The rifle in question is a KAC LPR Mod 1 (18" Krieger heavy bbl), with SOPMOD stock. Just a range toy. Probably going to receive an offset T1. Rifle will be used 300-700y. I am not a fan of Horus reticles (and other various in-house styles) but love the Mil-XT reticle, and have it in other form...

"I'm not interested in other scopes at this time, though I recognize that there are other options (Vortex AMG, K3-18i, Mark 5, S&B, etc) that could also fit the bill. "

I don't get how the 2.5-20 always gets dragged back into the conversation. There is a reason I am not considering it. The reason everyone dislikes about it. Thats why I'm really trying to limit the conversation to the 4-32 NX8 vs the 4-16 ATACR. On paper they seem the smartest choices for a...

That is extremely informative, thank you.

Is the eyebox comparable if you stay around 25x?

Shopping for a gas gun, so hence looking at lighter weight options. I'm not interested in other scopes at this time, though I recognize that there are other options (Vortex AMG, K3-18i, Mark 5, S&B, etc) that could also fit the bill. It has been mentioned in passing that the 4-32x NX8 does not...

I have poured over different scopes, and the fact of the matter is I'm not willing to compromise IQ even though it's probably the most reasonable item to compromise on besides reticle (MR4 = SKMR3 = EBR2C = MIL-XT). So truly I'll end up with a ATACR 4-16x42 it ticks MOST boxes, keeps everything...

My issue is there are plenty of viable scopes, with less than stellar reticle selection. I'm smitten with the Mil-XT.

You "haven't had any problems since switching mounts".... for a few hours?

I appreciate your input. I think I'm going to have to order a 4-32 NX8 and a ATACR 4-16x42 and see what works best for me. I just don't think 16x will be enough mag for my use, but a crisp 16x with generous eye box beats a distorted 24x with narrow exit pupil on something like an AR, where I...

I really don't need 32x of mag, nor do I need 2.5x of mag, and will likely stay around 18-20x most of the time. That said it seems the NX8 2.5-20 has limitations due to being an ultra short design relating to eyebox and image quality/resolution/fisheye. Is the 4-32 more forgiving in eyebox and...

Any idea what length Geissele super precision mount I'd need for either on an AR? There are so few out there...or if someone could give me the measurement from the BACK of the erector housing to the edge of the eyepiece lens, and then the distance between the erector housing and the...

What do you feel the useable upper range of the 32x was? Interesting to note the quoted exit pupil. The 32x is the same as with the ATACR 7x-35x, the 2.5x-20x the same as the 4x-16x ATACR (w/ 42mm Objective).

Having owned everything besides a S&B CC (Kahles, Vortex, ATACR, Minox) I'm here to say the Minox is the absolute pinnacle of 1-8 tech. Unparalleled. But for 95% of the capability a Vortex Razor gets you there. I disliked the Kahles reticle and its brightness suffers. The ATACR doesn't have a...

Jim was certainly a nice touch to any interactions with PRIME ammo. My wife proudly wears her shirt they sent. I hope they get it sorted - if not - Jim will be successful in whatever he pursues.
