Greetings.
For whatever reason, I have not paid much attention to Nightforce products.
But I have recently had the opportunity to examine a Nightforce NX8 2.5-20x50 for several weeks. My overall impression is favorable. I like the feel and build quality, the illumination works easily for me (some do not like a button design, but I am fine with it), and I found out I do like the option of having green or red--and they are easy to toggle between. The turret clicks are audible enough, and the clicks are tactile in a way that is very controllable for me. They do not 'snap' like they do in my Ares ETR 3-18, but they fit me, in so far as my experience informs. And the parallax focuses down to 11 yards, a big deal for my context. And in hand only, viewing out to 100 yards is quite decent. (I am no expert!)
I am playing around with the idea of owning either this model, the 4-32x50, or the 4-20x50 ATACR.
Here's my question: Have any of you had experience with both the NX8 and the ATACR? Put another way, is the money worth spending for the ATACR over against the NX8? If it is, why?
If you have substantive comments on only one of these models, feel free to inform, but I am more after the advice of those who know both the NX8 and the ATACR.
Thank you in advance. S7
