NF NXS 3.5-15 vs NX8 2.5-20

[2-Stix]

Other than capped windage on the NX8 any other opinions on the comparing these? I have been leaning NXS...I dont need more zoom. 500-600 yard shots max with a Tikka 7RM for hunting only.

I have been pounding the forms this last week...my other posts have been about the NXS 2.5-10 for my 308 only based on clearance issues for mounting...FYI.

I have the NXS 3.5-15 and the NX8 4-32. So not the 2.5-20. I like them both. I’d say get whatever one is a better deal. Both are awesome scopes.

I replied on one of the other threads saying that the 2.5-10 is my favorite (I have 2). I also had clearance issues. I solved it by mounting them on cut down rails to give the objective bell more clearance. Here's on of them (also a .308 Win). Works great for me. I did have to build the comb up a little to get my eye in alignment.

I really hope to stay away from a cheek riser...but if I do (probably will) what one is that?

Here's a thread I did about that stock.

I like a high comb. You may not need/want as much height as I do.

of those two, NXS. It’s more user friendly. I like the bigger NX8 too, but only in FFP.
