Hunting Scope choose

[Excavator]

I love my MOAR reticle too. The ATACR is more compact and lighter than the NSX. It also has better glass. If I had 2k+ to spend on a scope that's what I would have went with. I had half that and went with the SHV.

How would the ATACR compare with a VX5 hd or VX6 hd, in low light?

Haven't looked through them all side by side so I couldn't tell you.

Just looked through a z8i. Think I may of found my new scope! Wow, 2.3-18x56 just over 20 ounces.

Also don't overlook the March scopes. They make some amazing glass and don't weigh anything.

The wind has been let out of my sail. Z8i has mill elevation compensation with a moa reticle! Why would someone design such a system??? Will not work for me. That being said, probably the nicest glass I have looked through. What a let down. Back to the drawling board.

I've been incredibly happy with my VX-6's in 3-18x50 and 4-24x52.

I also came across a VX-7 that I run on one of my .260's that is great glass and with the 56mm obj the low light performance is excellent which is important since I shoot a lot of hogs and coyotes in low light or at night. Even with just a flashlight I'm good to 250 yards or more with it.

The z8i is fantastic in low light. It beat the Swarovski z5 5-25X52, Leupold VX-6 4-24X52, and the Bushnell 6500 4 1/2-30X50 in low light by twenty minutes! Those scopes are very nice but are in a lower league. They cost $1,500 less as far as the VX-6 and z5 go. The the Bushnell is $2,300 less.

Why would they build such a fine scope with elevation in mills and a moa reticle?

Stupidity

A lot of military scopes are built that way. Never made sense to me.

So I am down to the atacr or vx6.

I would recommend that you find somewhere you can look through both of them side by side. Optics are going to look different to different people.

 

[Excavator]

What is crazy, I went to the only three places I know of in Orlando, that I thought would carry high end scopes. Could not put my hands on a atacr or vx6i.

This should help
