Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics NX8 Nightforce line - Stay Tuned

Cap the windage and put a forceplex with the digilum in it and I'd get another.....give it a fixed parallax or make it so the parallax isn't as touchy and I'd end up with several of them.

I have no problem with someone wanting more x's for hunting or long range play. I spent a while with the 4.5-18 lrhs and I can enjoy the 18x at the bench. For my preferences and use though, I'll take a 2.5-10x42 that weights 1/2 a lb less.

Confirmed FFP.

I shiver at the thought of a magnum anymore. A neighbor is killing deer with it.

Looking good Clint. I like more x's at times myself......probably my 58 yr old eyeballs. Glad to see a 30mm tube instead of the new 34mm fad.

I hear ya......6.5 Creedmoor is more my style these days!!

For a hunting rig thats exactly what I'd like. 10x with no parallax adjustment. Illumination knob like on the 32mm. Capped windage. SFP is good for me on a 10X.

Johnny, I hear you on the 30mm. Now my position is that I'll never have a 34mm, but thats what I said about a 30mm.

Myself as well. The 7mag doesn't get used near as much as it used to.

300Mag, that rifle is crazy accurate, probably the best I've ever seen at that weight.

Mil-C....

Thanks for the info.

I agree on the wish for a lighter mid-power model for a hunting scope. These scopes look superb for a belly gun.

Probably won’t happen, but I’d take several. And I’d be fine with even a 32 mm objective.

With literally no one dialing windage, I don't get the hold out on the cap. A locking turret will work too.

And the honking big parallax/illumination knob is an abomination on anything with a the name of "compact".

I should clarify that the 1/2 lb less comment was in reference to the NSX 2.5-10 at 20.5 oz vs the NX8 2.5-20 at 28 oz.

True.

The lack of desire to offer the plain Forceplex reticle in the NSX series amazes me. I was told they had many requests for it but no plans to offer it.

No, but I dial spin drift when shooting at 800 and beyond.

SFP with a MOAR, sign me up. FFP at 2.5x with a reticle that is usable at 20x? Does it come with a magnifying glass so you can see the reticle?

If you're buying a scope to mostly use at lower powers this is NOT the scope for you.

I can only guess, but I would think it’s simply a crosshair at lower powers.

A small 2.5-20 appeals to me. A lot. But then it’s a 50mm obj and weighs 28oz which dampens my enthusiasm. I really do not understand the use case for the Mil-C reticle. You have a scope with exposed dials, then have this fine scale ruler of a reticle. 5 MIL of windage? Shooting in a hurricane? All I can assume is that this a precision rifle competition thing.

Seems to have a number of people fawning over it so I guess some see this as the right combination of traits. I’m sure it’s a great scope, I’m just not sure for what.

Maybe a 2-16x36 with a Forceplex-like reticle with about 2MIL of windage reference and weighing about 20oz will join the family in the future?

prm, I hear you on the reticle, and agree. I'd be happy if NF would just bring back the Mildot.
