I have two of the 2.5-10x42 NXS and I would like to see how these compare.

I looked at it and it looks real good. They expect it to go balls out for them. There are 2 rules to success: 1. Never tell everything that you know.

This may be a reason for the introduction of the 3-10. Just my thoughts, I have no inside knowledge of their planning. There are 2 rules to success: 1. Never tell everything that you know.

I suspect there are some errors in the description. A 3-10x42 scope has a 50mm objective? The recticle is SFP? For those of you at the SHOT show or SCI, was it 50mm and SFP?

Then in the later 70's or so, it went to a 40mm, or I could be mistaken. Just FYI Randy NRA Patriot Life Benefactor
