Thoughts on the nxs 2.5-10?

[Joshuajosh]

What do you guys think of this scope ? Narrowed my search down to this and the lrhs2 4.5-18 or 3-12 .....

I have owned a few NF scopes, & the
2.5-10 nxs is a great option for a 20 oz.
scope. Tough, little scope. If 10x is
Enough on the top end for you, it’s perfect.
if you need more X, I’d go NX8.

It sure is .... how is the clarity and illumination? Could you compare the clairity to a vx5 at all? That is what I have

I’ve owned both but did not compare side by side. Both were optically good but not great. Where the difference lies would be mechanically & functionally I’d prefer the NF.

Started with a Leupold VX6 2-12x with a Boone amd Crockett reticle, but it was a big scope. Switched to the NF Nx8 1-8x due to size. Loved it. I thought I needed more acope so I went to the NF 2.5-10x.....I liked it, all the features of the NX8, but bigger. Sold it and went back to the NX8.

What made you sell it l

I have always trusted NF scopes for hard use. I currently have 2 NXS 2.5 x10. One is on a custom 7mm08 bolt gun and the other is on a MK12/SPR. Great scopes!

Yup I continue to hear about them being very solid scopes .... how is the optical quality and clairity ? I’ve heard some complain about parallax sensitivity

It was more scope than I needed.

What were you using it for ?

I would say that it is good, comparable to Leupold as far as clarity. The NF is much tougher and has very repeatable turrets. There are scopes with better glass for sure but I put my trust in the NF.

I currently own 4 NF scopes and every one has been solid.

Yup I’m not trying to chase glass clarity .... just want a solid all around scope for out to 500 yards or so

I use it on a 6.5 Grendel in an AR platform for hunting. I have made hits out to 725yds with it, but realistically will probably keep shots to 400yds or less.
I am just getting into dialing a scope and so far its been fairly easy and consistent with this scope.

For magnification and clarity concerns I took this rifle scope combo (NXS 3.5x15x50) out to 1500 yards at Thunder Ranch High Angle Course. I was hanging with the Schmidt & Bender guys but looking through their scopes the clarity really showed compared to mine.

 

[justinspicher]

Thats a good looking rifle.

Thanks, it was built by Chad Dixon of LRI. It’s a shooter!

I was doing the same search tonight. I have two VX5HD leupolds and I am not sure it is worth changing to the 2.5-10 compact.

You've got analysis paralysis. How many threads are you going to start to ask for scope advice?

I had the vx5 and the reticle was canted .... I also have heard of the tracking issues .... I’m going with the nightforce I think

what is your issue ? I’m here asking questions and seeking advice .... do you have a problem with that?

I’m not sure either but from what I have heard the nxs is better for all around use ..... and I’ve heard of tracking issues .... take that with a grain of salt tho u have not had issues with tracking with my vx5 (did have a canted reticle from the start )
