[QUOTE="Rifleman97, post: 2020042, member: 103996"] I have not used the NX8 myself but I have looked through one, the 2.5-20 side by side with an ATACR. The glass is for all intents and purposes the same. The ATACR was slightly better but nothing that I would ever notice if they weren’t side by side. That said, the eye box really is not very forgiving on the 2.5-20, but it’s not as bad as some say. But, I wouldn’t want it on a deer rifle either. I also got to look through the 1-8 NX8, and that one actually had a worse eye box than the 2.5-20 did to my eyes. NX8 is also way lighter than the ATACR, and a lot shorter, but it felt very tough to me, didn’t feel like they sacrificed sturdiness at all. Turrets felt very similar to NXS, so really **** good but not ATACR good. But that’s the cost of weight and price reduction from the ATACR. I have not used one on a gun yet so I don’t have any opinion on real world use yet however, so someone else will have to chime in on that. Edit: to clarify, the NX8’s I looked through were both FFP, and the reticle at max mag did not cover all that much. Also, the illuminated reticle was a little confusing to use on the 2.5-20, but it did not cover anywhere near 5moa like someone said they had heard. At low magnification the reticle is unbelievably thin so at max mag it doesn’t cover very much. Have not looked through the SFP [/QUOTE]
