Glass Comparison: Leupold VX6-HD/Nightforce NX8

[Wildstreak]

I cant get my hands on a NX8 without buying one online. Does anyone have knowledge with both of these that can share some insight on the glass and how it compares to the VX6-HD? Clarity, Brightness, etc etc?

Thanks.

I’ve had both. I still have the NX8. I will admit that the glass in the VX-6HD is better (to my eyes) than the NX8. I listened too much to the forum and was too anxious about reliability with the Leupold, so I sold it with my Fierce 300 PRC. That was a hell of a setup.

The NX8 is more than adequate and has a great reputation for reliability. The NX8 will feel less like a hunting scope and more like a tactical scope.

I have both. Leupold glass is noticeably better - and everyone I’ve had look thru both immediately notices the leupold being clearer.

Windage dial on my nx8 broke 3rd time I ever adjusted it - although they did fix it free of charge - so I am impressed with their CS.

Leupold glass is for sure better to my eye as well. FWIW, Nightforce's glass is Meh compared to most comparable price wise. I still like my Nightforce scopes, but their glass isn't amazing.

I’ve used both. Glass seems a little better in the VX6, but I believe not enough to matter between the 2.

Leupold for the win for sure

Leupold wins in glass, Nightforce wins in durability, tracking and repeatable return to zero.
