Going on a Christensen Arms 300 RUM and the rifle is used for hunting only. I have the NXS 5.5-22X56 MOAR SFP on my Rem 700 300 WHBY Mag but like the idea of going to FFP due to not having to adjust the magnification for range finding use or bullet drop. I can see up to 800 yds but my limit is 500 yds or so.
I need the extra magnification due to old eyes and trying to somewhat score a deer plus I really like to look. I can find demo models of the NX8 for around $1875. Any other scopes that I should look at that have the same features? Maybe save a little cash and get the same results? I need reliable reticle tracking, clear glass, illuminated MOA reticle, FFP and power up to at least 22X---let's set the max around the price of the NX8 - $1900.
