Nightforce NX8 1-8 Scope

[davidjinks]

Not to be obtuse here...strap wrench applied to the diopter ring and not the ocular eye piece correct?

Another question...is this a common occurrence with the 1-8 scope? I’ve not ever experienced this with any other NF scope.

Try a strap wrench. I know what you are talking about.

Strap wrench on the ring yes and maybe a jar type grip pad on the ocular. Short of putting wrenches on them what else can you do...

My first tightened / locked easily.

My second was a little more of a pain but I was able to lock it by hand after some effort.

It also helps if you mark the diopter setting with paint pen - I mark both rings to line up with the 1x marking.

I was under the impression this was a discussion forum where people could ask questions and gain insights from participants, if it is not, perhaps it should just shut down and refer everyone to YouTube.

My specific question remains:

Has anyone here done a comparison specifically between the NX8 and the RAZOR HD GEN III 1-10, or, for that matter a specific comparison between the ATACR and the RAZOR III, etc.

Creeper crotch-zooming.

Creeper crotch-zooming.

Agreed, and those two scopes are not in the same class really. The Vortex 1x10 competes most directly with the ATACR 1x8.

Glad I found this thread. I bought a BCM 14.5 ELW upper with a pinned and welded BCM comp. I already own 2 NF scopes so this should be a no brainer for my first LVPO. Brownells has the NX8 1-8x for $1750 with a no name mount included. A bit leery on the no name mount. The NX8 will stay on this upper and generally be used out to 400 yards. Also looking at the Primary Arms 1-8 platinum and the Trijicon credo. The PA won’t be available until may per the website. Still more research to do but the NF is looking good. Not willing to pay for the ATACR.

The advantage of the NF is the weight/size. Pairing that with an ELW upper seems like a good fit. I've been thinking of the same thing, but keep debating between the NX8 and the Razor ii-e

I just switched from a Razor 1-6 II-E to an NX8. The reason I am happy with the switch, and intend to keep the NX8, is the size and weight. This particular rifle is a 14.5 BCM ELW, so the rifle is pretty compact and lightweight.

The Razor is more generous in the eye box, but it is noticeably bulkier on this particular rifle.
