Nightforce NX8 1-8 vs AtacR 1-8

[@ebr-fan1117]

Best, most strait forward comparison and explanation of each scope, the benefits and slight weaknesses. Thanks for the video.

[@Sigspearthumb1]

Best review I've seen on the two. At least now I know how to make the consideration.

[@SM-ii8pg]

I'm going to be honest here... Within the first minute I was going to close the video and find a different one (Never seen your channel, immediately seemed slow paced). I'm glad I didn't. The way in which you described and compared these two scopes and compared them to one another was perfect. Awesome information, thank you.

[@drewjonespdx]

1.5x speed is where its at!

[@hobartward694]

Love my NX-8 with the FC-DMx reticle in a scalarworks mount! That scope with my flat face Triggertech trigger I can hit anything.

[@jasonlommen4769]

What rifle do you have your NX8 mounted too? I finally today got a chance to look through one first hand. I absolutely love that reticle! I have a Scar 17 I want to mount it on.

[@RyanLackey]

This was a very well presented video -- I've got the NX8 and want to get an Atacr or possibly a Kahles or S&B or March for another rifle, and it's nice to see more info on the practical differences of the Atacr.

[@connormckay9429]

With the NX8 being available for around 1500ish I think it also present an extremely good value as well since the ATACR is still like 2x that for the slight improvements you get.

[@JosephWhales]

Hey man, You are one of few that gets it. Good video.

[@drummnl]

Great video, really easy to understand the technical information.

[@CutlassOutdoors]

Great comparison! I have both and I agree with everything you said. Both are fantastic.

[@RedBeard-uf6yb]

Outstanding review Sir! I really appreciate the well reasoned explanation of the differences between the optics.

[@geomod6850]

Thank you for the clear and concise information! Best comparison I have seen.

[@LRRPFco52]

The NX8 is great on little short-barreled 6.5 Grendels. FoV and reticle are great, as is how compact it is.

[@flintironstag9983]

Good to see I’m not the only one that has no eyebox issues with the NX8.

[@dvazquez5652]

I haven’t had any true eye box issues with my NX8 either… I’m pretty sure most people who claim issues are either being unreasonably picky or parroting complaints because they don’t understand the purpose or both

[@D-LineReviews]

I’ve seen a lot of people talking about how the plxc eyebox is so much more forgiving…. Ya I have both and the nx8 smokes it…. To me the nx8 is better all around

[@christianhowell3791]

What height mount are you running on the NX8?

[@drdan9158]

This is a great video. If you could buy just one, for TTG and 2 gun, which would it be?

[@alonzokincaid1362]

Both

[@HNT318]

You mentioned options in called and uncapped turrets. I haven’t seen that option on any sites when I look at them. Do the turret caps come with the optic and is it your own choice to use them?

[@drdan9158]

FC MIL is uncapped I think

[@alexharwell1346]

How does the 1x compare? Is the atacr as bright as the nx8 is said to be?

[@GerryPrompt]

Do you win if you sneak up and find the most muscly guys?

[@123-p4e6z]

Aren't they both dark earth? why do they look so much different?

[@jaredhalbert5628]

Yes they are, the color is quite a bit different.

[@robvigesaa5738]

They are different. Nightforce uses slightly different shades of FDE anodizing between their ATACR and NX8 lines. This carries on beyond just the 1-8 scopes. Just another way that they use to differentiate the two lines.

[@TheHashtagSquad2K15]

Because that’s how anodizing works. No two batches are the same.

[@D-LineReviews]

I love my nx8 it has the fc reticle but I absolutely love it…. Bought a plxc as well and I hear a lot about it and I like it but nx8 is better….. I’m gonna sell my plxc to go towards atacr

[@gokuryu]

Are they both FFP?

[@birdwk]

Yes

[@drdan9158]

Jared, seem like there would be the need for more than 8x for 700 yds. What am I missing?

[@jaredhalbert5628]

Yes, these are both FFP

[@jaredhalbert5628]

8x is plenty, and when you’re talking magnification and distance the most important factor is clarity. A 10 or 12x scope with lower quality glass can make it very hard to see a target that you can see clearly with a 6-8x scope with high quality glass.

[@HazardousRob]

Really dumb that most of nightforces scopes are made in Japan. So much for a USA company

[@willl4219]

Japan makes the best scopes

[@woodcutwrat]

They're actually an Australian company

[@ellerybice3787]

👀🤔🫡

[@x0j]

the NX8 comes in MOA, the atacr doesn't. I am considering it just for that alone
