Nightforce NX8 1-8x24 FFP illum Riflescope FC-Mil ZeroStop 0.2 MRAD PTL C598

This will be interesting. I found a store display model for 1100.00+ 5.00 S/H

Woot woot!!!!!!

I had one and liked it very much. I went with the NX8 over the ATACR for reduction in size and weight.

I like my nx8 a lot. I run it on a 11.5” sbr and the ability to run it like a red dot and have that magnifyication is great. I just picked up nightforce ATACR and it is a awesome piece of glass! ATACR is going on my sr25

I had one and liked it very much. I went with the NX8 over the ATACR for reduction in size and weight.

I have been on this journey to find something that was durable that offered great glass and exceptional all-around capability/ reliability.

The primary use for this optic is hog hunting and possibly other things....... When I have a chance to get to a range as to where I am able to zero it and get some time on the trigger with it, I'll certainly provide a range report.

Just so folks know, I have been looking into something like this for a few years now and started off with buuuuuudget finds, (No money Spent - just shooting what's on others firearms as folks would let me sling around or to just to get a snapshot of what the optic was like.) I have been very grateful to folks for letting me do so as there have been nuances with each optic I cared for or did not care for ultimately coming to the conclusion of the NF NX8.

Pricey---- YES, however, this optic has more reliability than the budget optics offer as well as NF's service/ Warranty service.

NF's Customer service is phenomenal- Extremely knowledgeable in the product and willing to assist in your decision-making process to go with what you need even if it is not the most expensive optic.

Here is their warranty and a link to where you can pull it up yourself. https://www.nightforceoptics.com/support/warranty

I have to tell ya, I was able to take my buddy's NX8 home with me for a week and look at the performance and reliability over a course of 5 days on my range (more reflexive fire and learning the reticle at various ranges with the Ammo I am shooting.)

Congrats, let us know how it goes

I will absolutely do so as soon as it shows up and I have it mounted. I'd like to do it the next time I go shoot pigs..... Not entirely sure when that will be however I am going up to visit some RI's in 5th RTB in a week or two and go there quite often so if the optic doesn't come on this trip, it will certainly be on the next I have opportunities to do some mountain pig hunting.

Respectfully
Chris
