I have a proof elevation rifle with a nxs 2.5-10x42, I just ordered a manners pro hunter stock, has anyone used this scope on a longer range hunting rifle with a vertical grip? Afraid it’s a little bit too small of a scope for this setup

Out to 800 yds on steel and 500-600 on game, deer specificallyWhat's your definition of longer range?
If you can see and identify the target then you have enough magnification. If you are counting points at 600 yards then it may or may not be enough magnification.Out to 800 yds on steel and 500-600 on game, deer specifically
What do you like about it more than the NF?The Trijicon Credo 2-10 is a better scope and more cost effective.
Zero stop
Mil/mil turret to reticle
Capped windage
Christmas tree reticle
Price (significant savings)
Effortless zoom once used a bit
Very good glass (Nightforce glass is gtg too)
Oh, and FFP too.
Yes, a few hundred bucks cheaper price for a better scope.
And for the hunting ranges the OP is talking about, FFP is better.

Any pictures? I’m thinking about the atacr now, maybe the 4-16x42I’m running that same rifle, I threw a 4-16 x50 atacr F2 on it, I absolutely love it… personal preference on the focal plane, for a hunting rifle I like second for close in fast shots. I can’t use an illuminated reticle where I’m at so trying to pick up the crosshairs on 4x in a first focal plane in low light is a bitch.
Rifle is right at 9 lbs

Weight isn’t a huge worry, of course I don’t want to be carrying around a stupidly heavy hunting rifle but if the scope is that much better for a longer range hunting scope then it’s worth some additional weight imo, I’m 20 lol if I can’t carry a 10 lb rifle I’m doing something wrong@Joko111 if weight is a concern at all the 2.5-10 is 20oz vs. the ATACR is 30oz plus
ATACR is incredible as well. The 34mm tube is great, eye box and eye relief are solid. And more reticle options
That’s a good looking rifle… pretty much the same thing I’m going for other than 18” suppressed and the pro hunter stockThat pic I just added above, the rifle weighs 11.8 as pictured. Titanium action, CF barrel, Manners LRH stock, NF ATACR 4-16x42
What camo pattern did you go with? And I hope so, looks like a great stock, I could go without the lettering on the stock but it’s not a big dealyes, I have a Pro Hunter sitting here. Waiting on barreled action. You'll like it !!
I went with the gap camo, I was looking at the Tommy bahama, looks good, I’m doubting my decision with gap as well lolThat looks badass. I just ordered a PH and went back and forth between that and Tommy Bahama, I hope I don't regret my decision of the Tommy Bahama. What barreled action is going in it?

I had a couple EH1's in GAP camo, it's a nice pattern in the elite shell. I'm a sucker for green and grey though which is why I leaned towards Tommy Bahama this time. I'm looking forward to getting the PH and comparing it to my HNT26

These are the ones they had in stock the other day, wish the gap paint job was a little less splattery looking like the other 2… still nice
Yeah I asked them, just were not installed in those pictures, but yes they do come with the stock, origin with a proof sendaro, Hawkins hunter dbmThat's a good looking stock. Do they not come with the picatinny forend rail? I was under the assumption they did, I didn't specify when I ordered mine. What BA are you putting in it?

That nx8 is a badass scope,have not used the 2.5-20 but that 4-32 is solidOK, I wasn't sure but that's good to know. That would be a sweet setup with a 2.5-10. I'm going to use the PH with my 737R to build a light target/varmint rifle with a 4-32 NX8 or 5-25 MK5.
I've compared them side by side and no it's not a better scope. It's got the advantage of the tree reticle but that's it. The parallax on the NXS is a huge plus, the Credo had a considerable amount of parallax error beyond 400 yards. The NF also has way nicer glass, turrets and illumination and it weighs less. The Credo is a great optic at the sub $1K but it has its compromises and the tree reticle doesn't make up for all of them. The NXS cost me about $450 more after discount and is definitely worth the cost difference.
If there was a hard budget of $1000 or less then the Credo is a good buy.
strange, when i was smacking an ipsc at 900 with my 18" SPR, i didnt notice any parallax issues.

Like a 100% IPSC?
Bro, do you even shoot

I’ve hit 12” steel plates at 900 yards easily with a scope on 5x. It was a brightly painted white target in the clear so the magnification was adequate.
