    I have a BCM 14.5 ELW with a pinned a FOSSA I am seriously considering topping with a NX8 for the sole purpose of the tiny footprint and low weight.
    Gettin' down innagrass.
    Let's Go Brandon!

    Just received my NX8 in a Scalarworks 1.93" mount. Very nice package under 23 total ounces. It's going on a Triarc 12.5" with an OSS Ti can...good balance, lightweight, manageable overall length...

    Looking forward to the NF NX8 1-8x arriving from Brownells shortly. Need a decent mount for it, thinking about Larue as I have a few of them but also looking at Scalarworks as well.

    A question for all.......
    Once you have the diopter set, do any of you see a blurry image on the sides around but it’s clear in the middle? Am I doing something wrong?

    I had something similar to what you’re describing. Wasn’t full on blurry but there was a noticeable difference between the edges and center of the lens.

    I corrected it by completely resetting the diopter. For me, I screwed it all the way in and then backed it out IIRC, 2 turns. From there I started adjusting the diopter until it was set for my eyes.

    I like pretty much anything Larue. I’ve used their mounts for a few years and have never had an issue. Only recently did I go with the Nightforce Unimounts. I don’t plan on removing the optics and moving them around to other rifles so I didn’t need the QD.

    I prefer the NF mounts when I don’t need QD and the Larue mounts when I need QD.

    Ok, sounds like I still need to play around with it a bit.

    I have the Brownells mount that was free and am using that until the Larue shows up. Just after I ordered the Larue (showing in stock) I got notification that it was back ordered.

    Excellent company to deal with. I have one of their demo mounts and it came in a factory sealed package.

    I may have to switch, maybe I can cancel my order with Larue.
