Q&A on NF NX6 scope reviews

[justin davis]

The reticles are borderline unusable for many common applications. They’re only an ounce lighter than comparable NX8s and an inch longer.

Nx8’s it is then for me

They’re good. The only thing that I don’t care for, is that you can’t set the zero stop anywhere but at 0.

Their video shows you have one more setting below zero, but it was quite a bit below zero. Does your prototype not allow that?

Hadn’t even looked. Yes it does. Little sucker of a screw, but worked. Thank you.

I’ve been holding off buying a 2nd RS1.2 waiting to see what NF came up with. What’s the general consensus on the 3-18NX6 vs the RS1.2?

I like the NX6 offerings over the NX8 offerings for hunting.

NF makes the most durable scopes on the market, but they need better hunting reticles, which they can easily do.

the new turret design looks really neat. I'll give them that.

Clever design, yes -- and I love the knurling pattern.

The #4 reticle on the f2 models looks nice for hunting

Agreed

Thinking I might have to pick up a 2-12x42 for my tikka in a 30-06. I’ve been wanting to replace the leupold I have on it. Kinda pricy, but hopefully worth the upgrade mainly for reliability. Takes too much effort to get a shot on an elk to be cheap on a scope

Yeah, though for that money at the moment you can get an S&B Polar with s similar reticle, similar reliability, and much better glass.
