1-8 / 1-10×

I need a LPVO with daylight bright illumination and uncapped turrets... I've kinda narrowed it down to an NX8 or a March shorty.
Anybody played with them both, especially side by side, is the March worth the price difference

I sighted in an nx8 yesterday, was pretty impressed with it. can't speak to the March. I've had good luck with the Vortex stuff, the dot is daytime visible.

Ya I'd grab a vortex if it didn't have capped turrets... I really want uncapped easily adjustable turrets which is why I kind of limited it to the nightforce and march

So this is my dumb opinion. The 1-8 ATACR is better than the NX8. Having said that I don't think any of the scopes you mentioned are daylight bright (at least not high noon in Texas bright). If you are not going to use the rifle to fight in the Ukrainian war, you might want to try the Primary Arms PLX line. They have a FFP and a SFP option that are absolutely daylight bright (Trijicon ACOG bright).

The March shorty DFP is a very unique scope. It has few faults and although I don't know for sure I'm guessing it's got similar IQ to the NX8. This March isn't spectacular in IQ but not bad either.

Although the illuminated dot is small in my March DFP 1-10 shorty it's pretty bright. Probably is brighter out there but I can see it on a nice day still.

The March is nice enough in so many ways I'm keeping it. The thought of getting a NX8 has never crossed my mind because I like the side focus on the March which I've used often to clean up the IQ which I prefer and in case as an option I put it on one of my airguns or 22's to hunt with.

Also consider this... For the price that I see of the March, you could get the ATACR 1-8 with a lifetime warranty that is daytime bright with a dot you can see and serviced here if something goes wrong. Just leave the turret caps off when needed.

Ive got a Leupold VX6 1-6 with the firedot reticle and it seems to be what I'd consider daylight bright... I just looked through an NX8 outside today and as best as I can tell without having them side by side which I didn't the NX8 looks just as bright as my VX6 firedot reticle. I've never seen a March 1-10 in person so I can't really know for sure but it looks bright in review videos and people claim that it is... It appears to be the same illuminated center fiber optic dot that the Leupold has.
Idk much about the primary arms scopes, I have one of their older 1-6 scopes that has worthless illumination but I've never seen one of their nova reticles in person... I do really want open tactical style turrets to quickly and easily dial elevation as I might end up running subs through the intended gun and hunting with it as well. I thought all the primary arms LPVOs I saw had capped elevation turrets
