[QUOTE="AC300RUM, post: 3062843, member: 40196"] I have owned 3 MK5hd’s, all 3.6-18’s, two illuminated and one non illuminated. All TMR reticles. I really really wanted them to be my go to do all optic. Two of the three lost zero. Tracked fine, but lost zero for absolutely no reason. One had a sideways jump of 1.5” out of the blue during a range session. Re zeroed and 50 round later it did it again. Second issue I had a big (3”) at 100 vertical shift with a separate scope. Found out the hard way when I spined a nice buck when I was holding for a lung shot at 550 yards. Took the rifle to the range the next week and sure enough, zero was lost. I could not get the scope to hold a vertical zero for more than a couple rounds. I sent both of those scopes in for repair, both came back with a “inspected and repaired” slip in a few weeks. I can’t fault the customer service, I just hate having to use it. All my MK5’s have been rehomed. I went to the 4-16 ATACR next, and it’s just too **** heavy, which I could live with if I didn’t have to adjust the ocular lens cover ever time I changed power. The rotating eyepiece is dumb, they need to change that. So on to the NX8 2.5-20. I’m firmly in the camp that it’s just hard to get behind. The eye box isn’t for me. It’s a hard scope to mount too, being short with a 50mm front end, so maybe that’s it. So I moved on to the NX8 4-32x50, and it’s been the best compromise I can find. No eye box issues, glass is great, turrets are great (if only the elevation turret locked) and they are tough as hell. My only complaints are the illumination system is ok at best, and for some reason they didn’t give yardage markings on the parallax adjustment. Otherwise it seems to fit the bill pretty **** good. Sorry for the long winded answer, hope this helps a little. [/QUOTE]
