[QUOTE="ZReed85, post: 2990923, member: 95775"] Yes, I kept the shv because the field of view and eye box both are significantly better for the ranges and hunting style intended for the rifle. I bought both the nx8 at the same time when they came out and they simply let me down. NX6 would have been a much better choice for nightforce, we'd all have them on everything we own. Also forums are funny places, you talk about head placement and fundamentals on a scope that you've never even mounted yet according to original post. You've had several seasoned shooters on this thread and there are literally dozens of threads on multiple forums about nx8 eyebox and parallax issues. For some reason you seem offended by those opinions on an optic that you honestly have not used enough to develop any sort of opinion about. You've put zero rounds down range with it and it's not even mounted yet. I'm glad you like your optic and I hope it serves you well, but find it interesting you asked for input about the nx8 then were offended when people who have actually used the optic had different opinions then yours. I've never said the nx8 are unusable, both models felt tight so I opted not to use them. Lots of great options out there so I chose to pursue other avenues. [/QUOTE]
