[QUOTE="AaronSkipDavidson, post: 1891523, member: 6373"] I think they landed nicely for magnification and size. With Gunwerks 100 percent first focal plane (it took 2 yrs to implement that one!), it was an attractive compact package to consider. Although, with that wide a magnification range, a useable reticle is really hard to design. After spending several years and quite a bit of cash developing the Revic PMR smart rifle scope, I became really fond of non-raising turrets. The Revic has non raising, locking, and tooless zero technologies built into the adjustments, not to mention the first position encoders of it's kind. With all of the ballistics onboard and a micro display, it truly is a revolutionary product. With the Japan OEM supplier Gunwerks/Revic and Nightforce use, they supply the optical assembly package and the customer develops the rest. The nx8 uses essentially the same turret mechanism nf has perfected over 20 years. It's good, but old. The optical package is cool, but in ffp, how useable is the range? Are the other optical trade offs worth it? Sometimes we catch hell when I make a decision about where I limit the options to our rifle systems. It was really hard to eliminate sfp options! But, when I really believe that the customer will benefit, we'll go against the stream to make it happen. Other good examples would be BDC turrets, and the 7mm Rem Mag cartridge, I think we should get credit for saving it from the 300 RUM back in the day! I like the nx8 lineup, and like nf products it's going to work. The sexy mag range just wasn't enough to pull me in. But then again, I know how the sausage is made, and as evidenced by the Revic PMR, I like really substantive, cool/new technology! [/QUOTE]
