Curious to know if anyone is running the new NX8 1-8x w/ a Geissele Super Precision Mount, and if so which one is best suited for the NX8 considering there are quite a few options out there.

I would say any of their 1.54 standard mounts. I currently have mine in a 1.93 mount and will be swapping back to a standard 1.54. The small eye box and smaller fov are really negated when you have a good cheekweld. For me, it didn't work as well for heads up shooting as my atacr did. I'm still going to keep it, just moving it to another gun I plan on shooting prone more often.

I've decided to go with the 1-8x ATACR and Spuhr QDP-4016 option. Both have been ordered. Thanks for the feedback.

Let's take another look. The NX8 is a great scope. But, it is a scope, like many other scopes, vis a vis the eybox and FOV. The ATACR 1-8x is in another league and price point. It is true point and shoot, like an Aimpoint T-2. So is the Steiner 1-6x, and so is the S&B 1-8x when it is released this Fall. These three scopes are true 1x with two eyes wide open, large occular, and you will think you are using at T-2. Then, you get to magnify to 6x or 8x.
You should think about what you are trying to achieve, and the Vortex is not even in the running of the scopes you mentioned. Do you want and need and can afford the red-dot type two eye open combat situation shooting, then the S&B, ATACR or Steiner is where you go. Do you want a great true 1x with 6-8x magnification with cheek weld? Then, you need to cant that sucker forward quite a bit and the NX8 or the Trijicon Accupower 1-8x, Minox 1-6x, Steiner M5Xi 1-5x and even the Burris XTR-II are all candidates.
One guys opinion.
Can't go wrong there. Awesome scope and a great seat belt to keep it snug. How long do you have to wait on the NF ? I just ordered some for my shop, and it will be a ~while~ before I see them. NX8 is selling well too. I compared both at SHOTSHOW, but have not gotten the ATACR in yet. Could be that the Steiner comes in first. The whole "true 1x" in 1-5x, 1-6x and 1-8x (especially) has really heated-up. Also the very, very long range. I am seeing more people shooting absurdly large bullets out 1 to 2 miles, and the NF 7-35x is picking up steam.
