    Nightforce NX8 4-32 F1 Reticle illumination

    I have a new NX8 4-32x. I was checking the illumination on the reticle and I noticed there is "spill over" of the illumination onto the rest of the reticle such as the numbers and other marks. Is this something that can be adjusted or is this normal?

    Rifle Scopes help with elevation adjustment theory

    Re: help with elevation adjustment theory Thanks! Don't worry I was only using the inches to detail the theory. My initial question was just, is the adjustment independent of the magnification, now that I know that it is, I can sleep at night.

    Rifle Scopes help with elevation adjustment theory

    So after some further research I have decided to "cry once" and get a nightforce nxs f1 with matching reticle and mil adjustment. My question is, with sighting. It is my understanding that at 100 yards .1mil adjustment would be around .36 inches. Am I right to assume this is regardless of zoom...

    Rifle Scopes My first high end optic. Need advice

    So I am constantly looking in the FAQ and although I'm sure this question had likely been asked, I can't find anything that helps. I bought a Leupold mark 4 10x m1. Correct me if I am wrong but there seems to be two camps with optics. One for target precision shooting and one for hunting. I...
