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.

Mine is just the MOAR reticle, no christmas tree and pretty dang simple. I put two shots into an alaskan caribou this year at 375 yards. Zoomed into 32x and put it in both lungs. He jumped, I zoomed out, found him, zoomed back in and put another one in him even though I didnt need to. I didnt have a spotter. I am just saying there is more than one way to do something. I am pretty meticulous when it comes to getting steady and taking shots. I’ll pass if I don’t feel great about it or get myself in a different situation to where I am steady.

Your results were obviously good, and dead is dead. From a shooting perspective, you probably could have gotten 3-4 shots or maybe more in him in the same time frame had you zoomed in barely enough to see the reticle for the shot you needed to make. There would have been no zooming in and out, only running the bolt and shooting. From a shooting perspective, those would have been better results. More hits in the same amount of time or the same number of hits in a few seconds less.

Obviously, you are a pretty damn good shooter, but I and many others have played with both high and low mag and found what I am laying out above vs what you had to do to get off two shots. The results are demonstrable on a target and targets are much easier as they don’t move between shots.

Again, dead is dead, so this is more of a 1% type argument, but reality is reality and better is better.
