Nx8 1-8 vs Vudu 1-10 ?

[FUNCTIONAL]

Looking to throw a lpvo on my MWS and pretty sure I have it narrowed down to these 2.

Sr5 reticle on the Vudu and the DMX on the nx8.

Anyone used both of these and have a comparison? Both are same price point and you can get the vudu for significantly less right now. Glass, illumination, actual useable magnification max?

Do they both suck enough it might be worth saving a bit more and getting a used atacr 1-8?

PLXc1-8
Even with the slightly inferior reticle, its a superior optic altogether.
Forget about the NX8.

What about it makes it superior

IMO the vudu 1-10 sucks. The reticle is too fine to quickly pick up at 1x, so it fails the basic purpose of running an LPVO. The illumination is also not daylight bright. Finally, the eyebox is pretty tight at 10x (probably true of any 1-10).

Running up drills and transition drills with my 2.5-10 glx vs my buddies vudu, I had the same time and better hits with my glx at 2.5x vs the vudu at 1x. The glx is also far far superior for precision work, and they weigh nearly the same.

I have been trying the NX8 1-8 w/DMX. Not nearly as much time behind it as the G3 1-10 but it’s a solid scope.

My Son I Law likes EOTechs on his work guns. The big round reticle works for him so I pointed him toward the EoTech. At the end of the day, none of these have a reticle worth a shit at 1-4x.

IMO, we are splitting hairs with most of these LPVOs. They’re all so fucking close if it wasn’t for the reticle and price, a guy would be hard pressed to tell the difference while drilling or competing.

Vortex 1-10

Or nxs 2.5-10 and dot

I own multiples of both plus a few.
Of the ones mentioned above: NX8 if weight and size matter on your MWS. Eotech SR5 if weight/size doesn’t matter as much.
Keep in mind there are slight variations in glass scope to scope within same model.
Differences:
NX8 has a much smaller window with much thicker scope edge when looking through the scope. It does have a very bright dot. Which is great for 1x shooting.
Glass is a little brighter on the Eotech very similar to the Vortex.
Eotech doesn’t have daylight bright reticle but reticle is usable at 1x without illumination.
Vortex reticle unusable for anything until about 4x without illumination. Illumination is very good though.
