Nightforce does it right the first time... im not aware of any "2.0 Versions" they have ever produced.
I guess the original mlr in the 3.5-15 F1 was perfection....

I think everyone already making assumptions about a scope they haven't seen should probably just wait until it comes out and see it in person, instead of already complaining about something that doesnt yet exist for anyone other than the handful that were part of the testing process.
Guys,
Latest delivery update - things are going well now with production, but we should still expect another week or two until they ship. As soon as I see a shipping notice, I will post it
Both looked great in person and I am sure no one will be able to complain about it being daylight visible Pretty amazing though how invisible the ATACR seemed - you pulled it up and a reticle just appeared in front of you
Nightforce is claiming day bright, so that may be the biggest difference. With the March low end variables, illumination is a weak point.
Gents. I've spent a good bit of time behind one. The most impressive aspect of this optic is using it at short range. When the rifle is mounted, I felt like I was looking through a red dot. That's incredible to achieve and they've nailed it. Glass clarity is excellent stands out over the old... Its not even close. This is the new standard in 1-8s.
no it does not, i saw a post saying it includes thread protectors to use uncapped and is still rated the same waterproof wise. no zero stop thoughDoes the ATACR version have zerostop turrets under the cap?
Hopefully ATACR's alsoNX8s finally in route to us! Not as many as we hoped for, but will still make quite a few happy campers.
Thanks!

Holy moly the NX8 is Aimpoint bright! Bravo Nightforce...
I was going to get the Nightforce ATACR 1-8x24 F1 but having owned a Swarovski Z6i brt in the past I am going to just get the Swarovski Z8i brt because it is still the best out there. Has perfect glass and at 18.1 ounces hard to beat.
Anyone taking delivery from Eurooptic?
For the guys getting the NX8's in please comment on the brightness of the illumination. I know some have already said it was daylight bright but more eye tests confirm the brightness. Thanks.
What rifle will you put it on ?
@Fenix Mike, could you possibly elaborate on this further? I've looked at NF's site and I guess this is just saying you'd rather have their ZeroStop tech (which I understand it's function) on the ATACR before you purchase, so it's somewhat of a deal breaker? Isn't their current design particularly geared towards duty-use since these are born of the SOCOM contract needs? Also, I saw elsewhere in this thread that there's evidence that this feature you speak of may be coming soon apart from these new offerings?Identical to the NF 4-16x44 ATACR basically.
Mine is coming from EuroOptic, UPS is scheduled to deliver it tomorrow afternoon.

Great review! Keep in mind the NX8 is based off the NXS glass, the ATACR will have the significantly higher quality ED glass. The Razor 1-6 is more of a comparison to the ATACR in my opinion due to size, glass etc, where as the NX8 was more of an answer to those who wanted a do-it-all super light and compact scope that could reach out to 8x as needed, but do wonderful at 1x and mid magnification. Did you order an ATACR as well?Well, I took the optic out for a quick spin today to zero at 100 yards. It was COLD COLD COLD, so I only fired 20 rounds for zero. I had intended to shoot much longer, both on the long range steel field and also doing some stuff in a 50 yard bay, but the temp and winds were not cooperating. So, here's my brief initial impression:
I like it.
The illumination is fantastic. The eye box is fine up until about 7x, then you've got to be perfect or the image clarity goes to shit. The glass is not as good as the Razor Gen II, but I'll take the size and weight savings of the NF over the better glass in the Razor. I didn't really notice the glass until around 5x, then I felt the Razor was better. At 8x the image in the NF really started to degrade. Not enough that it wasn't usable, but I'd rather shoot on 7x and have a better image. At 1x it was a wash, and the illuminated dot centered up just as fast for me when mounting the rifle from low ready regardless of whether I was looking through the Razor or the NF. Turrets are standard NF quality, so no complaints there. The reticle is nice, not too thick at 8x to be unusable on small targets. The center dot seems to be a tad under 2MOA. I plan on going out again tomorrow to bang some steel out to 600 with it, and then do some close up drills later on.
Comparison pics vs. my Razor. Didn't take any reticle photos, I'll try for those tomorrow also.
