Also looking for help deciding on a scope
« on: Yesterday at 01:33:46 PM »
I have traditionally bought Vortex, because of cost/FFP warranty.  But haven't had the best of luck with my Strike eagle 5x25 being great, so I was looking to upgrade.

I was trying to decide between the Leupold vx6HD 4-24x52. or the Nightforce NX8 - 4-32x50mm. the cost is about the same between the two.

What does everyone think?  or do you have either of them?

Thanks for the help!

Nightforce all the way. I have the 4-32. I love it. I’d buy nightforce first every time, Trijicon second.

Nightforce if weight isnt a factor VX6 if it is. I own both but I run leupold on my light weight rifles just to keep the weight down.
Shut up and Hunt!

Yep NF NX8 hands down! Have had Leupolds , Zeiss, Vortex and NF . NF NX8 and NXS are on all of my rifles now - would never trust a vortex on a hunting rifle
