[QUOTE="brentc, post: 1422047, member: 16938"] It's a tough scope, no disputing that. But, it's behind it's time because the comparable market is using XD glass, adjustable illumination, higher magnification ratios, and are just as mechanically sound. Having said that, I could live with these NXS shortcomings for $500-700 less than the current $2028 MAP for a NXS 5.5-22. The thing I chose not to live with on the NXS is the screwy parallax. When I adjusted to zero parallax the image was out of focus. Inversely, when the image was focused I had excessive parallax and my zero would wander. I went through several procedures suggested by NF to remedy, but I never could get it right with the NXS so I sent them down the road. From what I gather, it's a fairly common occurrence with the NXS. Most shooters don't notice or mind it, but it is something I chose not to live with when there are plenty of other scopes available that don't have the issue. It's not broken, but it could be better with more competitive pricing and a couple design changes, but applying the necessary fixes would make it competitive with the ATACR at a much more attractive price. I doubt you'll see anything more than minor design updates to keep it at its current price point. [/QUOTE]
