[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 2237012, member: 97050"] I might be missing what the power range has to do with timber. Coming from a guy who hunts open high country and finds game around alpine timber cuts every year. On paper the mark 5 with a 56mm obj and a 35mm tube is the better scope…[B]as a long range scope[/B]…consider the forum we are on. The mk5’s competitor is the Nightforce Atacr. What you’re looking to do is pivot and go a complete different direction, optically. If you are that low (5x or less) in the power range, then I assume you are that close to the timber, and you won’t be using the reticles features on a nx8 F1. The only other reason to be that low would be a wider fov. As someone else said, you can turn on the illumination and essentially use it as a reddot though, especially inside a point blank range or if you know your poa/poi. The NXS, your stuck with second focal plane, making it..in my opinion, not as good for long range as using the reticle as a form of measuring or implementing your dope becomes constricted. [/QUOTE]
