I like how compact the NX8 is. It would be sick with a larger exit pupil, but I don't find it too problematic. Mated to a 12" Grendel, it's a great combo. I have the Razor Gen III 1-10x, which is another great scope in this class. Looking forward to getting the Vortex AMG 1-10.
Very nice review. I’m thinking with either scope, that squirrel in the tree at 150 yards is smoked!! 😂 And you’re ringing the gong at 500 yards with either.
I have not used it yet, this is more of an unboxing/optical properties type video vs a review of functional use at this point. It is my opinion, however, that the NX8 and ATACR are similar for CQB until you introduce things like a VTAC barricade, etc. where the eyebox of the ATACR may (or may not, depending on the shooter) pay off. However, at distance, I very much prefer the ATACR's optical properties, as you can clearly observe 90-95% of the FOV whereas the NX8 outside of what NV guys call "Zone 1" is rather blurry due to the depth of the field of focus being so short. That was my original impetus to stomach the 5.2oz penalty and snag an ATACR.
I had the the opportunity to look through a nx8 a few months ago and I was not impressed. The vudu has a much flatter image that is sharper and overall just cleaner edge to edge IMO. The nx8 has a prominent fish bowling effect at low power. Still a good scope but for the price I think their are better options.
It does fish bowl, but the bright illumination plus being very nearly a real and true 1x make it awesome on 1x, dynamically. I prefer it to the atacr for those reasons on 1x. To me, where the nx8 functionally compromises is light transmission and depth of field at 6-8x.
If you adjust the diopter properly it will flatten out the 1x a bit. I still think it is a great option if you are looking for a small, lightweight LPVO.
I didn't realize there was such a noticeable difference at the edges, great comparison

Thank you for the side by side comparison!
The aus with the acro top mount is my favorite scope setup.

Appreciate the content
How do you like the ATACRs 1x Performance for CQB?

Appreciate the reply sir. I hope it serves you well!
Can you tell me what objective cover you’re using on the NX8?
That is a Tenebraex
What mount is that ?

@@__K__B__ Diopter was correctly adjusted in both.
