[QUOTE="ridgeline300, post: 2049285, member: 113270"] Building a lightweight 7 SAUM and need to decide on an optic. Here are my thoughts: I love nightforce and have never had an issue with my NXS. I have 100% confidence in them for reliability. I like the thought of FFP but how useable are the NX8’s on lower power? Say 6-10x. My thought is if i go ffp then there is no reason to not go with the 4-32 as i wouldn’t be giving up hardly any weight over the 2.5-20. Or do i go SFP in the 2.5-20 so the reticle is visible throughout the whole spectrum and assume if I’m doing any hole over it will be at full power and subtensions will be easy to remember?? next thought- Mark 5 3.6-18x44. I know leupolds don’t have the best track record but the Mark 5 on my PRS gun has been great so far. The reticle is awesome from low to high power. Saves a few ounces off the nx8 too. Locking turret is a plus as well. Thoughts?? [/QUOTE]
