Its not a BDC reticle so you can use whatever zero you want.
I used what was available to me at the time of zero. Using my local range I zeroed at 96 yards (thats was the distance from muzzle to target on my rangefinder). I later used hornady’s free ballistic calculator to get an idea of mil holds for my particular barrel and ammo. Worked decent so I haven’t felt the need to change my zero yet Example:  Attached File |

Looks to be set up for 100 meter zero with that reticle and the turrets.

It’s not setup for any zero. The reticle is mils or moa and so are the turrets.
I have a lot of time on NX8s. I like ‘em zeroed at 200 and just hold over for 300 that’s about as far as I’ve taken one. The reticle at 8X is pretty coarse to dial and use the center but there’s no wind holds so holding over can be a bitch. The turret/reticle on the NX8 makes absolutely no sense at all. It’s a good 1-6200 yard optic that be cranked up to 8X for scouting/ID use. |

Just zero for the top of the post, or use holds, IMO |

I have never had trouble shooting sub MOA with it on several occasions with non-match ARs I do think the reticle is for shooting people though, not prairie dogs. Last two times zeroing with the dot:  Attached File Attached File |

It’s easy to zero on a B8 at 100 with the segmented circle . |

I love the reticle.
People actually dial instead of use the stadia lines for holds? Pushed to 388y because that's the longest range near me. |

Great optic and reticle, although I have MOA instead of MIL. Everything I have is 100 yd zero except PCCs, which are 50.
I have taken mine to 350 yards with no issues at all. Then again I don't understand people who try to use 1-6/8/10 for uber precision work and there are people in this life who enjoy complaining. And when you make a product, nothing will please everyone. Ever. Don't like it? Move along to something else that gives you wood, ladies. |

I’d do a 100m if I planned on doing a lot of holdover/dialing, or a 50/200ish if I planned on mostly dead-hold shooting at closer distances. Either work, but to me the NX8 is more suited to 50/200ish and holding as necessary past that.

I would use Strelok and see the drop differences between 50yd zero vs 100yd. For me with my ammo and a 50yd zero:
200-0 mils 300-0.9 mils 400-1.9 mils 500-3.1 mils Pretty simple to hold over and be accurate from 0-500 yards. |

I have mine on a 16" 5.56. I zeroed at 50 yards. 300 yards is the bottom of the segmented circle.
I haven't shot it past that yet. |
