    Rifle Scopes NX8 4-32 vs ATACR 4-16X42....The gas gun dilemma

    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...

    Rifle Scopes NX8 4-32 vs ATACR 4-16X42....The gas gun dilemma

    "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. "

    Rifle Scopes NX8 4-32 vs ATACR 4-16X42....The gas gun dilemma

    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...

    Rifle Scopes NX8 4-32 vs ATACR 4-16X42....The gas gun dilemma

    Is the eyebox comparable if you stay around 25x?

    Rifle Scopes NX8 4-32 vs ATACR 4-16X42....The gas gun dilemma

    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...

    Rifle Scopes NX8 4-32 vs 2.5-20, Anyone with first hand comparison of eyebox and IQ?

    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...

    Rifle Scopes NX8 4-32 vs 2.5-20, Anyone with first hand comparison of eyebox and IQ?

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

    Rifle Scopes NX8 4-32 vs 2.5-20, Anyone with first hand comparison of eyebox and IQ?

    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...

    Rifle Scopes NX8 4-32 vs 2.5-20, Anyone with first hand comparison of eyebox and IQ?

    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...

    Rifle Scopes New high power Nightforce NX8?

    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...

    Rifle Scopes New high power Nightforce NX8?

    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).

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce atacr 1-8 vs kahles 1-6

    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...

    PRIME Ammo Out of Stock?

    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.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce NEW Mil-XT reticle

    Can they PLEASE stick this thing in an NXS F1 or SHV F1 so I can stop thinking about going all Vortex for familiarities sake across rifle platforms (.22LR - 6.5CM - SR25 - AR15)

    Rifle Scopes Minox ZP8 1-8 vs Nightforce ATACR 1-8

    I've owned both, and compared directly side by side. My opinion: The Minox ZP8 is the better optic. If Minox sticks a little more illum in it it'd be near perfect. The ATACR F1, I could not under any circumstance, make the diopter work at both 1x and 8x. No amount of fiddling across several...

    Rifle Scopes SHOT Show 2019 Releases

    I just think it odd that such great glass and features are plagued by sub optimal reticles, the part of the scope formula which SEEMS the easiest to get right. I know horus has IP of their reticles - but hell I don't think most of us on this forum need or want the Horus offerings in their...
