[QUOTE="HSmithTX, post: 2511263, member: 121677"] As far as looking through the scope the Tract is head and shoulders better optically than any NF I have used but the Tract will 'tunnel' more in the low powers, mine does up to maybe 7-8x. Look through it and turn the power up and down, you will see what I mean, this doesn't bother me because I really can't see or use the reticle until about 8x anyway. I don't know it to be true but I suspect the NF will take more abuse than the Tract before it breaks. I haven't and don't plan on abusing mine intentionally to find out but normal use and hunting should tell the story over the next few years. I also think the Tract is substantially better than the NF in VERY low light conditions, well outside normal legal shooting times for big game but I hog hunt a lot so it's important to me. The NF is PLENTY good in normal legal shooting hours and beyond. NF will have better resale value also due to the reputation. I am very happy with my Tract ELR scope, and plan to buy another. That said, if I knew I needed an optic that was going to get beat up on the regular I would probably opt for the NF until I have enough experience with the Tract to understand if it will hold up under abuse. The NF reputation is deserved and they are proven. [/QUOTE]
