    Helix 2-16x50 vs. Other Helixes

    That is good to hear. Enjoy the scope, and I may join you down the road a bit. Thanks again, Bd. S7

    Helix 2-16x50 vs. Other Helixes

    Thanks, Blueduck. This certainly helps. I would still like a comparison between the 2-16 and the 4-16, which is on my Crown. I used it the other day in a little mist/lower light (it only has a 44 mm objective and not a 50 mm one) and was a wee disappointed in the crispness of image. I had little...

    Helix 2-16x50 vs. Other Helixes

    I briefly scanned the Vector line after your post. This is one brand I knew nothing about. I would still like someone to respond to my original concern. Thanks. S7

    Helix 2-16x50 vs. Other Helixes

    Greetings. I play around with the idea of buying the Helix 2-16x50. It is on sale on DVOR right now. I presently have the Helix 4-16x44 on my Crown, and would not mind a bit more magnification range on both ends. So here are my questions. Can anyone say the glass on the 2-16 is better than the...

    Nightforce scopes NX8 or ATACR

    Copy. That is an unbeatable price new.

    Nightforce scopes NX8 or ATACR

    Helpful, Smok3y. I have heard similar comments about the 7-35x ATACR. And virtually no one has anything much bad to say about the Razor Gen 3, especially for the price. $2,000 is a good price for it if in top or near-top condition. S7

    Nightforce scopes NX8 or ATACR

    Thanks. I would (personally) like more illumination points on the CF2 and more space around the dot; otherwise, I like the reticle's layout. I also slightly prefer the less-cluttered center dot on the Mil-C. Yes, the Mil-XT is nice if you want the tree. I go back and forth too. S7

    Nightforce scopes NX8 or ATACR

    Vetmx, That last statement about repurchasing is a helpful way to frame things, as others have acknowledged. From here, one scope I would get again was the NF NX8 2.5-20. Others were good to very nice, but I may not want to purchase them again for various reasons (reticle, good but not very good...

    NX-8 Scope Height

    Thanks a bunch. That does it. Yes, for me, because I have to mount the scope rather high on the Crown because of the magazine, so far objective has not factored in--it is well above my barrel. Even mounting a 50 mm objective (the Ares ETR) did not matter. On another note, perhaps I can lower...

    NX-8 Scope Height

    Thanks for the effort and time. I was looking for the total height of the scope from base to the top of the turret. I am not sure how I would be able to get the rest of the data from what you gave? Is it due to an assumption of tube diameter and base similarity? Also, I copy on the...

    Nightforce scopes NX8 or ATACR

    Greetings, All. I do not believe anyone mentioned what reticle they were referring to? I am pretty familiar with NF reticles (and was looking at them this afternoon on my own), so I am curious. Thanks. S7

    NX-8 Scope Height

    Greetings. Can anyone please give me the (exact) height of an NX8 2-15 and 4-32 to the top of the turret? If you own just one, I will take the data. I have an FX Crown MKII Continuum with a factory case; the 380 mm barrel is affixed, and the 700 mm barrel is at the top of the foam bed in the...

    Nightforce NX8 1-8x24--Good Price

    Right. If I were in the market for an LPVO, the price would be hard to resist. S7

    Nightforce NX8 1-8x24--Good Price

    Greetings. I bumped into a NF NX8 1-8x24 on Ebay. The price, seller, and item look good from here. From what I have seen, NF NX8s do not go on great sales for the most part, so I want to let people know just in case someone is interested. If no one is, no harm is done. Thanks. S7...

    Element Nexus Gen 1 vs. Gen 2: Thoughts?

    I am thinking about it, but am not sure. I can handle the dirty reticle but would rather the clean one. And, as I said, I would have preferred mil. By the way, I was going to tell Toothie about the same thing you are telling me! S7
