[QUOTE="Okanogan, post: 1913237, member: 90397"] I can't comment on the Leupolds as I have never owned one of their top tier scopes. I have both NX8 2.5x20 and 4x32. Both are on gas guns rather than my primary hunting rifles. They work fine but to me can be a little more finicky than I like on eyebox limits and parallax adjustment. I generally shoot both at the upper limits of magnification, most often off a tripod at steel. I would not go so far as to say the NX8 would make a poor hunting scope, I just have another personal preference. I have two AMGs which reside on my two lighter weight bolt hunting rifles. I live out west and have open country so I again tend to take shots at higher magnification, most often while sitting. The AMGs to me strike a very nice balance of what I want in a hunting scope and I didn't pay $2500 for either of them. I gave up on the idea of shooting at running game with a rifle and so having 6x or 4x as a lower magnification range or having a FFP scope have not been issues to me. If I often hunted in heavy cover, I might feel differently. [/QUOTE]
