    NX8 mounting height

    I’ve been becoming a fan of higher mounts for optics.

    I don’t have experience with an NX8 but want to try one. I can buy it with a 1.57 Mount or 1.93. I know 1.57 would work but want to maybe try the 1.93 but worried about a tall mount with an optic that has a tight and unforgiving eye box.

    Anyone have experience with the NX8 and a taller mount?

    You can split the difference and go 1.70

    I could. Really love the scalarworks mounts though and try to stick with them.

    I run mine in a 1.93. No issues. Just practice with it and it will be fine.

    ETA: If you decide you don't like it, you can sell for not much less than you bought it for. There's a good market for high quality LPVO high mounts.

    I run mine in a Geissele 2.04” mount. Fantastic set up.

    I put mine in an TEOTW mount, 19.75" high. It's great to hip fire and still have the optic in front of my face!

    I had one in both a 1.5 and a 1.93 (only because of laser). I like tbe 1.5 the best for the NX8.
    In no way do I make any money from anyone related to the firearms industry.
