[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 307142, member: 4885"] John, I appreciate your perspective. I have both Leupy's and NF's. Couple of items that you missed. When comparing the NXS in 3.5x15x50 vs the M4 4.5x14x50. 1) The weight difference is only 8oz's not a pound. 2) The M4 has a LOT fewer reticle options than the NF 3) NF only available with illuminated reticle 4) NF has a little longer mounting area 5) NF has 3/10" longer eye relief 6) M4 objective doesn't spin like the NF. M4 comes with flip up caps. Butler creek style doesn't work well with NF's. 7) NF has a little larger magnification range. 8) NF has 110moa adjustment range, M4 has 100moa adjustment range (only 70moa with illuminated reticle option). Of course the VXiii is a bit lighter than the Mark 4, but comparing the VXiii to the NXS isn't really fair, as the M4 is more in the same market as the NXS and is a fairer comparison. For me, it came down to the NF having the NP-R1 reticle available for my requirements. AJ [/QUOTE]
