the customer service and these folks are very helpful and keep you informed if they have to order a particular reticle, etc.

+1 more for Sport Optics!
I have bought two NF benchrest scopes and some NF rings and mounts.
Sport Optics gives free shipping and ships the same day you order unless it is at 5PM when you place the order.
In that case it is next day.
They ship UPS and Hammond La to Houston is 2 days and the delivery is done.
Great customer service too.

Update: Just to let you know, I bought the scope today from Bear Basin. My main reason is previous customer service where they went way beyond what was necessary to make sure I was satisfied. I consider them extremely reputable. BTW, I got the model with the 2X High-Speed Zero Stop Elevation Knob feature.

A sincere thank you for all your ideas and suggestions.

Did they ship yours right away? It took 2 days before I got a tracking number and the 3rd day finally showed movement on the package. Anyhow, I got the scope(6 days after I ordered it) and its all good.

Thank you for your question. I ordered it this afternoon and the rep told me that it would likely not be shipped until after the holiday. And to look for it to arrive towards the end of next week. That's OK with me since I am at least 3 weeks from it being installed on the rifle.
