A few years back, I had to sell my AI AT rifle and my NightForce ATACR.
I am now in a position to get a new AI AT, but I am unsure about the scope choice. I have narrowed it down to a NightForce NX8 4-32x50 and an Athlon Cronus BTR 4.5-29x56 -- Both in MOA.
I like the MOA reticles in these two scopes, since the sub tensions are a bit thicker -- Better for my old eyes. The thicker reticle is part of the reason why I am considering the NX8 over the ATACR.
I am hoping someone out there owns (or has used) both of these scopes and can give me some insight on how they compare. Such as: Glass quality / Repeatability / Eye box.
Durability will likely not be much of a concern for me, since it will likely just go from my safe to my car to the range and back again.
Any help / insight would me much appreciated.
