I'm a convert over to NF. Extra weight is not a deal breaker as it translates into durability. I have 2 NXS 2.5-10x32's, Gathers plenty of light to as late as I want to hunt PLUS the 32 OBJ is a dandy size as my rifles spend quite a bit of time in a scabbard of some sort.
The bolded statement is incorrect. Extra weight can also mean inferior design and engineering.
The edit was fhuqking funny! Hint.
As per your versions of "knowledge","experience" and "results",do cite the relationship of mass to internals. Especially given the fact,that you'd have to purchase a scope with a scratch,to be able to speak in the firsthand about actual use. Hint.

Obviously not, there's a big ol' bullet hole in that scope.
The solder was able to continue is mission. The NXS worked fine and held it's zero...
I always chuckle when people post that picture with the words “bullet proof”, for exactly the same reason. There’s a bullet hole through the tube, and it was just plain lucky that the bullet missed the important optical/mechanical elements. Several scope lines are known to tenaciously hold zero, and likely would have held up equally well to a bullet through the tube that missed the lenses and erector assy.
I’m glad the mission was able to continue after the scope tube took a bullet, but I think implying that this means the NXS is “bullet proof” is a bit overplayed.

You and I have a different understanding of the words "bullet proof." The rifle tube has a bullet hole in it; that makes it NOT bullet proof. If the bullet had been a half inch on either side of where it it hit, the scope would have been a lot worse off.
It's like when you read or hear about someone getting shot and the bullet missed a vital organ or blood vessel by scant fractions of an inch and thus the person survived. That does not make them "bullet proff."
Let me introduce you to a new concept that explains it all: LUCK.
The flip to that tho - there are a lot of scopes that had more issues than the Nightforce did and they didn't see near as much "trauma" as a round through the scope.

Exactly

Granted, but that does not make the Nightforce "bullet proof", which was the whole (hole?) point.
