Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 135Patriots: How's 1x on the dual CCs? I've had an itch for one but it makes me a bit sad that it's the cost of like two NX8s. It's actually about 3 NX8's nowadays (new)  I think it's great- super flat. Like, your brain doesn't have to do any work because its like you're looking through a pane of glass. The downside of it, compared to a Razor Gen II, is that they made that serrated ocular housing, and that makes the shadow/image of it in you FOV seem really chonky. I also HATE non-locking diopters, hence the ghetto brown gaffers tape. With the serrations, it will turn on you when you're not watching... I also went back to the S&B because I realized I really prefer an illuminated dot as opposed to an illuminated shrunk-down segmented circle on 1x. I think a crisp, bright dot isn't slower than a larger bright blob. All just my opinion though. |

Went away from the 1.93 Ultramount back to a 1.54 AUS30 with the ROF90 and RM06. For my uses I really think this is as good as it gets. The 1.93 did "open up" the NX8 at 1X, but it came at the cost of repeatable precision past 200yds. The 1.54 gives me a solid cheekweld for distance work and it's not awful on 1X provided you get into it. The RMR at 12 O'clock gives me a lot of confidence for close things at speed. It's just there and you don't have to get "into" it like with a scope on 1X. Very forgiving of imperfect positions and small enough to see around when "looking for work."

Honestly, G rails are about the best thing going. Readily available and I’ve never had an issue with one, plus they’re about the easiest thing to install and DDC is cool to boot. I haven’t found anything better and I play musical accessories/components with the best of them. |

I wish NF would make a NX8 2-16x40mm instead of the 2.5-20x50mm and put the FC-DMX reticle in it. I think that stands a good chance of hitting 20oz and being a true update to the NXS 2.5-10x42mm.
Disclaimer: I've said this somewhere else, here, DLO, or SH. Still true though. ETA: I had higher hopes for lower weight on the new March MPVO but it turned out to be 24oz. |

Still deciding on a scope. Never really warmed up to my Razor, but I'm ready to give an LPVO another try. Thinking something up to 8x and FFP, probably NX8. Just slightly off put by the segmented circle and "busy" reticle.
   @eyekahn Tight, but no touching. Even during mounting or if I try to flex it. |

I have a capped NX8 with FC-Mil. Recently I looked through both an ATACR and newer NX8 with the DMX and personally felt that on 1X those dots were larger and a little less defined/fuzzier than my NX8 dot.

Recently I looked through both an ATACR and newer NX8 with the DMX and personally felt that on 1X those dots were larger and a little less defined/fuzzier than my NX8 dot. Good to know. Went back and forth between the PLxC that was recommended and the NF. Ultimately went with the NX8 in MOA. Thought about trying a different reticle, but my limited distance shooting experience has always been done that way. Wasn't quite ready to learn something new. Not to mention my other NX8 is already MOAR so if I liked one more than the other I'd have to fork over the money to switch. Scope should arrive next week. |

The fc-dmx shouldn't be a dot-it should be a bullseye type reticle. If you're seeing a fuzzy dot the diopter isn't set correctly |
