[QUOTE="lowdowndirtybugger, post: 3023692, member: 88303"] I have the mk5. 5-25 my brother has the nx8 4-32. Honestly both have great glass. The mk is a little easier to get behind at mid to high powers. The nx8 at 4 power seems to be easier for getting on target at really close ranges for hunt scenarios. The mk locking turrets are bomb. I've had my mk for a couple of years. I've carried stage to stage by the objective, I've stabilized the stot by holding the scope. I've never had a 0 shift. Alot of shift can come from the way the scope is mounted. For example are you rings and rail bedded? A .01" shift at the scope can be 1" at the target. That's an unseeable amount. I sent a high end scope in for warranty because It kept shifting 0. I got a new one same thing. I was ****ed. Everything seemed tight. I was oiling it after a frustrating shooting season where my gun got wet and noticed a bead of oil would push out from under the rail when I put pressure on the scope. *** so small you couldn't feel it or see it otherwise. I bedded the rail and rings and the 0 shift went away. Now I feel bad for sending a scope back for my misgivings. Both of these two scopes you are asking about are high quality and would serve you well. [/QUOTE]
