[QUOTE="brentc, post: 1514964, member: 16938"] Both have astounding top tier glass. As indicated above, the decision is personal preference in regards to ergonomics. The March is a low profile lightweight optic built for maximum maneuverability with a 10x mag ratio and top tier glass. Even though the scope is built "light" it is regarded as suitable for heavy duty use. Some complain about a finicky parallax with the March because it requires less rotation of the parallax knob to make a significant difference in correction. I personally like it. I like that when I have a crystal clear target image, there is no parallax. I've had trouble in this regard with the NF NXS. The ATACR, however, is better than the NXS at removing parallax. Another knock I've seen on the March is a tight eyebox at high magnification on the 42mm scopes. Some users complain about it, some think it's fine. I haven't personally experienced this or anything close to what I would consider a tight eyebox on my 52mm. Another complaint I've seen is the March Zero Stop. Users set the zero stop and then they crank the dial down and jam it hard against the zero stop, which causes the dial to stick. IMO, the March Zero stop is a feature of brilliance and simplicity requiring no special tool to adjust, that is, unless you just don't have a penny in your pocket. Seriously though, it's hard to mess up. The Nightforce is a Heavy Duty 34mm tubed tactical scope built for maximum durability and hard use with top tier glass. The Zero stop on the ATACR is the same as the NXS with the exception of the 4-16x42 F1 with the locking turret. Both scopes are brutally reliable and are built to dial. They are both known to track true and return to zero as expected for scopes in the $2.5K price range. [/QUOTE]
