[QUOTE="Full Curl, post: 2908492, member: 47602"] I recently topped my 300RUM with a new NightForce NX8 4-32x50 F2 C641 scope and have started load development. The scope is great but sometimes the illuminated reticle automatically turns on after the rifle is fired… during the recoil process. I can simply turn it off but it got to the point where it was distracting and just plain annoying. I ended up pulling the battery and honestly don't use illumination very often, but it's sure nice to have when needed in the field. I contacted NF and they said I can ship the scope back to them. I found some old threads where guys have seemingly fixed this on their own with other NF models. Wondering if anyone has experienced this recently with a NX8 and if anyone has been able to fix it on their own? I have some hunts lined up here over the next few months so if it has to go back to NF, it won't be until early 2024. Any feedback is appreciated, thanks! [/QUOTE]
