I’ll wait til I have one in hand (gonna be a bit, I overspent on optics recebtly) and compare to my 1-8 VCOG SCO before deciding which stays, but immediately I am interested in a more advanced reticle at a lower weight. The mounted NX8 package: A) will weigh about half a pound lighter; B) feature a reticle I like more; C) cost less than or about comparably to the VCOG SCO… that’s mighty tempting. I hate nothing more than taking a pointable light carbine and making it heavy.
