Hi Peter! Which models are you getting in this week?
Debating between a NX8 2.5-20 and a NXS 3.5-15.
If the less magnification and small extra weight and lenght is not an issue, are there other downfall on the NXS?
Does the NXS have the same glass quality or is the NX8 ED glass a new feature that makes a difference?

I am very interested in the : C623 NX8 2.5-20X50 F1 - Mil-C $2594
Being first focal plane, would you say the 2.5 zoom range is actually usable?
As a reference I have a vortex razor gen 2 4.5-27,
I use it for competition no big deal, but in a hunting scenario, the 4.5 reticle is barely usable.
With the NX8, would you take on a target comfortably at 50-80 yds using the 2.5x zoom
Edit : At that price point I see NF having a hard time to get 3.5-15x NXS out the door, unless they discount them.
Did NF hinted at NXS getting eventually phased out by NX8?

I believe it was on NF website for a few weeks. Weird they pulled it off...
Full specs can be found, like there: ww.nightvisionoutfitters.com/products/nightforce-nx8-2-5-20-4-32-pre-order-deposit
No offense to Hirsch, the website is american and can't ship here.
Funny NF can't figure that as quick as we do. Hirsch has a used 3.5-15 at 2150$, that's better than the full retail.
It is used, apples and oranges.
I expect a used scope to take at least a 20% hit, but that’s just me and the way i deal with the market.
Right now i do have the money,
The project is in no rush, it’s just to complete my M24 lookalike hunting/tactical/range fun gun.
I will wait this one out, something gotta give in the market, as i do not expect NXS to move at it’s current price point, given the current NX8 price point.
I may be wrong though,
And if I’m wrong I’ll just buy the NX8 as i see less value per dollar in the NXS now that the NX8 specs are out
