Jim P's Review of NightForce NX8 1-8x24mm Capped LPVO Rifle Scope, 30mm Tube, First Focal Plane (FFP)

This is a fantastic scope for an AR-type rifle intended for the possibility of both CQB and pushing out past 100 yards. Only complaint is that the first one I got had a reticle that was broken into dozens of pieces and of course didn't work at all, but the vendor replaced it with a new one and was shocked it had left the factory that way. I believe I paid a couple hundred more for this than OP is selling it for now.

This scope is rugged, it's easy to use, and the glass is extremely clear. I compared this directly to a Gen2 Vortex Razor HD 1-6 (the Gen3's weren't out yet) and was immediately sold on this. I haven't used the Gen3 Vortex scopes yet so I can't make a comparison there, and someone looking for an LPVO scope should consider that as alternative to this because many people do prefer the Vortex. I find 8x to be plenty of magnification for an LPVO but the Gen3 Vortex goes up to 10x. That difference in magnification probably won't matter unless you're trying to push beyond 400 yards.

The eyebox is more than adequate at 1x and gets tighter as you increase magnification, which always seems to be the case with scopes. The red dot also remains visible as you begin to move out of the eyebox. Overall target acquistion up close is still very quick. I would say that if someone is having issues with this scope, that's probably something that can be overcome with more training. My theory is that people complaining about the eyebox are used to red dot sights and expecting to get something similar out of an LPVO, but that just isn't realistic. Those people might be happier with a red dot and tandem magnifier or an ELCAN.

This isn't as fast or versatile for CQB as red dots, but the performance at range is overwhelmingly superior. Unless your rifle is set up strictly for home defense intended for use at close range only, it's hard to beat an LPVO setup.

  • easy to use
  • Solidly built
  • sharp clear optics
Cons:
  • price
