NightForce NX8 2.5-20x50mm Rifle Scope, 30mm Tube, Second Focal Plane
I took my NX8 hunting last week and was amazed at the clarity of this scope. I have a Leupold VX-6 on my other rifle and this NX8 blows it away! Another good feature for this scope is it's pretty lightweight for the class of optics this falls in. The zoom range on this is what made it worth the extra money. I can use it for hunting and for long-range shooting.

I've tried numerous scopes from Burris XTR, Leupold Mark 5, Leupold Mark 4HD, Tract Toric, Steiner T6Xi, Steiner h6Xi, but this scope feels much more refined than all of those. The turrets feel amazing when dialing. The reticle is easy to read. The parallax adjusts down to very close distances making it nice for close range shots. The glass clarity is amazing and holds up well in low light. The scope caps that are included are amazing. Really hard to beat an NX8

Ordered this scope online with no problems. Shipping was very fast! Got it mounted but haven't had a chance to shot with it though. It is everything I expected! Can't wait to get it dialed in and out in the field.

I was looking for a scope to put on my 6.5 AR-10. I chose this scope for the smaller profile and large zoom range. I got the MOAR 2F digital reticle and love it. The glass is super clear, the eye relief setup is pretty slick, the height and windage adjustments all work flawlessly, the only thing I don’t love is that the distance relief doesn’t have any range indicators on the dial. The illumination works great as well. I used the NF ultramount and looks and fits great.
Would recommend: Yes

This is the second NX8 I’ve purchased which I will be mounting to a Savage .308 for a friend. I have one on my Rem 700 in .308 which is a big improvement over the Millet scope that was on it. The clarity is amazing!
Pros:
Power throw lever
Cons:
Reticle lines are thin
Best Used for:
long range shooting
Would recommend: Yes

A lot of people talk about the budget scopes having “Nightforce quality” glass. I only own two Nightforce scopes. I own several of the lesser scopes. The others may work well for your needs, as many of mine do. However, I never confuse them for Nightforce!
Pros:
Incredible scope
Cons:
Expensive
Best Used for:
It does everything well!
Would recommend: Yes
