Nightforce 15-55x52 Benchrest Scope question

[shoot4fun]

An unfortunate incident earlier this year at a 600 yard BR match left my NF 15-55 looking like this.
The scope took the full impact of a drop on concrete from about 3 feet. This happened just after I had verified zero for the weekend match and I was 300 miles from home. I was ready to pack up and head home but someone suggested I try to see if the scope would function. To my amazement, I was able to get it back on target in three shots. I stayed for the weekend matches and finished 3rd in the Two-Gun both days. There was NO problem with failing to hold POI all weekend. Guess what I will buy for my next scope?
BTW, I sent the scope back to NF and they repaired it to perfect condition and returned in 8 days (from the day they got it until I had it back) and it is as good as before the accident.

Great scopes, zero problems, both of my LG are wearing NF Comps but if you can make the weight with Majesta and the extra $$ is no issue I'd definitely seriously consider the March Majesta, have one on my HG and I can run it at full 80x power if the mirage isn't too bad and I think it does make a difference in 1K competition.

It's a bit gauche to post this here, but in answer to your comment, you might want to read the news item here.

I wrote it after coming back from Lodi and talking with a lot of Majesta owners at the Nationals.

Have 2 of the competitions , 3 years old, shoot to 1000 yards 6 times a month, steel plates down to .4 MOA.
I’m very happy with them. Constantly dialing as we shoot 12 different distances from 235 out to 1000. No issues.

Not that it means much to a 1,000 yard shooter, but I just bought my 3rd NF 15-55 Comp scope. I like them a lot as you can figure out. My favorite reticle is the DDR-2, but I do have one with standard crosshairs and dot. Most of my shooting is limited to 200 yards at most and the majority at 50 and 100 yards. I have used a variety of other rifle scopes but I like the NF scopes best for what I do. I just ordered my 3rd NF 15-55 Comp scope with a DDR-2 reticle because I got tired of moving them from one rifle to another. I am a Nightforce confirmed user/owner.

You say you use the NF 15-55 for 200 yards and less? Is that for competition in group or VFS?
And how does it perform in the winner circle?

No worries.
