Does not look like they did
They recently introduced the "prism wedge" for elr. I haven't seen any new scopes.

Early rumors spoke about offering SFP NX8s in the 2.5-20 and 4-32 models.

yes, I believe they did. Precision optics has them listed on their website.
Not seeing any SFP models listed, only FFP. Hopefully they introduce SFP
Soon.

Neither do I... I'm thinking vaporware. I'm certain that eventually NF will release an SFP version of the NX8 and when they do I'll grab one. I hated the FFP 4-32 I owned. It was useless on the lower powers because even with the illuminated reticle I couldn't see the reticle at the lower powers.

I sent NF an email last week asking about a SFP NX8 in 4-32. Here was their reply.
"Something is in the works, but we do not have any kind of a release date "

At what magnification did the reticle become useable?

I never did actually figure that out but I'm pretty sure that even at 10 power it wasn't. I took it to the range once and when I wanted to shoot at 25 yards I already knew I was in trouble.
I managed to get it sighted in at 100 then 200 and was happy with clarity and shot some at 300 but when I tried to go back to reasonable hunting power for short to medium hunting ranges I simply couldn't see the reticle so I traded it for another ATACR and never looked back.
When I'm paying that much for a scope I won't put up with something so simple as not being able to see the reticle at low power where it will be used most of the time.
Over on The Hide a lot of people like them though so go figure. To each his own. I believe it was made to satisfy the PRS and F Class guys IIRC.
By the way.... Although I'd rather have a Nightforce than a Leupold I will say that the Leupold VX-5HD 7-35x56mm CDS-TZL3 part number 172754 is hard to beat especially for the street price of $1500 but the 7 power as the lower magnification is not conducive to stalking or that surprise close up shot.
