Q&A on NF NX6 scope reviews

[Marbles]

You don’t wear goggles and aim through scopes. Even if you could, the focus distance on NVG’s is very narrow- if they are focused so you can can see past a couple of feet, you can’t see your hand in front of your face.





Nah man- clip on night vision. The night vision goes in front of the scope- you look through the scope to see. The only thing you can do is aim with what is in the scope.

Thanks.

Clearly I'm dumber than I thought; face meet palm.

So now what? NF gives you these scopes pre-release to test out. You do your initial tests, post your conclusions, and now we have this discussion regarding sub standard reticles from a majority of the RS perspective. Do you guys go back to NF with this info? Do you try to convince them of a better reticle, or at least, more reticle options that already exist with NF?

I have a zp5 with an mr4 from prs type match shooting. The reticle sucks at 5x, but I shot a deer at last weekend at last light, no illumination on 5x. The reticle was not brain pleasing, but it got the job done. My kids want illumination on all thin prs reticles for hunting. Is it just my eyes, or is it people's brains screaming for something easier to see?

I'm not saying there is no need for a thicker reticle. When the shoot2hunt scope gets released, I'm planning to buy 3.

I'll try the modified THLR when S2H releases their scope. For now, I think I'm going back to SFP for hunting. I believe, for me at least, it will be preferable for 95% of my hunting scenarios. I hunted with the SHV F1 for the last three years. It's been fine. But I moved it to my target/hybrid rifle, and I will look elsewhere for my dedicated hunting scopes.
