[QUOTE="Mickp7, post: 2950694, member: 122253"] I have 2- NF NX8 2.5-20 (hunting rifle), 1- NX8 4-32 (hunting rifle), and 1- Atacr 7-35 (ELR gun). If I were primarily hunting midwest woods, I'd go with the NX8 2.5-20 for the low end FOV. Western hunting 4-32. I also have a Trijicon and Leupold VX-6. As someone mentioned earlier, the higher magnification is useful, especially when practicing with the gun at long range. Until you get way, way out there, it negates the need for a spotting scope. The eye box on the NX8 does get more finicky at high magnifications, but that isn't a big deal when you are practicing and you'd be on low magnification when hunting. I've shot elk from 200 to 560 and many ranges in between and the NX8 has been great for all situations I've been in. I also have the MOAR reticles and really like them. It is true that the reticle is rather small at low magnification, but it has never been an issue in the field. Turning on the illumination makes it easier to see, but I haven't needed to in the field yet and have never had to "find" the reticle. NF durability provides me confidence that I don't have with other brands. I am also in the process of building a 7PRC and will either put the NX8 4-32 or Atacr 5-25. Most likely the 4-32. If you are leaning towards the Nightforce, buy it and don't look back. [/QUOTE]
