[QUOTE="scrmblr1982cj8, post: 1203273, member: 69799"] I've got a number of NF scopes, including the ATACR in 5.5-22x56, several NXS scopes in 5.5-22x56, and a few SHVs. From reading your posting, it looks like weight is an important issue for you. From the NF website: SHV 4-14x56 is 26.9 ounces SHV 5-20x56 is 29.1 ounces NXS 5.5-00x56 is 32 ounces NXS 8-32x56 is 34 ounces ATACR 5-25x56 is 38 ounces I'm not the most gentle person, so I prefer durability (the NXS line). I also live in South Carolina and stand hunt, so at most, I'd have a 300 yard walk from where I park to the stand, so weight is not an issue for me. If I lived out west and had to haul around an extra pound for miles of trail, it might be a different issue. ATACRs are amazing scopes, but the heaviest of the NF offerings. I've had zero issues with the SHV scopes I own. I've got them on .308/7.62s I use mostly for hog hunting. They've not lost zero with all of the banging around I've put them through, so I'd have no reservations about recommending one for you. You have a nice problem, in that you really cannot make a bad decision. [/QUOTE]
