My opinion, the NX8 is an awesome optical feat right now. To get everything NF has done in a compact package and overall footprint, they nailed it. Is the glass perfect? No. Is it 100%, COMPLETELY flat? No. What it is is an amazing 1-8 FFP, great glass, insanely daylight bright scope in a 1-4 sized, 17oz package. To hit the market with all that at the NX8 price point, some compromise had to be made.
Want perfection? The ATACR 1-8 is about perfect. Sure there are PERSONAL things folks might change, like the speed of diopter adjustment, and whether the eyepiece moves when you adjust power, but those are personal likes and dislikes. The glass is insanely good. It’s clear, flat, handles color well, and the reticle is fantastic. It’s literally a 4-16 ATACR shrunk down. Downside is... bigger, and it’s $2500. For WHAT it does and who it is, it’s amazing. I feel like it has no equal. Believe me, I didn’t WANT to like it. I didn’t WANT it to be so good. I didn’t WANT to spend 4K in scopes in a couple months. When Sonny, the LE rep for NF sent it to me, I could hear him chuckling. He knew it was a game changer. He was right. It’s amazing. Alas..... nothing that good is cheap.
