Looking to upgrade from an NXS 5.5-22x56 to a newer FFP design. The budget is $2k-ish and not much more. I’ve done a lot of research, I know this is a kind of strange matchup, but I have it narrowed down to these three:
NX8 4-32 Mil-XT
Razor Gen 2 4.5-27 EBR-7C
and for a wild card...
Minox ZP5 5-25 MR4
Criteria:
FFP/mil/mil
>22x
Illuminated tree reticle with .2 mil wind
Zero stop
Capped or locking windage would be nice
Tough/durable
This is strictly for personal, hobby type use on our local 1,000 yard range. Don’t care about weight— it’s going on a Bergara BMP that’s already pretty chunky. I thought I’d settled on the Gen 2 but then the NX8 came out and threw a wrench in the works. I was trying to choose between the two when I learned about the eurooptic 50% off deal. Now I have analysis paralysis.
These three seem to be the best options in the ~2k range. Open to other suggestions but I’m leaning hard toward the ZP5 now, as it seems to be a notch or two above the others at an amazing price.
Somebody tell me I’m making this harder than it is.
