I don't have ATACR money usually. Would love to hear a side by side comparison, but that's great to know! I need to get out this weekend and actually shoot with my 3-18. Glassing neighborhood trees only goes so far.
Please post some pix through the reticle at 1x with illum set to max for us. Also, personal impressions. I am interested in this 1-6, but there is a very small amount of data/info on them.
Might be Sunday or Monday but I’ll try to remember too. I may go zero both optics on Monday.
I’ll see if its sunny tomorrow or Tuesday, hopefully I can get out and zero it.
Don't worry they will make a few runs in Greely ,advertise usa made , then when they think everyone believes theybare a usa made scope move production overseas.
Looks good! Also, why did you put the throw lever there vs the band/groove at the occular end of the power ring? Is the band on the lever flat and fit poor, or convex and fit in that groove nice?I’ll see if its sunny tomorrow or Tuesday, hopefully I can get out and zero it.
Mount is a Primary Arms PLx mount with their RMR top cap + Primary Machine .150” adaptor plate. The top of the adjustable turret actually aligns pretty perfectly with the bottom of the Acro’s window.View attachment 8105874
I honestly kindof doubt it. Also, the Steiner employee I spoke with truly seemed passionate about the product. Not like he was trying to be a good CS rep, but like he geeked out on this stuff and legit loved the technical aspects.
It isn't like there's any instructions. Took me a minute to figure out what they intended also. And yes, I took the time to align the little scallops with the ring on all mine alsoI just saw my error, it fits like its supposed to now just behind in the grove, thanks!
That price is why im opting for one. Was considering an XTR 3 or a Tract Toric, but this seems like a no brainer
They only have so much production capacity in greeley. The xtr pro is the improved xtr3. They could have simply called it the xtr 4 and xtr 5 and viola, new product. Instead they were honest. Building xtr pro in Greely, moving 3 to Philippines, adding illumination, eliminating xtr 2. It's semantics. If you want the American made scope, get the xtr pro.

It's bigger than that , they basically pulled a bait and switch with the xtr3 and I did buy one when they were made here and I will not buy anymore and I'm also not going to pay what they want for the pro. I'll buy another brand , good job defending a company moving production of a once American made product overseas though .
NX8 is 28 oz. T6Xi is 35 oz.
Not sure I'm following your thought process here.... Burris wants to make their flagship scope in the US. The Pro becomes the new flagship product and the XTR3 gets bumped to overseas production. Are you upset you paid more for a US scope and now its hard to justify the price difference?
Two very different scope designs but I would also say that the T6Xi is going to have a 56mm objective whereas the NF NX8 is 50mm, I have no personal experience with the 4-32 as it doesn't have much appeal to me, but I have heard it tends to get dark at the higher magnifications, the T6Xi will likely do better if you plan to use the scope above say 25x. That being said, unless you're doing load dev (LD), rimfire or PID needs you likely will not be using that higher mag anyway. I find the turrets on the NX8 2.5-20 mushy and have read the 4-32 isn't much better, the T6Xi turrets may have better feedback and feel. If none of the above matters and you like both reticles equally then sounds like you'd be happy either way.
