Nightforce NX6 Lineup

[SDHNTR]

Anyone mention the tight eye box of the NX8 and any promise of improving with the 6?

The only one that’s bad is the 2.5-20 NX8 and that’s simply a manner of a big erector range crammed into a small tube. With less zoom, the NX6 should be marginally better but I would not expect a huge improvement because 6x is still a lot (too much imo) and the tube is still small.

I like my NX8, and hadnt really noticed it until I had a buddy who was not familiar with higher mag scopes really take note. So tempted by the NX6, but there's got to be a way to shave a few more oz for hunting applications.

The S2H scope is 1oz less than a 3-18 NX6.

Anyone comparing the Maven RS6 to the NF NX6 series or is that not direct enough?

 

[SkunkCabbage]

I think we are all waiting for them at this point

Currently debating between the nx6 3-18, nx8 2.5-20, and the razor 4-24. Anyone gotten eyes on all three and have opinions? It’s gonna be another month until I can get my face behind the nx6. Generally getting your hands on some of some of these models is a chore so far.

what did you go with?

what did you go with?

I ended up with the RG3 4-24. The dealbreaker for me on the 2.5-20 was how unusable the 2.5-6x range was for the reticle, and I looked through both the tremor and mil-xt variants. The razor is small at 4x but not unusable and the illumination is bright enough to enhance it for that use. The nx6 was too slow for me. I did all this research months ago and was told we wouldn't see nx6s for me to actually look through until late April.

How’s the 3-18 looking now that its in people’s hands?
