Thanks for the input guys. Having owned and used just about all the alphas except ZCO, I have settled on NF because they have been so excellent for me over the years and I really like the MIL-cI don’t know how people manage this. I had to zoom in the camera really far; the marks are much more crisp. If I can get one without the zoom it will show better. I am going to run home and grab my DSLR and try with that. This is 4x with cell phone View attachment 7106876
DSLR battery is dead so I tried more with my cell phone.

Yes correctSo just to confirm, these two pics are at 4x and 32x?
I was going to take a VX6 out for a tracking test and decided what the hell and brought along the NX8 4-32. The NF tracked dead nuts to 32 MOA , no issues what so ever ..... the VX6 not so much !
It picked up a 1/4 right and up at 10 MOA and tripled that by 25 MOACan’t leave us hanging like that! How bad was the VX6?
Yes correct
Yes on caps. No on sunshade if you mean like an extended screw on shadeDoes it come with caps/ sunshade?
I'm a big fan so far. Great semi auto or general purpose or lighter weight hunting scope
Disregard the rest. Waiting for a mlok picatinny rail for bipod

I don't have a ton of time with the nx8What are your thoughts regarding the NX8 vs ATACR 4-16? I know you have a bunch of time with both.
I'm heading out this Saturday with a buddy who has a ZCO 4-20, I have a Kahles K318i, if someone could get me a 2.5-20 by Friday I'd be more than happy to do a comparisonDoes anyone with a high end scope (PMII, ATACR, Theta, ZCO, etc) have a side by side comparison they could do with the NX8? Curious about gall quality, turret feel, parallax pickiness, and eyebox in particular.
I believe they are coming with Tenebraex caps, Tenebraex also sells ARD's so I would think that should work.Are there any options for a thread-in sunshade or ARD? Is the ocular threaded for one even?
Since you are running this on a 457 you should also take into consideration the parallax adjustment. The NF starts at 11 yards, not sure where the gen II is. Warranty is a mood point as the NF is lifetime, and you most likely will never need to use it. You are getting 32X instead of 27X, more is better, at least in my book and it is all usable. I hear people saying that the ATACR 35X units power is not usable, however I was just running mine at full power in 93 degree weather shooting steel at 1 mile. Full disclosure I have multiple NF and used to run Razors.Going on a 457 and vudoo that I shoot out to 400 but I also use some hold overs so I am looking for ffp. Just thought the extra 5x power would help on the top end of 400 yards.
Currently running a gen I razor 5-20 but ready to replace it.
Have you adjusted the illumination ? You can have red or green and a wide range of power levelsThe glass is pretty superb, don't expect to see illumination unless it's low-light / dark. The edges kind of get blurry after 14x but that might just be my eyes, which probably doesn't help with the tighter eyebox in the high end of the mag range. The reticle is visible at the low end (2.5) pretty descent.
These are just my initial thoughts, take it with a grain of salt, as this is my first NF.
Yes I went back and forth through the colors and adjusted to Max brightness in the house then checked it outside and it was not visible at all.Have you adjusted the illumination ? You can have red or green and a wide range of power levels

The ATACR has a nicer eye box, maybe slightly better glass and I like the zero hold elevation turret. Clicks and parallax are equal IMO
The NX8 2.5-20 has a smaller foot print and the low end power helps with the short range quick shots
Between those two, for me it's purpose would come down to weight and reticle between those two.I’m really torn between getting the 4-32 or the gen II razor.
MilXT is hard to beat (EBR-7c is very nice too) but MilC also is an awesome design if you don't want the quick wind marks.Between those two, for me it's purpose would come down to weight and reticle between those two.
Did I miss something, I haven't seen anywhere say that the Mil-XT will be available in the NX8 line, only the Mil-C and MOAR?MilXT is hard to beat (EBR-7c is very nice too) but MilC also is an awesome design if you don't want the quick wind marks.
i have a razor gen 2 on my PRS rig and plan on getting a 4-32 MilXT for a hunting/backup/lighter PRS gun
different purposes
MilXT has been a fall release from the beginningDid I miss something, I haven't seen anywhere say that the Mil-XT will be available in the NX8 line, only the Mil-C and MOAR?
Also, why has NF not updated their website, I can't find the NX8 long range scopes anywhere on their website??? Strange they are shipping scopes they are not even advertising yet...

Okay, I had to go through the thread again because Mil-XT was certainly not part of the original announcement, it finally shows up on page 6 post #270 by phlegm where he saysMilXT has been a fall release from the beginning
Per NF at the NRA show, Mil-XT and T3 will be available in the Fall.
it was on the original press releases from that magazine that weren't supposed to be leaked and has been confirmed by @gr8fuldoug and other vendorsOkay, I had to go through the thread again because Mil-XT was certainly not part of the original announcement, it finally shows up on page 6 post #270 by phlegm where he says
But that seems to be the only information we've had so far, sure would be nice if NF would get the scopes on their website and put up some more specs on them.
Are there any options for a thread-in sunshade or ARD? Is the ocular threaded for one even?
That sounds like it is the case; however, "specs they released", I've never seen an announcement from NF on these scopes, where are you finding these specs?Nightforce told me late fall and it was always on the specs they released.
...The one thing I have noticed is that the depth perception on the scope isn’t as strong as the ATACR’s.
I THINK this is due to how short the scope is...
I would call Mile High (or your other preferred retailer) and ask them.So my next question is if I order one of the 2.5-20s today what would be the estimated lead time?
I called a vendor from the hide on Monday for the 4-32 Mil version and it is being delivered today....So my next question is if I order one of the 2.5-20 MOARs today what would be the estimated lead time?
That's perfect, thanks for the info! Can't wait for the MIL-XT's to hit the market.They take the same fit as a NXS and SHV 50mm
