I'm interested in seeing how the NF will work with the larue riser. Guess I gotta sell my 11in barrel and adjustable gas block haha. Were all issued 416s during this time have unvented gas blocks? |

Never seen that before. Also i really need an NXS 1-4 now haha. If anyone wants to sell lmk. |

If anyone wants to sell lmk. It's been floating out there for a long time now. Same rifle:  I have a nav-spec 1-4 from dg that I'd let go if you want to be that correct. But if you're looking for just a civi cheaper one, just hit up the EE, I don't think they're very rare. |

There are also a few pictures out there of DEV with 10.4" HK416s and ACOGs on recces which would be really cool. There is a picture of Justin Sheffield with one and and bipod. He mentioned either in an instagram post of his book that he ground off part of the hood of the ACOG so that the thermal would clip on in front.

Every time I look for 416 reference photos, I always get flooded with airsoft guns haha. Still no luck on finding a NF, but an ACOG is an interesting idea. Is it still a 416 RECCE if it doesn't have a NF though? lol |

It’s worth pointing out that the scope is an atacr with the locking turret of the 4-16. Something that leupold ruined for all of us. |

That particular rifle has a prototype ATACR on it. Which has an 8x that's even better than the NX8. |

Yeah per the tech specs it should be mediocre, but I have a MIL nx8 on the mk18 right now and honestly for the price ($1200) its hard to beat. It replaced the SU230 for me, and I think for weight/cost/clarity, its a better choice. Still struggling however with how to passive aim under nods. I run nf rings and dont understand why no one makes a scope ring cap mount for the ultralite rings for an rmr or t1 or something. |

It’s auto dimming. When it gets very dark it goes to a dim setting that looks like it’s pulsing to make it easier to find. I’ve used one for passive aiming before and never had issues with it blooming or making me worry about tube damage. It’s only a 1MOA dot so that helps with the lack of blooming. |

Was also just wondering if the FF1 would be appropriate since the Burris mount apparently is. |

for those of you who have NF 2.5-10x24's. How are you guys running them? Do you guys keep the scope at 10X and just use the piggyback red dot for target acquisition? or are you guys dialing back and forth between different magnifications? To me, the scope being SFP is the only downside to the scope, which is really keeping me from wanting to acquire one.
