I am using it on a 5.56 receiver and prefer my ocular to end even with the charging handle/receiver juncture. I'm seeing that these atacr have a huge! Arse end. What mount is light, sturdy, and will push it out there without having to mount the base of the mount at the very bleeding edge of the receiver? The scope is what it is, but I prefer to keep the mass of the mount nearest the BUIS. Pics would be nice if you have a setup you like. Dont want QD. Prefer 1/2" hardware.

    We have the NX8's in stock BTW, I'd say the Nightforce Unimount (if you don't mind 20 MOA built in) or the Magmount but the only 30mm height is 1.375. Give me a ring on the scope and I'll see what I can do

    I'm planning on the ATACR. NX8's don't do well with built-in elevation mounts. It's part of their compromise in size. Some odd optical properties emerge in some of them when you dial in significant elevation. I already have a very generous offer on an ATACR from a friend, if indeed I go that path.

    USSOCOM Selects Nightforce For Squad-Variable Powered Scopes (First Focal Plane) Contract Worth Up To $21 Million


    Today, they announced the First Focal Plane contract, awarding a little over $15 Million initially to Nightforce. Ultimately, the contract could be worth as much as $21 Million.

    The Optic is the ATACR (Advanced Tactical Rifle) 1-8x. It is similar to the commercial variant except that it will be in FDE and utilize a custom BDC reticle specified by USSOCOM.

    It's definitely a worthy scope to win that contract, I'd buy one if I can afford it
