[QUOTE="timmay, post: 2576957, member: 38081"] Considering one of these for a hunting scope on a lightweight 308. Shooting deer/elk no more than 500 yards and target maybe out to 1000 at the most. Mk5 HD 3.6-18x44 NX8 2.5-20X50 RS.5 4-24X50 I could go FFP as long as the reticle is useful on low power. the Mark 5 comes only FFP the NX8 either ffp/sfp and the Maven RS.5 SFP only Ive looked through the NX8 and Mark 5 but never held a Maven. I like both but lean slightly more to the Mk5 except the reticle I prefer (PR-1 Mil) seams to get pretty tiny on low power and Leupold wants way too much extra for illumination. Both NX8 and Maven come illuminated. Maven has the center dot illumination which I like, NX8 only has center dot illumination on the SFP F2 mil reticle, which Id be fine with. Also like the Mil-C reticle in FFP Dont know much about the Maven other than it gets great reviews There is always a war between people when asking about the NX8 vs MK5. Seems like these two groups want to bash the other. I just want unbiased opinions [/QUOTE]
