Sorry, I'm just now seeing this. Vortex in general tend to have a reputation for being less durable than NF scopes. And I can attest to the durability of the NX8. In the same day last season, I literally slipped and landed on top of my rifle and then also dropped it onto scree from shoulder height. Late that same evening I bang/flopped a cow elk in her tracks at 465 yds. POI was exactly where it was supposed to be. So, that kinda sold me on the durability of NF in general. I've had and still have lots of Vortex products. I've sent back Rangefinders, spotting scopes, and rifle scopes to have warranty work done. I love that warranty. I just hate that I've needed to use it so much. So, long answer to your short question, I just have more faith in the durability and repeatability of the NX8.
Thanks! I can't remember off the top of my head, but I want to say it was either 6.2 or 6.5 lbs without scope, rings, bipod. I'll take a look when I get home tomorrow evening.
