Convince me I am wrong

[Rock’N Tacos]

I don’t think there is a better back country western hunting scope than the ATACR 4-16x42. I know she is a little chunky at 30oz, but most of the alternatives from Maven and Trijicon are 24-27oz. Mine sits on a 5.5lb rifle, so the whole package is still light enough to haul into hell and back and give me the confidence I need that it is going to hold zero and track reliably no matter what shit I put it through.

Full disclosure I have turned into a NF snob and all my rifles wear one now. I started out with trijicons when I started reading the drop tests and have slowly been upgrading when funds allow and now have a solid mix of NXSs, NX8s and ATACRs.

I went the other way, sold NX8 and bought Trijicon Tenmile hx. I have zero interest in a Maven.

The 4-16 F1 Mil-R ATACR is currently
My favorite hunting scope.

I would consider the Trijicon Tenmile more if they would get rid of the tree reticle.

I have owned about 6 tenmile HXs. I also have zero interest in Maven. I think the ATACR eyebox, glass etc is amazing - much better than the NX8.

It’s an amazing optic. I like the locking elevation turret more than I thought I would.

First year with my ATACR and I'm spoiled. Will be hard to shoot anything else.

I've killed 46 mule deer bucks since 1971. None with a NF, Trijicon, or SWFA.

For a ~30 oz scope you could almost get the minox zp5 and have one of the best hunting reticles ever devised. Seems solid on drop testing. Kinda pricey.

There’s also the Schmidt and bender polar 4-16 (or 3-12) that is lighter at 23-28 oz and would be even better in low light situations. Also good on drop testing. A little more pricey.

But I’m sure the Nightforce is good enough. If you can’t afford the other two, just say so. (I jest, I run SWFA 3-9’s and one 5-20 because I am a poor)

Meh. Its a good enough scope if you cant get closer to your critters.

Cool?

I was thinking of going with that very ATACR for a 6 ARC Tikka, but ended up coming across a crazy deal on a new NX8 ($1590 from Optics Planet - and yes it was delivered haha).

I have a Tenmile Hx - honestly, it’s an ok optic, but I haven’t been as impressed as I thought I’d be based off feedback on this forum.
