[QUOTE="shooters, post: 1824844, member: 7769"] Well shoot. I have two 5-25x56 Mark 5HD’s on both my Carbon 300 Ultras as well as a 5-25x56 ATACR. I’ve personally had zero issues with my Mark 5HD’s but I haven’t spent enough time “abusing” them. My biggest concern is durability on the lightweight carbon gun and assumed the Nightforce would be more robust...but it’s actually lighter weight. Also assumed the NX8 would have had better glass....but I really like my Mark5HD and to be quite honest, I think my Mark 5’s are on the same level as the ATaCR except I notice the ATACR scope housing disappears when looking through it while I really notice the Mark 5’s housing as well as the ATACR has seems to have a much wider field of view. All in all, I’m completely happy with the Mark 5. I also do not really care for the AMG reticle. And I honestly prefer the PR1 MOA reticle as well due to the center dot and the reticle is very usable on 5 power. I prefer it over my MOART. You may have just made my mind up for me. For a long time, I was stuck in the mind set that if it didn’t say NF on it, I didn’t want it. The NX8 seemed so intriguing with the “mostly” ED glass, NF reliability, the 32 mag range and its lightweight. 🤔 Hmmm. Thanks Highdrum [/QUOTE]
