The nxs is on par or better than all my Mk 4's but the vx6 is as good to my eye as Swarovski.

All I can say is that as far as variables go, in regards to precision shooting, the only scopes I trust 100% are NF NXS.
Other scopes I trust are FIXED. Mark 4s 10X and 16X, Weaver T and KT series with Micro Trac, and (possibly) SWFA SS.
I am only on my second SWFA SS, if it tracks as well as the first one did, I guess I will give it the stamp of approval of scopes I would recommend to a friend..........

A couple days ago I did a 200 yard test on a 10x SS...on a very accurate 6.5 CM ..Elevation was great but windage flat sucked. This was 16 3x groups at 200 with 1, 2, and 3 mils in the box and I dialed it 2x desired setting and returned before the group. It was hanging up on the windage big time...then jumped.
Not saying this was the case for you, but I've seen that happen with the set-screw turrets slipping on the fixed power scopes when the screws were just school-girl tight. The 3-9 is splined, so can't slip by default.

The SS 3-9's have been dead nuts for me. I also recall Formidilosus mentioning several times that the 3-9's and fixed powers were on his list of all-time most reliable few scopes, and that guy sees a LOT of rounds go down range with a lot of different glass.

The two SS 3-9's I own have been dead nuts for me also, with the exception of both having poorly glued center/revolution indicators on the elevation turrett. Easily corrected...

David I've had to re-glue one, as well. The fixed powers aren't immune either, though.

I have the 3x9 on a 30 06,with excellent results. I also have the 3x15 on my 243. In almost 3 years of being in the truck,and hunting coyotes,( or something else) almost constantly,I have made 1 horizontal adjustment of just 1 click. I dial the crap out of that scope, and it never fails.Made a 1shot kill on a coyote last week at 500 yds under less than ideal conditions to say the least. The scopes are rock solid. If I miss I am certain now that it is pilot error, not the gun or scope.Nice to have that confidence in my equipment.

For the cost of the NXS, my Leupold 3-18 mark 6 whips my NXS's ass in every category. Short, lighter, brighter, tracks true as hell. I doubt I will buy another NSX unless it is the 2.5-10 variant, i absolutely love this mk6
