I don't equate FFP to a precision optic. I see plenty of benefit for FFP in a LPV with greater than 6x magnification. My threshold for SFP is 1-6. More than 1-6, with a well designed reticle, FFP has...

While time will ultimately tell, it certainly appears as if these follow in the footsteps of Nightforce's hard use lineage. It has the look and feel of an NXS. I would not consider the SHV line that...

Key word here is preference. I'm glad the ATACR does not have the ZeroStop. Its a combat optic and peace of mind. I don't want to have to worry about where my zero is. I want to know the knobs were...

The NX8 performs near identical to the NXS 1-4, but much faster as a result of the stupid bright illuminated dot. Glass quality is good to very good, but its obvious when the ATACR and NX8 are side...

To me, yes, for reasons mentioned earlier.

When you hold the two, the quality differences are quickly apparent.

NF is somewhat a brand preference thing as I can trust their reliability. If you...

The NX8 is not in the same class as the Trijicon 1-8. The NX8 is more comparable to the VCOG.
The Trij 1-8 is not daylight visible illum. The NX8 is nuclear. The Trij reticle blows; the NX8 is well...

Because the Kahles is SFP and the NF is FFP.

FFP has design limitations. Its very much related to the distance of the reticle from the objective and the realistic diameter of the erector lenses.
...

This is very true. The optical prescription dictates the diameter of the lenses needed in an erector system to magnify the image. When the erector is made large enough to handle this larger diameter...

I have the Hunter model with 20" barrel (had anyway). I must say, it is a damn nice rifle. Hard to believe with the DPMS name on it, but actually, that has Remington design and manufacture all over...

They don't appear to be in the near future, but they have something up their sleeve.

I'm not the biggest fan of the Mk6 personally. I would maybe give a hard look at the Vortex Razor G2 1-6.

I don't take my scopes on and off and if I do, I use a Sekonk Torque Wrench to reinstall them. For repeatability sake with a NF UniMount, when torqued to the required 68 inch pounds, it will return...

Solvers are very accurate for me. I use them for all of my weapon platforms. I still verify as the verified data helps true up the algorithm. I can now establish my zero and use a solid data point...

I guess if you are not shooting to beyond 300, then the solver really does not show benefit. I shoot some of my 5.56 AR platform rifles to 600 and other rifles to a mile and sometimes more. The...

What solver did you use?

External ballistics is a science that not everyone enjoys trying to understand as it can be very confusing due to the variables that affect spin stabilized projectile flight. Muzzle velocity as...

Both of my Nightforce 1-4's were upgraded to the FC-3G. One was the older FC-2 and the other the NP-1. Both worked fine as they were but the FC-3G is much better.

You can send your current optic...

Damn good point......Garbage in, Garbage Out (GIGO). Having known dope allows you to true your ballistic algorithm so that it is accurate for your round. Without ballistic verification, a solver is...

It is often a misconception that a 200 yard zero equates to a 50 yard zero. The truth is that there is a first intersect point in the line of sight that is at a closer range and can be figured using...

When selecting a magnified optic for my GP rifle (16" Recce Carbine), I decide based on one of two criteria or not; whether or not I will have an auxiliary/complimentary sighting system in...

Ok, then that's not diopter shift; its just setting the diopter or in laymens terms.....focusing the reticle. The purpose of diopter is to focus the reticle for the users eyes. It has nothing to do...

SFP = Reticle stays constant in size but is only true on a calibrated magnification setting; usually max - the target magnifies against a fixed reticle causing the subtensions to change through...

If it is unnoticeable, how do you know it is there?

Unnoticeable.....meaning it takes a dioptrometer to identify it.

I didn't realize that the Short Dot had been out as long as it has. I picked one up in 2004-5 and found out quickly that I had no need for FFP in a low powered variable, but that I really liked the...

That is not technically true. A well and properly designed optic should not have any noticeable diopter or reticle focus shift through mag range. Diopter is there to accommodate varying types of...

Thats funny right there. That sounds as if NF is not any bigger than one person. He has been gone 4 years and the product has only gotten better than it ever was.

But I won't take anything away...
