I am looking to buy either a Vortex Razor HD 5-20x50 or a Nightforce NXS 5.5-20x56. I'm going to put it on a 7mm rem mag and was wondering if I could get some input before I make such a major purchase. They will cost me the same amount so money isn't an issue on which one is cheaper.

Thanks everyone

In my very limited experience I will comment on what I have seen between the two pieces of glass. I have an ATACR and my friend has the HD. They are both great IMO. The difference we see between the two is the HD seems to have more Pop or a crisper image in the full sun and the ATACR seems to limited the amout of light to some degree. We think it is due to a lense coating. However on a cloudy day, dusk or dawn the NF glass seems to have a more crisp image.

We have compared them at 11 pm at night with a full moon and the NF is far superior.

NSX line is not the ATACR. Big difference. The Vortex Razor will have better glass than the NSX line without a doubt.
