I HAD one and never had an issue with it for hunting. I think your salesman is attempting to sell you something to get it out of his inventory that has been there too long….IMO.

Tell him he is right, they suck and since they suck, you will take one off his hands for real cheap. You also have friends that will help him liquidate them cheaply because they suck.
Sounds like he's a dumb @$$ . I've got a few nightforce shv that are not quite as good as the nsx and a atacr which is much better and all are on hunting rigs . I wouldn't have any issues with a nsx for low light hunting. You definitely should look in the classified section as they do come up from time to time .

He's probably talking about the reticle...
NF offers a bunch of reticle choices, but most are fairly 'thin' compared to lowlight hunting scopes which typically feature a thick reticle (think classic Zeiss).
Illumination is definitely a factor.

I liked it….., but that dead elk in my avatar didn't.
I've run them for years and never had an issue tipping critters over that had anything to do with the scope.

I have several of the nxs on hunting rigs and feel real lucky to have them. Pretty darn good glass, extremely dependable. Might be like someone already suggested the reticle might not meet low light conditions. The only thing I would hold against them is the weight for a light weight build. But if the reticle is something you like I would highly consider purchasing the scope. Good luck

I had one for a few years. Liked the scope just not how much weight and the 5.5-22x56. I prefer a lower magnification on the low end and something lighter and a zero stop. I ended up with a 3-18x50. I away seem to get a deer running with in 75 yards and in and miss.
I decided a lower power would help at a deer hauling ***. I would do your own homework before listening to that salesman.

Have 5 of the nxs model,all on hunting rigs. Illuminated reticle is useful @ low light. Excellent scope, I keep buying them, lol
