Scope Recommendation

[greg vess]

I wonder if they do vehicle trade ins for one.

YEAH RIGHT! That scope is 1000 dollars more than I paid for my 2004 GMC Sierra, four-wheel drive with the camper shell, with 42,000 miles on it. I believe I'd have to buy another GMC 4 wheel drive before I buy an $8,000 scope. I would have to do a 1500 to 2000 dollar Night Force and call it good.

Or maybe you could just pawn the title?

What would be really funny: An Amazon review where someone says the scope performs well and matches the capabilities of his Remington 783 perfectly.

Nightforce NX8 F1 4-32x50mm

That’s number 1. Talking with him this is the way he’s leaning in order.

1. NF NX8 (2.5x20 model though)
2. EOTech 5-25
3. GENII Razor
4. Bushnell XRSIII or DMRIII
5. PA platinum
6. Athlon Cronus

The 2.5-20x is barely smaller/lighter/less expensive than the 4-32x. I’ve owned both, had them side by side, and I won’t own a 2.5-20x anymore, except for maybe on a hunting rifle where I want the “small” bottom end.

Hows glass quality with the larger mag range?

Same scope line, same glass.

I’ve run the NX8 4-32x50mm’s out past 1400yds so far. I’ve had no issues with glass quality.

I can dial my 4-32x down to 20x, but you can’t dial the 2.5-20x up to 32x. It’s nice to have the available power on tap, even if you don’t always use it.

Good point…my XRSII goes up to 30x and I already like that more than the 21x on my DMRII.

So I’ll talk to him about the 4x32. I have the mil discount so I can probably get it for $1850 I think.

2k budget, the Gen 2 razor is tits. If weight is a concern, I'd go the NX8 line. You give up glass quality, elevation adjustment and features such as locking turrets and rev indicators, but it's a lot lighter. If he wants short, and I don't see why with that rifle setup, I'd go EOTech Vudu 5-25.

I’ve got the NX8 4-32 FFP Mil X and I can say that it is outstanding in every situation that I’ve had it in,
