Would you buy this scope?

absolutely

With 12x on the top end? In FFP? The bottom 3/4 of the mag range the reticle would be invisible.

I don't think people realize they're asking for things that would make this really really bad.

Well the maven reticle is workable 2.5-15x i'd think the same could be done with a 2-12? Id much rather stick with 4x erector and have a 3-12 than 6x for 2-12 as I see little upside in going from 3 to 2 on the bottom end vs my perception of the additional challenges/compromises of 6x vs 4x erector.

Perhaps one day your eyes will tell you otherwise. It happens…

Have you found the NXS compact parallax adjustment to make a significant difference? In the one I had, i couldn't even tell it was doing anything when I adjusted it. Generally liked it but didn't like it enough more than 2+ SWFA 3-9s and going from moa to mil back when I had more rifles to scope.

I wonder if the shape of the objective will be more like a Maven RS1.2 and SHV 4-14 or kind of compact like a NX8 2.5-20.

I am hoping for the more traditional stretched out version and not the squished compact.

Partly for aesthetic reasons and I also want more space for the front ring.
