Thanks. =)Welcome to the Forum!
Which reticle?
If it was properly stored and cared for.... it still retains value......I gave $400.00 for a similar used Night Force a few years ago that rests on top of my 50 BMG Bushmaster. Never have regretted buying it.....He gave me the original receipt/box/ papers with it and he paid $1800.00 + tax for it new....
That was NightForce’s original extreme long range scope. Midway has new ones for sale for $1,885 right now.My dad left me a rifle that has a NXS 12-42x56. I have no use for it really, so I'm considering selling. But I looked it up and apparently it's somewhat old, as they don't even make this model anymore. What could I get for it?

Depending on your reticle, $1,500 wouldn’t be out of the question if you find the right buyer. Otherwise you can expect $1,000 - $1,200.
I doubt Midway has any,they show it as Discontinued.
I'd guess that scope is SFP being as old as it is,plus it's also MOA not Mil. Most long range shooters today want FFP and Mil/Mil scopes,and very few want 12-40x magnification.
You might post it on Accurate Shooters Forum,some of the benchrest guy's might be interested in it. Price wise,you might get around $1k for it,if it's in excellent condition.
Old NSX scopes generally don't fetch top dollar,they are antiques when it comes to scope technology/features.
It's a great scope.
A buddy has one and it is dazzlingly sharp and clear.
He is a bench-rest detail-obsessed sort of guy.
It's a very special purpose long range precision scope and the guys who actually need it would give you $1,200 in a heartbeat if it's the pristine condition I suspect it is in.
Hang around here long enough to sell it on the forum!
BTW
The more interesting question......your dad new quality gear.
What sort of firearm is the NF mounted upon???

That's hilarious.Yeah, that's the idea. It's mounted on a Savage Model 12 .308
