NX-8 2.5-20 vs Mk5 3.6-18/5-25

Mine has the short turrets, not like the originals. My problems were holding zero and tracking. Not really mushy turrets.

10-4, I had the tall M5B2 pinch turrets.

Multiple Mark 6 3-18s, a couple VX3s, and Mark 4s.

ETA: the Mark 6 3-18 would be THE perfect feature set and weight if it has been reliable. I still own two of them, but my trust is low. One has been back to Leupold four times. The last time they were quite hateful and gave me the worst customer service I’ve ever had in a $3,000 scope.

Own zero Leupolds right now. I've had three defective ones. They fixed the Mark 4, but grudgingly and added a shiny new dent to it while getting fixed. Two different VX-Rs had reticles so laughably misshapen they went straight back to the retailer. I've had decent Leupolds as well, but like you have no confidence in their product overall.

I don't love Nightforce, mostly because the clarity and optical performance often seem "meh" for the price, but their quality control and ruggedness are outstanding. You pay for it, and you get it.
