Default Nightforce NX8 2.5-20x

Does anyone have experience with the NX8 2.5-20x? I'm thinking about getting it for my LMT MWS. I was originally leaning towards the NX8 1-8x, but was thinking the 2.5-20x would probably be better for my needs. It'll be for shooting from 250-700 yards. The ATACR 4-16x may be an option too.

Have you considered the Leupold MK5HD, either versions? 3.6-18x seems like more than enough for 700 yards. I just got one and the glass is really clear and it's pretty light.

I got the first batch, it's a nice optic, great glass and nightforcw arguably has the best turrets out there. The major downside for me is the extremely sensitive parallax. I'm talking every 50 yard increment has no forgiveness, which ended up being the deal breaker for me. Hope that helps.

I have a NX8 4-32 and I like it quite a bit. It is harder to get behind though than what I would usually desire.
