Thats the consensus for sure. I hear nothing but good things about their tracking ability

If you want a scope that holds zero, tracks up/down back to zero and does so repeatedly with confidence it's pretty hard to beat Nightforce optics.  Mine are a mix of NXS, NX8, and ATACR, mostly NXS models, and they've all been excellent.

There's often a lot of talk about how the optics of the NX8 and ATACR are so much better then the NXS scopes.  Are they better, yes, but are they substantially better to where you look through one then the other and say ohh yeah this is a lot better, no.  I've sat mine all side by side and gone back and forth looking through them and do I see a difference, I think so, but the difference isn't nearly what people make it out to be.  Point being, there are a lot of used like new NF NXS 5.5-22's out there that you can get for quite a bit less then what a new NX8 or ATACR cost.  If you want to go new that's fine nothing wrong with it but you can save yourself around a grand buying a good clean NXS 5.5-22x50 or 56.  If you do look for a used NF NXS just make sure it's a model with "zero stop".  The high speed turret isn't that big a deal either way for me but for me it's gotta have the zero stop.  :twocents:

Right now I am torn between 2 pretty different scopes

Leica Amplus 3-18x44 with the l-4A retical. Tracks perfect, amazing glass and great reticle

Night Force NXS 3.5-15x50 MOAR. Tracks perfect, good glass and ok reticle

I can get a new Leica and used Night Force for the same price. Both are damn nice scopes. The Leica is more my style and what Im used to with my VX5's but the Leica has better turrets and better glass than the VX5 and maybe a better reticle. Most of the advice Im getting here and from friends leans to the NXS

Either way Im sure I will be very happy

Thanks for all the info guys
