[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1291718, member: 33822"] I've run the AMG side by side with an NXS and to my eye the AMG glass is superior... better clarity/contrast/color and low light performance. The locking turrets are a big plus for the AMG as is the FFP reticle (understand others like SFP). The AMG weighs less too. I also prefer the AMG reticle over the MOAR. Also like how the AMG ocular does not rotate with the magnification ring. I know some of these are small things, but to me the AMG just has better features all around. I do also agree that the #1 most important feature is reliability. None of the other features matter if the scope falls apart. In my opinion where NF has missed the mark is with the 34mm main tube on the ATACR. If the AMG reliability proves out and they expand the line, the AMG will prove to be superior to the NXS. But it will have real competition with an ATACR on a 30mm tube in the same weight range. And if the AMG reliability fails, I'll be switching back to an NXS/ATACR because it is so reliable... last year I sold my ATACR to "upgrade" to the AMG because of all the features and lower weight... so I sure hope this AMG keeps working!
