[QUOTE="A1C, post: 2728038, member: 105373"] I fought going the route of NF for several years as they’re very trendy in my circle (not because they aren’t a great scope) and only have one 4-32x50 with mil-xt reticle. I wasn’t trying to avoid NF per se but there’s a bunch of friends of mine that claim it’s the only mid to high end scope worth shooting which is completely false IMO. I own a good amount of different kind of mid to high end scopes 1k-4k range and as much as I wanted to stay off the NF bandwagon for 2,150 it’s a great scope with solid value. The tracking on it is fantastic… the glass for the price range is great, turrets have stayed true whether at the range or banging it around in the mountains. The magnification lever makes it so easy to change… I like the reticle and if you’re into the illumination you can go red or green and it’s definitely bright. I’ve got it on my 300 PRC ultralight mountain rifle and it handles that recoil easily. On a scope with such magnification range you’re obviously giving a couple of things up (tiny crosshair at 4x) but if you’re looking for something with high mag range in that price range FFP I don’t think you can argue there’s a clear better option than the NX8 though it’s not your only option. If you’re not used to mid to higher end scopes I don’t see how you’d be disappointed but it might end up being a gateway drug for you. Good luck [/QUOTE]
