Good post but now I need to look through an swfa 3-9HD as I was under the impression the NXS glass was not too bad.
They're pole vaulting over mouse turds, or repeating what they've heard versus what they've measured.
Old NXS glass was actually REALLY good.... in resolution. Everything is a give and take and NF at the time decided to put their efforts to resolution. Actually lay a 3-15x NF side by side with ANY other scope and measure what you can actually resolve, and it will match or beat any scope. They don't have the color "pop" that others like S&B have, but they are still very good. They were better than any Leupold of the time, and only the VX6 has caught up.
The "new" NXS's like the 2.5-10x42mm and especially the ATACR's have world class "glass".
