Any new rifle Scopes from shot show?

[Brush Buster]

Hmm mil-c isn’t exactly my cup of tea for hunting.

Yeah I'm not sure that an FFP reticle designed to be useful at 20x would be very visible at 2.5x...

Looking for a FFP or SFP? Personally find it difficult to find decent FFP hunting weight scopes. Would like lower minimum mag than the AMG. Looked at March but without experience, hear tracking is wanting. 3-24 is a perfect mag range for me if the glass is good, which I hear the March have great glass.

Interested to hear about the new Maven when it is ready.

I have the 3-24 March on my hunting rifle and love it.

I was in the same boat on my previous rifle using the AMG. It was great but I didn't like the 6x. The March is lighter, smaller, and has a better mag range for me.

Only downsides for me...no locking turrets

I owned a March for about two days and didn't like the eyebox and was very nervous about the tracking reports. Wish I would have put it through its paces.

As for low-end magnification, I have jumped shot a few whitetails on 6 power, so I'm not too worried about the low end.

I'm kinda late to this thread but I saw a couple comments on tracking.

I saw some concerns with this when I was looking at mine but doing a little more research I found that March has used a couple different Values for the mil in their scopes in the past.

I don't remember the exact details on the measurements but I want to say it was the earlier scopes use the same value that the military uses for things like artillery which is slightly less precise.

Anyway If you wanted to know exactly a short Google search would pull it up but what I'm getting at is some people did not know this and were attributing it to a scope not tracking when it was actually tracking fine, just with a slightly different measurement than what they thought.

Wait......

The two new NX8 scopes look like they were worth waiting for. The features are very rich and leave little to the imagination. They look great on paper but I am anxious to hear and see how the FOV, clarity and eye box is. Either way, if I can get my hands in one, I may try one to find out for myself. Form, have you had your hands in one and ran them through thier paces yet? If so I'd love to hear what you have to say about them.

Has anyone seen a weight on either scope?

Yes. They weigh the same. 28oz.

 

[Ryan Avery]

Yes. They weigh the same. 28oz.

Damn, I was hoping for lighter. But it seems dependable tracking comes with a weight penalty. But I also want a rifle that knocks down trees and doesn’t kick

If they'll do a a SFP MOA I'll have a 4-16x50 ATACR for sale.

From what I've read I think initially they are only coming out in FFP in MOAR and MIL-C.

 

[Brush Buster]

I believe that they are also offering it in MOAR, mil-xt and tremor3

The more the merrier!

 

[Brush Buster]

Could be mistaken as I’ve been reading lots of rumors and may have gotten mixed up on the tremor3. But I like the sound of it in MOAR with the digillum in ffp! Also supposed to have an eyepiece focus that moves independently from the magnification adjustment.

 

[ChrisAU]

Yeah just saw on Sniper's Hide that MOAR seems to be a reality. I love the idea of FFP, I just don't know how usuable the reticle would be at all hunting with an 8x zoom. That reticle has to be able to be used at 20x/32x as a measuring reticle...I just don't see how it will be visible in anything other than absolute perfect conditions at 2.5x/4x. The standard MOAR is .14 MOA...at max mag. So, that would mean that that reticle will be 12.5% of its original size on minimum magnification on one of these scopes, right? I may be thinking wrong.

 

[Muley Buck]

A fine reticle at low power has never bothered me. My eye naturally wants to center every thing up pretty good. I'm more worried about FOV at close ranges.

Agreed, but I would have really liked to see something closer to 40mm. With the zoom range on these, I would have loved to see 14-15 out of a 40-42mm at 22oz.

Fine reticles don’t bother me either. The MOAR-T was designed to be a thinner option to the MOAR. In Theory, the regular MOAR in these will be 1/4 the size of a SFP MOAR-T at minimum mag.

I’m pretty confident I don’t understand how this works at all btw lol. I just know that FFP reticles in 3x/4x zoom scopes are hard enough to see at low powers, these reticles have to be useable across an 8x zoom range.

For a couple ounces more, Maven RS1 is your huckleberry.

 

[Brado16]

I'm going to guess NF made a typo when stating the weights as one is 1.5" longer with same diameter tube and objective but weights both listed as 28 oz. hoping the 20x is 24-25 oz.
