Agreed. My main bitch about the original was that the 1 mil holdover typically used for 300 yd on a 5.56 was a cluttered FOV. This new design opens up the whole workspace at 1mil ... I also love the additional holds above centerline . Good shit right there.
Problem tho is the reticle is worthless then between 1 and 8x... with 24mm objective i’ll Pass on that. At least with the one I had the nx8 was best at about 6-6.5x for taking longer shots in terms of eyebox and view but the reticle wasn’t very good at that mag setting.
Agree. This needs to be in the NX8 at the current price point
IMO fantastic size, weight. With the right reticle I can live with the tight eyebox.
I thought the same thing. I'm willing to give up a small amount of brightness for a better all-around package. But it still needs to be daylight bright to passWhen I saw this my first thought was dang--good improvement. I want that in my ATACR.
But on second thought when you remove all that "mass" from the donut is the 1x red dot performance going to suffer? (aka be less bright?)
It'll be interesting to see.
FC-DM for reference
It does work well. I've got a S&B dual. Really like it, but damn its big. My hope is that the industry continues to expand on smaller, lighter weight dual options.
Thanks for taking the time to do this. Personal request can you please try and make another go at the 1X with illumination. Really can't see anything in that shot
How’s this?
have you looked through the new reticle ? i have placed an order through a dealer in here in the UK , i thinking of asking them to get nightforce to put the old reticle in mine (if they will even do it and doesnt cost $300+)
