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 exhibit the edge to edge clarity issues that the 2-20x NX8 does. I would optimally like 20-25x high end magnification available (all I use on my 7-35 ATACR) so the 4-16x42 ATACR would fall short in offered mag, the 4-32 NX8 would deliver the requested magnification but at *those* magnifications I'm not sure that IQ and and eyebox would be tolerable. I have no means to physically interact with these scopes.
Q1) For those that have personally interacted with both (seems not a lot of 4-32x experience available) if I stuck to 20-25x on the 4-32 NX8, is the eyebox tight? Am I going to hate life with it on a rifle without an adjustable stock?
Q2) Does the 4-32 NX8 design yield better IQ and less distortion than the complaints against the 2-20x NX8 bringing it closer overall to ATACR IQ?
