I just realized the NSX is a car manufactured by Acura. That will be a bad choice for hunting.

As others have said, the "fine" reticle is great for precision, but I prefer the heavier one if I am hunting - the fine reticle is often difficult to pick up.

in my opinion for a lot of years the nxs was the best hunting scope you could buy. nowadays there are a lot of reliable options but i'd still use an nxs every chance i get. great tracking and return to zero. illuminated reticle. a lot of reticle options. high speed turrets. zero stop. plenty of internal elevation adjustment. what more would you want. granted the older nxs scopes didn't have some of these features but at that time neither did any other scopes.

I've never not been able to see the 3.5-15's reticle....and if it ever happened, the illumination would eliminate the problem.
Yes, it's kinda heavy, but I wouldn't put it on a truly lightweight rifle. Its currently on a Rem 700 AAC-SD, and I wouldn't hesitate to take it on a hunt.

I've got 3 NSX models. Two 5.5-22 X 50's and one 3.5-15 X 50. Glass is as good as it gets for my old eyes. Been hunting with them for many, many years and never had a problem at dawn or dusk. Now I think a lighted reticle is standard, just pull the parallax knob out and there ya go. I killed a hog under a full moon not to long ago using the lighted reticle. Tracking has always been spot on. Kinda like a timex watch, takes a lickin and keeps on tickin. Not to mention their customer service is top notch.
Agreed, called about a small part I needed yesterday.
They wouldn't allow me to pay anything toward it. Not even postage.

Maybe a duplicate post, but I have two, absolutely love them. I hunt almost exclusively with my 28 Nosler with a NXS on top of it, great glass, I've shot deer from 100 to 700 yards with it, absolutely no problems.

Nsx is the OG. Fantastic scopes. I smashed the obj bell down on one of mine on a rock. Bent the bell back out of view with my leatherman and kept using it. Tough as they get and great glass.
