Default Lost/forgot my Nightforce scope at range

Hello everyone,

A couple of months ago, I purchased a 7mmprc and equipped it with a Nightforce scope for load testing. Once I finalized the load, I swapped the Nightforce with a Burris Eliminator 5 scope at the Sherwood Park range. I sighted in the Burris and was very pleased with the setup. However, somehow I forgot my Nightforce scope at the Sherwood Park range, and I only recently discovered this oversight.

Due to recent challenges in my life, I had to sell ALL my hunting gear, as some of you may have seen in the "Whole life for sale" post in the buy and sell section. While managing inquiries about my products, I realized that my 8-32 Nightforce scope is missing, and upon reflection, I recalled using it last at the range.

It's a significant loss for me, and I'm curious about the chances of recovering the scope. What do you think, maybe a 2% chance?

Thanks.

Have you contacted the club. They have a lost and found system thay works really well. I have tuurned in quite a few bits of gear over the past couple of years, kind of amazes me how much stuff guys leave behind. They all found their way back to the proper owner. Best of luck.

They have cameras. I hope that they are in use.
It seems like they never are, unfortunately. The rule breakers just never get held accountable.
Best of luck with the glass, and the overcoming those challenges.

Man that sucks, but is a stark reminder to us all to check and double check when leaving the range, we all have stuff out on the tables and benches
