[QUOTE="bcraft1111, post: 87865, member: 3580"] Well I guess I will speak my part as well! I saw all the comments on this forum about the NXS scopes and figured I would give one a try on a new rifle to save a few $ over the S&B. I shoot with a S&B PM II 4x16x50 on a Lazz Warbird I put a 8x32x56 NXS with the NP-R2 Reticle on a 300 wsm from GA precision. My first thoughts were that I would like it. But for hunting Whitetail deer in Mississippi it still leaves a lot to be desired. I fount it hard to see the reticle in a low lite situation without turning on the lighted reticle. Even in early evening shooting I found it to be hard to see. I found that when sighting in the Night force scope at 100 yards for example. It may be set on the second revolution or on the 2 line of the turret and if someone had been looking at the scope and changed the turret setting that I had to make sure it was on the 2 line again, Just 1 more thing to have to check when a 150 class Buck steps into the shooting lane. On my S&B I set the scope and set the turret to 0 that is it. No way to go past 0. I can just tell Murphy and his Law to go away. As for Clarity or Contrast I feel that having hunted with both of these scopes that the NF I had was Lacking in this department. The S&B was far better in the late evening shooting than the NF. I know what you are thinking, I am not comparing Apples to Apples a 32 power VS. a 16 but I would set them on the same power and still a big difference in the evening when most deer step out. So with that said I took off the NF and traded it in this week on a New S&B and feel much more prepared for this hunting season. This is just the thoughts from a deer hunter!
