On my rifle 20 MOA is about 800 yards. Are you saying the vx6 will be off by 20 inches to the left or right? That seems like a non-starter for anybody actually trying to shoot that far.
For you guys that own the NF NX-8, how much time do you spend messing with the parallax adjustment to get the parallax out? It doesn’t have yardage printed on the turret like the Leupolds do. Is it fairly obvious that the target is in focus or do you still have to move your head around to make sure the reticle isn't moving around?

correct.

Over on rokslide there is a member who is doing very in depth testing of scopes. Its definitely worth jumping over there and doing a deep dive. Lota of scopes still to come. He isn't biased and he doesn't pull punches.

That link takes you to a main page. I recommend reading the green link about how the tests are conducted and then below that link are the seperate scope evals.

I've been following this thread. Very eye opening. I have a feeling it's going to get pretty expensive for me...

one of my all time favorite scopes ever is my old mark 4. Ive owned a lot of good leupolds over the years. With that said, I can't wait for Form to start drop testing the vx line and breaking the internet. Leupold needs a good metaphorical slapping across the back of the head.

Unfortunately, I think there's a few companies that could benefit from the same.

you're not wrong! Especially for the prices they charge. I don't mind paying a mortgage payment for a scope but the son of a gun better function.
