@LMT/556

I agree. But I guess it depends on what your primary uses for the optic. But I myself like.1 mil adjustments. As far as the throw lever, it does come with one, but I personally, if I keep it, won’t be using it. The power adjustment Dial, is very smooth and easy to operate by hand.

Zero stop is really overrated, especially with capped turrets. Give me a way to align with zero on the knob once sighted in and I'm good.

ETA: I like capped turrets personally but see why others don't. Does it have a zero stop feature?.....I'm a NF guy so I'm pretty unfamiliar with Vortex features.

NF had a capped version of the NX8 but mil only which I thought was odd. I'm not a fan of the hard lens covers that came with either ATACR and took them off. For the 4x16 I'm using a rubber bikini style, I don't have anything for the 1x8 yet. The glass on it is pretty exposed.

Gotta disagree, but we all like different things. Z-stops do make more sense with uncapped turrets though.

It does feel robust and does seem quite capable. However, as soon I got my MK8 out, it became very apparent, that the Leupold was in a higher class.

Eye box is quite good at 10x. For those that lean towards 1x application, they will be very pleased.

No Zero stop feature.

Looking forward to your thoughts once you get some range time with it. I'm jelly

Lol. Agreed. It’s been purposed. I have to get another inbound. I pre-order the optic with a ship date of mid-April. I was woefully unprepared for the early shipment. Hopefully the Scalarworks takes away from the burnt bronze ugliness of this thing. Why Vortex or anyone else thinks this color is attractive is beyond me.

I figured they'd offer it in black, along with that color. In your case it needs to be OD green
