Rifle Scopes Which has the best eyebox? NF Beast, GenII Razor , Bender , or NF F1

[Kubitza123]

Fixing to buy one of these choices unless someone knows of another brand that has a lot better eyebox than these listed.

Long story but I need a scope with great eyebox thats easy to get behind.

I had a Beast years back and best I can remember it had a great eyebox.

Anyone who owns or used these scopes please chime in with what you think was the better eyebox.

Had a Gen 2 razor and a S&B, the gen 2 razor was better between those 2 to me. I've never used a hensolt but most people say those have the best eyebox ever.


Covert is as Covert does.

Plenty of good feedback on the scout site.

 

[Kubitza123]

Thanks, I would assume F1 Atarc is same as Beast ?

 

[Covertnoob5]

To be honest I couldn't say. The only ATACR I ever owned was the 4-16x42 F1. And that one wasn't as good as the razor. I've used plenty of high end scopes and the razor has the best eye box I've ever used outside of the Tangent Theta 3-15 I had.

Spend ten minutes setting any scope up properly and "eye box" should not be a problem. "Eye box" is a marketing term invented by Leupold in the 90s.

That is uninformed nonsense. While "eye box" is not a technical term, it certainly is a good way to describe the combination of eye relief and exit pupil size that determines how easy it is to get behind a scope. Proper setup will help minimize the issue, but a larger eye box makes things easier, especially in hunting or competition scenarios.

Covertnoob5, correct on the Hennie, found nothing that even compares, do like the old Premiers, found the Gen 2 Razor pretty darn good.

Exactly.

Always heard the Kahles were good, but no first hand experience.

 

[epracmetcon]

Eyebox was more forgiving on my razor over my beast.

 

[Kubitza123]

Well guys I went with the F1 NF over the Beast. I figured the eye box should be pretty much the same for quite abit less cash.

 

[ICU22250]

Great choice, I love my ATACR F1 4-16...

I have experience and it's better than the Nightforce scope I have and the Vortex scopes I've handled. Too little time with S&B scope to have an opinion.

The Gen II razor has better eyebox than my F1 Atacr but the Atacr's eyebox is good. I've not got behind the Beast but was very tempted for what one sold for in the px thread. I doubt that any of the current crop of scopes are better than the Gen II Razors but they're all good.

The Kahles has one of the most forgiving eyeboxes around. The Schmidt is very good too (at least the 5-25 pmII). The Vortex is great as well. I have found the NF ATACR in both the 5-25 and 4-16 to be a little lacking in eyebox compared to the others. But it's not horrible.

That would be comical if it were true considering I find the eye box on my 3-18 mk6 to be one the fussiest eyeboxes I own. I never even gave a thought to my Mk8, BEAST, or Gen II Razor, the Mk6 was the first time I had to really work at getting settled behind the scope. It's kind of like pizza, where unless it's really good or bad I don't give it much thought.

The Kahles K624i at 24x is a VERY easy scope to get behind, moreso than the NF BEAST and S&B.

And as with everything consumer, now you understand why Leupold coined the term in their marketing.

 

[ICU22250]

I have the 4-16 ATACR and the gen2 Razor, I don't think my NF is fussy at all, to me it's as good as my Razor.. I have a Kahles skmr3 on its way and I'll be able to compare all 3 this summer when it ever stops raining... Looking forward to it
