Would you buy this scope?

[Marbles]

I still like the Maven a lot. I end up keeping it between 4x and 6x. But I also love simplicity.

I have one of these. https://kestrelglassingsystems.com/product/scope-magnification-dial-throw-levers/

Just put the lever at about 9 to 10 o'clock and don't worry about it.

Still not as simple as a fixed x though.

Realistic depiction of a guy dialing an moa scope in the field, "thats 1233.8975 clicks sir"

Who counts clicks? And if they do is 900 instead of 1200 going to be the difference of a kill shot or not? And who in the field is dialing 300+ moa? Are we shooting elk at 800 yards with subsonic 22lr?

A subsonic 458 would only be 261 MOA elevation at 1400 yards at sea level.

But, a subsonic 22 LR needs more than 300 MOA of elevation at 780 yards at sea level, so pretty good call.

Its called a joke sir. Moa is not as good as mils in my opinion. There is a reason almost no one in PRS uses MOA.

But if you use mils you have to use kg and g, and Nm for torque, else it doesn't work.

Also a joke, but not all jokes are helpful. Coming from someone who will not by an MOA scope.

Yes, aware that wasn’t a useful information statement via meme. Yes, MILs are easier to communicate with a spotter in that setting, as it’s the more common system in use. Most of my scopes are in MILs, but not all. Doesn’t matter which I pick up, my brain couldn’t care less. But I don’t have anyone but me calling my shots, so there’s that.

Yeah, I had a rough idea from a lot of time spent playing with trying to lob 22lr stupid distances. Interestingly, that’s a great place for a SFP scope. Dialing back to half power gives you twice as much elevation in the reticle when you run out of dial.

Pushing boundaries- No.

Things that should have been done from the start- Yes.

What should separate it from the Tenmile-

- as reliable or more
- shorter
- lighter
- low profile 10 mil elevation turret, capped windage
- larger eyebox
- better glass
- better FOV
- better reticle
- better low light illumination
- $600 to $

The reticle is the linchpin to this project!

I’m going to need a bunch of these

 

[nrspence]

Glad to hear it is going to be 18x. Any possibility it will be around at shot show?

Very high.

This and the new NF scope have me excited.

All I’ve been told by a NF employee is they are not making the NXS 2.5-10x42 anymore and look for something new at shot show. There is a big thread I started on the subject over on snipershide.

NX6

NX6

They’ve held the copyright on that name (and NXHUNT) for ~ 6 years
What’s different about 2026 that could bring it to fruition? Not saying I don’t like the idea but they’re market seems to be pretty strong

It’s actually happening for one

 

[prm]

I’d be interested in a new NF scope. The ones I’ve owned were nice but not quite right for me. Still haven’t found that ‘one’ scope..

 

[denverangler725]

Im fairly happy with my NXS 2.5-10 x 42 but if it had...

-a little more magnification
-a better reticle
-similar weight or even lighter

 

[Formidilosus]

Not the S2H scopes-
