Rifle scope choices??
Sakko300wsm:
Yep NX8! Have a few NXS , just got my first NX8 delivered yesterday and it’s sweet. Putting it on the 6.5 PRC today
b23:
My top three choices would be #1 Nightforce, #2 Nightforce, and #3 Nightforce. :tup:
I'm far from there yet but some day I'd like to have one on every CF rifle I have. They may not be the lightest weight choice but their tracking and ability to hold zero is second to none.
jjhunter:
I got to 100% NF. I like the NX8….but still prefer the NXS with the MOAR reticle. I wish you could get it in the 4-32x in F2….it that was the case, it would be the only scope I owned.
The standard, “old school” heavy reticle MOAR.
pickardjw:
Regarding the custom turrets, I wouldn't want to pigeon hole my rifle scope into a ballistic solution for specific environmental variables. I'd put that money towards a rangefinder with a ballistic solver like the Sig BDX.
The rifle scope drop testing over on rokslide opened my eyes to reliable zero retention within a rifle system. I have a Zeiss v4 in TO84 rings and plan to do some moderate abuse testing of my own before hunting season this year. If it passes I'll stick with it. Otherwise I'll be selling it for a Nightforce or other scope proven to reliably maintain zero through moderate abuse. The amount of $1k+ scopes out there that shift zero from simply riding in a truck is pretty astounding.

Those guys are doing everbody a favor with that testing. They've already got scope mfg's reaching out to them to test products before release now, hopefully some other big names will be forced to step up their reliability as a result
