Looking to upgrade

[Clem Bronkoski]

After posting my thread earlier regarding scopes if been looking around. If my B-14 HMR 300WM works put around yhe 500 yd mark with the current Athlon scope I may upgrade to a different optic. I'm looking at the Nightforce NX8 3-24 or March 2.5-25 w/tactical turret.
This will probably be the last scope on this rifle so you long rangers please respond.

SFP or FFP?

 

[Hand Skills]

Prob SFP, the March FFP equivalent is 3-24x

Check out the Trijicon Tenmile 3-18x44 too @Clem Bronkoski

Prob SFP. I have a couple FFP scopes and reticles,are awfully fine at lower magnification

 

[Clem Bronkoski]

Between the NX8 4-32×50 and March F 2.5-25×52, I think glass is a wash.

Clarity-tie
Color-March
Brightness-NF (above 20x)
FOV-March
Eye box-NF
Low mag-March
High mag-NF
Weight-March
Length-March
Turrets-March
Reticle-NF
Price-NF
Scope caps (supplied)-NF
Zero set-March (tooless)
Durability-???

Not all reticles are the same. You can also get illuminated reticles to help alleviate the issue.

So, not the 3-24 that you originally posted.

Correct - a 3-24 doesn't exist. He messed the numbers up.

The NX8 line is pretty solid. No experience with the March, but I have (2) 2.5-20x NX8 and a 4-32x. Great scopes.
