[QUOTE="PapaSmurff, post: 2586579, member: 118512"] I am a big game outfitter in Northwest Colorado and in west Texas. I have several Nightforce NX-8’s and am actually at my Colorado ranch as I write this. Have been up here testing rifles and optics the past 2 weeks at the exact same spots we elk hunt at. I was testing various calibers and optics for long range and 2 of the rifles I brought with me have Nightforce NX-8 4-32 MOAR reticles on them. I also tested Nightforce ATACR’s and Leupold Mark 5’s, as well as the Swarovski X-5. The X-5 has the best low light image, BUT the NX-8 seems to track just as well as even the ATACR in our testing the last 2 weeks. On my lightweight rifles I will run the NX-8 from now on. They are tough, and will track correctly every single time. It’s NX-8 all the way for me from now on if your putting it on a lightweight rifle build; the 2 I just tested were both on 300 PRC’s tested at various ranges all the way to 1,330 yards under field shooting conditions at actual hunting spots.
