FC2 and FC3G are great reticles.
Has been discussed at length in this forum- the 1-x will provide greater flexibility than a fixed power prism. |

Personally I've found myself marginally faster with my TA33 than I was when I had my 1.5-4x Leupold. Just going to be personal preference largely.
The exceptionally forgiving eyebox on the TA33 makes it very quick and easy, closer to a red-dot than most scopes. |

The FC3G reticle is really good.
At 1X it’s big and bold enough that you can run it in no light with a white light no problem. It’s second focal plane so it a has a very generous eyebox. The main drawback is edge distortion and to a very lesser extent the image can look a little yellow at dawn/disk conditions. At 4X the reticle is still good, the BDC is fine enough to be precise at 300+, the exit pupil is still good to use in very low light and the illumination turns down enough to use in those conditions. The illumination is not daylight bright, but the reticle is good enough that it just doesn’t have to be. It’s a great little optic that Nightforce should have updated with better glass and illumination. |

Razor HD II 1-6.
Daylight bright red dot at a true 1x. The glass is very clear and it comes with a few reticles to choose from. Rugged, but a little heavy. Do curls. |

They basically have updated it with the NX8, same weight/size just different reticle, definitely daylight bright though. Quote HistoryQuoted:

It looks like what you would expect the government to come up with. It’s a fucked up scope. I have an ATACR 1-8 and love it though. |

How long have you had it? Are you using it with both eyes open?

I switched from the 1.5x ACOG to the NF 1-4 w/ FC-2. The performance improvement easily overshadowed the minor increase in weight.
With the 1-8s coming out, there are some deals to be had on 1-4s, too. |

I think the going rate has been $750-900 for those. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: On the EE here I found the ATACR for $2150 and the NX8 for $1450. @samuse In what application would you use each one, in your opinion? (on what kind of rifle setups) |

whats the differences between these 2 optics? Whenever I see Nightforce being talked about on this forum its those 2 optics. @samuse In what application would you use each one, in your opinion? (on what kind of rifle setups) Quote HistoryQuoted:

(on what kind of rifle setups) The only thing I saw that the NX8 has going for it is small size and light weight. It should have been a second focal plane with a the FC3G BDC reticle. It would have been optically mich better and easier to use. The reticle would have been a lot better on 1X and 8X had it been 2FP. The ATACR has a much better reticle, has a better eyebox, is just an easy scope to get behind. It has capped turrets and a reticle that has elevation and wind holds. The illumination is very daylight bright. |
