[QUOTE="brentc, post: 1316191, member: 16938"] Although I appreciate the durability and overall features of the NXS, there are some things that drive me absolutely nuts. One, I can never expect to be parallax free when the target is in focus. I find myself constantly checking my parallax with my NXS because I can't use focus to shortcut the parallax adjustment. It drove me nuts trying to figure out what was going on with wandering zeros and irregular group sizes until I noticed that with the NXS, focused picture does not equal parallax free. I've been spoiled too long with scopes that are parallax free when the target is in focus. The next thing is the magnification adjustment. I don't like that the whole ocular end of the scope turns, not just a magnification ring. I have never gotten used to the flip switch being in a different location every time I adjust the magnification. I won't own another NXS. In fact, I'll probably offload my last remaining NXS and replace it with a Vortex AMG. I also have a Leupold VX6HD on order for another rifle, so I guess we'll see how it tests out, too. [/QUOTE]
