Nightforce Scope Help

[Payne346]

Need some help green screen....does anyone know if there is a quick reference guide (app or chart) for NF scopes. I have a ACTAR 5x25x56. For Swaro scopes they have an app you just type in caliber, bullet, ect and it tells you how many clicks on your turret for long range shooting. You just have to input where you zeroed in at, 100, 200 yrds ect... I cant find anything for NF like this and I’m new to the long range shooting scene. Thank you in advance!

Download "Strelock Pro" on your phone. You can select the specific reticle and scope you have. Just enter in the ballistic info or the brand of boxed ammo you're using. You can make a ballistic profile for every rifle you own. A buddy showed me this at a 3-gun match last year and its the best ballistic app I've tried yet.

Yea download a ballistic app and input your numbers. REAL numbers from a chronograph, your BC, and your elevation. If they’re not real numbers it won’t work. It’s not specific to any scope and with your real numbers will be more accurate than any Swarovski app


I use “shooter”

I use the Applied Ballistic App.

Thanks for all the help guys....one question, will any of these apps give me clicks on the turret like the Swaro app or will I have to calculate using MOA and figure out how many clicks and build a dope chart? Again, I'm new to long range shooting. Thanks again!

You don’t count clicks. That’s why there are numbers on the turret

[Payne346]

I should have stated that, thanks T8 for the correction. Do the apps tell me how many numbers to go up? Again, the Swaro app is super simple...just not finding or understanding how to do the same for the NF I have.

Yes. I use KACs BulletFlight L2

They're all super simple if you give them the right information. If you take your velocity off a box of ammo you will be disappointed. Do yourself a favor and learn the scope whether its MOA or Mil though because that scope is built to be much more precise than what you're describing.

Yes the numbers have to be correct, ie. velocity, BC, elevation, wind etc . etc. To add to this......go out and shoot at the maximum range you intend to shoot out to. While the ap's are great and get you close, LR fundamentals and reading wind are learned shooting.

Got it guys... thanks again for all the information. Going to check out some apps now and start working.

I use several different apps depending on the application. In a hunting application (long range) I use the Bushnell/kestrel combo and it works very well. I range and get my dial too. All of my prework is already done. Speaking of prework or confirming DOPE I use the G7 app. It is very simple to use. I first enter all data, print my DOPE, and confirm and adjust. I then take this confirmed data and use the Bushnell 1 mile.

Good stuff guys, thanks!
