New Contest Starting Now! This Target Haunts Me
Tell us about the one that got away, the flier that ruined your group, the zero that drifted, the shot you still see when you close your eyes. Winner will receive a free scope!
Whether they are right or wrong, the comparison between the NX8 and Razor is going to happen based solely on cost. In a perfect world people wouldn't look at the price tag until they had already decided what tool best fit their mission, but that's not the way it works. I can't speak with...
I think most people will compare the Razor 1-6 to the NX8, and save the ATACR comparisons for other top-tier 34mm optics such as the Leupold CQBSS, Minox ZP8, and S&B Short Dot. The Razor and NX8 are sorta in the same ball park price-wise, while the ATACR is not, and lets face it, $$$ is...
Well, I took the optic out for a quick spin today to zero at 100 yards. It was COLD COLD COLD, so I only fired 20 rounds for zero. I had intended to shoot much longer, both on the long range steel field and also doing some stuff in a 50 yard bay, but the temp and winds were not cooperating. So...
For now it will be going on a 14.5" SR-15 Carbine. It will also spend some time on a SR-25 ACC once my *other* NX8 shows up. I'll order the ATACR at some point for the SR-25s.
Best out there to who, and for what? I'm pretty sure the target market for the NX8 and ATACR 1-8 is .mil/LE. I don't see many photos of guys overseas running Swaros on their working rifles, or CONUS on LE patrol rifles. Pretty sure that there will be plenty of photos of NF 1-8s in both settings...
I spoke with KAC directly about this at SHOT, and I should have one of the pre-production 6.5 uppers headed my way to play with shortly.
They are seeing group average hovering in the .7's with factory Prime 130 ammo.
Do you need illumination? If so, get the PST. If not, pick whichever one offers the reticle you like the most. I didn't care for my PST Gen II 2-10 or 3-15, and I think the Leupold has better glass, but that's just me. I hate that huge elevation turret on the Leupold.
Haven't shot the Short Dot much, but I have a Minox with the MR10+ reticle. I've played with the NF ATACR for a few days, and the illumination in the NF is significantly better than the Minox's. Reticle is usually user preference, I prefer the NF reticle over the Minox as well. The Minox will be...
Leupold Mk6 with the C2 turrets is good to go. Avoid the B2 turrets. If weight is a concern then the Leupold is pretty much the only game in town. I’ve run one for two years now, not “off a bench” either, and it has been great.
