Idk but a vx6 with the 34 vs the 30 appears to be brighter & clearer. Maybe it’s an illusion or maybe it a bit better light transmission through the bigger tube & objective?Huh? How?

Lots of guys will buy the sfp 32x For designated western Long-Range rigs
I tend to agree with that statement. The extra space in the tube going from 30 to 34 mm allows you to do a few different things. Most companies use the extra space to accommodate more travel. A good example is looking at a z5 to a z6. The put a bigger tube inside which will bring in more light. For the x5i the use the extra room for travel so the glass is very similar.Huh? How?

I’ve read that the nx8 uses The ED glass that the ATACR uses, but the compact design vs the ATACR makes it so it isn’t utilized as well. Perhaps the 34mm tube affects it as well but not sure about that. I should be getting my NX8 fairly soon and will compare it to my nxs. I have no doubts it will be better.
Any updates on this? I’m looking at making this my first nightforce scope. The dual sub tensions seem like a great idea for a scope with so much magnification.Got my nx8 4-32 sfp scope last week. Took it to the range and I’m really liking it. Glass is noticeably better than my NXS if that is important to you, and the new reticle is perfect in my opinion. I’ll do some more comparisons when I spend more time with it but first impression is very good.

Good to hear. I broke down and ordered one a couple days ago. The more I thought about the dual sub tensions the more I wanted it.Still loving this scope. The dual sub tensions are nice, especially since 32x won’t always be usable in the field. 16x will allow for some pretty long shots still and having sub tensions for it allows for quick adjustments. Great design IMO. I haven’t fount much not to like with this scope. I’ll definitely be buying another.
I've messed around with a couple of the 2.5-20 F1's and they had tight eyeboxes, finicky parallax/shallow DoF, and fisheyed on the outer edges.
