How do you like your NX8? Finally have everything on order for the AR10 build so need to decide on a LPVO.

I love it.

Also have a Trijicon accupower (or something like that) that is really good but it's much larger and heavier than the Nightforce.

The nightforce is small for a LPVO and the glass is amazing.

Yeah I think I’m sold on getting one. Been wanting a nightforce for awhile anyways.

I have two. This one and and ATACR 5-25x56.

They're strong scopes with some of the best glass you can get.
Better glass than my Razor.

Yeah I’ve only heard good things. I was close to getting one for my Christensen bolt gun but ended up going with the Zeiss.

I think the NX8 will be exactly what I’m looking for.

Will be needing another LPVO sooner rather than later for the SLR AR15 build. Will be 16” 5.56. Would like to be closer to $1000 for that one. Any suggestions?

On my two new ones:

16" Radian I put the nightforce on it.
14.5" I put an Aimpoint T2 on it. Very happy with the Aimpoint right now.

As to LPVO, get on Sniperhide and see if you can find a used one. The Vortex razor in 1-8 should be close to there. Just be patient.

I can attest to bbvdd’s statements. I have an ATACR and NX8 as well. Both in MOAR-T reticle, and could not be happier.

Aimpoint T2


I have one and love it. Great dot.

Yeah I’m thinking that’s what I’ll do. I think the Razor 1-8 should be perfect for that build.

Just a word on it. Be pretty diligent, research and set your price. If you find one that hits that level, be quick but look at the poster's history.

I did see a Vortex Gen2 1-6 with the mount for $1050.

Yeah I’ve bought a few things from there and Rokslide. Definitely some good deals to be had but I’ve usually found talking to eurooptic I can normally get a good enough discount to make sense to go new on a lot of things.

Nothing yet. Once I get my handguards in I'll be able to finish my AR10 and then focus on the AR15. Need to order the NX8 too. Now that deer season is finally over I've got time to turn my focus back to these.

Not yet. I have the upper together, should get the rest of the stuff this next week. It's turning out to be pretty expensive.

Yeah building always seems to be more expensive than buying. I always blow my budget whenever I build

Forgot I purchased a second radian adac lower a while back and it just came in. If anyone is looking for one and wants a pretty good deal let me know
