[QUOTE="Mc Fraser, post: 2038826, member: 106529"] I agree with all you said and I will add the following: 1. There is a design flaw with the illumination, you have to be perfectly aligned to avoid the bell lighting up. I tried my best at the range with no success. Essentially in low light or dark situations no matter what illumination intensity one uses or reticle colour the bell lights up. NF is aware of the situation but they do not consider it a manufacturing defect, it's a design disadvantage at best. 2. What up with that cheap plastic, poor design, stupidly expensive lens covers? I don't have words to describe how disappointed I am ... for this reason alone I'm considering selling my scope. I am so furious .... urrrrr ... <calming down> Are there other options available for caps that are similar in quality to Leupold ones? I will also add that I have it on a 300 PRC built on a Defiance anTi action, 26 in HCA carbon barrel with a 3 port Ti brake and Hawkins 25 MOA hybrid rings. At magnifications of 8x and lower I can see the brake in the scope, it covers about the size of a water drop. be careful with NX8's F2 being compact .... For the record, I own the NX8 4-32x50 F2 [/QUOTE]
