--- Quote from: jrebel on December 06, 2022, 10:25:26 AM ---I bought one last year to try based on reviews of other members. I went with the 44mm objective lens and z plex reticle. I was putting in on a youth rifle and wanted small, lightweight, and a simple reticle. It is not a rifle I will be shooting to 1000 yards so figured.....KISS rule applied.
As for the turrets....I have only owned it for about 8 months and put maybe 100 yards down range. It appears to track very well out to 500 yards and then back to 100. The eye relief is very nice and comparable to any leupold I have ever shot. The price is right for a mid range scope. The turret clicks are positive and easy to dial......not quite as positive as other higher end scopes I have shot, but still very nice.
All in all....would I buy it again?? Yes
Would I recommend it to a friend?? Yes
Will I switch all my scopes to this model....No, but for the application I'm using it for, it is pretty awesome.

Thanks for the insight. I'm looking for a sub 30 oz, tough, reliable, forgiving scope to go on a 7mm rem mag project I have in the works. I'd like to keep the bottom end magnification no higher then 4-5x and would take as much magnification on the high end as I can get without blowing over my weight cap.

If these are you requirements and your putting it on a 7mm mag.....I would look very hard at he NF NX8 2-20x50 that weighs in at 28oz. You won't find a tougher, more reliable scope than the NF (in my opinion). I run the 4-32x50 and I believe it comes in at 29oz....which would also be a great option.
Just a thought.

I read the eye box can be a little rough on the NX8 how do you feel about yours?

No issues whatsoever. I would take the nc8 over the zeiss any day of the week of money was not a factor.

I had the 6-24 and loved it the first year i used it. Then found out the hard way when I lost zero and no idea how when I missed the biggest buck of my life at 150 yds 4 times. I had the zero stop set and i had to loosen that to get zero again :bash: I ripped that scope off and went nightforce and never looked back.
