NX8 or Leupold Mark 5

[Matt9122]

I have an NX8 4-32 FFP with the MOAR Reticle for my 300 win mag. Love the scope. I'm thinking of getting another in 2.5-20 for my 6.5 Creedmoor. The glass is great, construction is phenomenal. I love the reticle, throw lever, illumination and the ZeroStop feature. So far I have only shot it out to 500 yards at around 12-16 power. Not sure I really needed up to 32 power. I would be curious to compare it against the 2.5-20.

I have both the 4-32 and the 2.5-20. The 2.5-20 offers no advantages over the 4-32 other than the short length if you like the compact size. For some reason my 2.5 Weighs more than my 4-32 by .2 oz. Even though the 4-32 is larger
The fov difference between 2
5 & 4 is negligible.

So I discovered the optics test on here and the Trijicon Tenmile. I found a 3-18X50 MRAD SFP that I can get for half the price of the NX8. From what I have read the Tenmile sounds dependable. Is the NX8 reallly worth twice as much?

I think you will be pleased with the tenmile. It might not be quite as good as the NX8 but it is no slouch. I love mine.

Nx8 would be my choice but, I’m a little biased I have 3.

Great thread! With my vision being on the weak side lol I believe the 2nd focal plane will be best for me.

NX8. I just bumped up from a 4-14 SHV to the 2.5-20 NX8 and especially with an adjustable cheekpiece, its perfect. I am just a sucker for the illumination being able to go green. I like it better than bright red

I have the 2.5-20 and 4-32 NX8. Love them both!

I have owned both and no longer have an NX8 and have three Mark 5s. I have been super happy and impressed with my Mark 5s.
