Something wrong with my NF ATACR?

Ive recently been going down a rabbit hole in reference to the best MPVO for my work gun. I have made comments to some that actually surprised me with how much Im really liking my Vortex Strike Eagle 3-18. I now have 2 of them. I just recently started comparing it to my NF ATACR 4-16 F1 T3 and i am disapointed in what im seeing. I have included photos to compare.

Ive noticed that my ATACR seems to have what appears to be a haze. I took both of these scopes an set them side by side. I then set both to matching power settings of both 4x, and then 10x to compare and take photos. The haze looks much worse to my eye, but can be seen in the photos as well, its just not as apparent. Both optics were zoomed into their max mag, side focus set, and then dialed back to the 4x before photos were taken. Same with 10x.

20250306_161202.jpg


First photo in each(1,3,5) comparison is the SE, Second photo in each(2,4,6) is the NF ATACR F1


Are the new SE 3-18 really this good, or have I gotten use to a NF that is cloudy/ hazy?

Has anyone else experienced this, or should i contact NF and see about sending it back? This thing tracks incredibly well as it should, but optically i have to say that i am a little disapointed as i compare it to other options.

AXSR POI shift with caliber change.

Edit: To be clear, I expected to see zero shift between barrels, just trying to determine what would be considered excessive.

I just started using an AXSR after getting set up with one with several barrels of different calibers. Had a question after my first range trip and thought I'd post this since I don't have any experience with this platform and according to most threads I've found this doesn't seem like the norm.

The gun came with the .300 Norma barrel and I also got a 20" .308 AI barrel, A 27" .338 Lapua AI barrel and a 24" Stainless Proof 6.5 Creedmoor barrel.
What is considered a typical zero shift when swapping between calibers or is there even a typical outcome?
I zeroed the gun with the .308 barrel (175 FGMM) and when I switched to the .300 Norma barrel (215 Berger OTM ammo) it was less than .2 mil off the .308 zero which is fantastic.

When I switched to the AI .338 Lapua barrel (Hornady 285 ELDM) it was 9.5” low and 4.5” left. Would this be considered within acceptable limits or does this sound unusual for this rifle?
I actually thought I did something wrong installing the .338 barrel so I loosened the locking bolt and barrel and re tightened everything and the shots went back into the same group. I understand not to expect it to hold the same zero between barrels and calibers, just wondering if this is typical.

Accessories Manners PRS2 700SA Americana

Great condition PRS2 in the beautiful Americana letters with high gloss. Has the mini chassis and a full length SRS Arca rail. Barrel channel supports a M40 contour. Only reason for selling is my hands are a little small for the trigger reach and need a chassis that accommodates my comp contour barrel. May regret this one, it’s a beauty! Stock only. Not the complete rifle as the picture shows.

Landman Series thread

I subscribed to Paramount + to watch Taylor Sheridan's Landman and am not dissapointed.
I binge watched Episodes 1-5 until I got caught up and just watched 6.

I was dissapointed Tommy and his thumpers didn't completely wreck 'Manny' and the other rat on the crew involved in his son's beating. I was hoping those pipe hitting n****** would go medieval on their asses with a plier and blowtorch.

I hope they do better when they find the others involved.

AI Straight Trigger shoe, NEWBIE AI QUESTION

So I am a brand new AI owner. Just recently purchased a AT-XC and am waiting on the arrival of it to Mile High. Every rifle I own has a flat trigger shoe, and was hoping to swap the original curved AI show for the flat shoe. I was informed that the XC is leaving dealers with the comp trigger, is this true? Also will there be any issue with putting this shoe on the trigger if its not a comp model?
Just a reminder I am new to the AI world, and currently picking up barrels as I go. :)

Chicoms still going strong


Well well well comrades. MAGA and DOGE is really the cultural revolution.

THis is why history and that learnin is so important! Destroying Government is the same as Forced Nationalization of all Industry!

I know I taunt everyone for not reading and being in the echo chamber around here, but as a full Dunning Krueger expert this is in fact the EXACT OPPOSITE of what almost all former chicom/N Korea people say. In fact it was all this DEI shit that was straight up cultural revolution/Red Guard. and that little performance the other night but the Democrats and their bowing to BLM/DEI/Trannies and forcing all of us to kowtow to their beliefs that every dissident I've read has said reminds them of Mao's Cultural Revolution.

I even put a post about it in the secret squirrel section a few years ago. Man I really hate these people lately.

Sorry I just really hate communists (I'm old)
Not sorry.
