I have both and they are but both good but I prefer the NF turrets, I don't like the Leupold fast focus eyepiece, and NF come with illum which Leupold up-charges for. The NX8 4-32mm weighs the same (like 1oz different maybe), is an inch longer, and is the better of the two. I've had one on a small frame AR and it's a good fit.
