This was a very well presented video -- I've got the NX8 and want to get an Atacr or possibly a Kahles or S&B or March for another rifle, and it's nice to see more info on the practical differences of the Atacr.
What rifle do you have your NX8 mounted too? I finally today got a chance to look through one first hand. I absolutely love that reticle! I have a Scar 17 I want to mount it on.
With the NX8 being available for around 1500ish I think it also present an extremely good value as well since the ATACR is still like 2x that for the slight improvements you get.
I haven’t had any true eye box issues with my NX8 either… I’m pretty sure most people who claim issues are either being unreasonably picky or parroting complaints because they don’t understand the purpose or both
I’ve seen a lot of people talking about how the plxc eyebox is so much more forgiving…. Ya I have both and the nx8 smokes it…. To me the nx8 is better all around
You mentioned options in called and uncapped turrets. I haven’t seen that option on any sites when I look at them. Do the turret caps come with the optic and is it your own choice to use them?
I love my nx8 it has the fc reticle but I absolutely love it…. Bought a plxc as well and I hear a lot about it and I like it but nx8 is better….. I’m gonna sell my plxc to go towards atacr
They are different. Nightforce uses slightly different shades of FDE anodizing between their ATACR and NX8 lines. This carries on beyond just the 1-8 scopes. Just another way that they use to differentiate the two lines.
8x is plenty, and when you’re talking magnification and distance the most important factor is clarity. A 10 or 12x scope with lower quality glass can make it very hard to see a target that you can see clearly with a 6-8x scope with high quality glass.
