Is anyone using either of these scopes.
Are they worth the dollars

Z8 is the best hunting scope for NZ conditions I believe. If you can afford one, just buy it they are incredible.
The NX8 is my next purchase (2-20) but they have their limitations.
Both are fine but the nx8 just feels TOUGH.... i really rate mine
If you want an optic that wont let you down go the nx8 .
I have the 4x32 and love it.
In fact getting another one with the mil xt reticle next week

Got a Z8i 1-8 on top of the Kimber, easily the best scope I've owned, glass is excellent!

I got a couple of Nightforce NXS and Scwaranovvssski Z8i's the Z8i to my eyes is clearer.
Have a Z8i 1-8 I would sell for the right price if you are interested.
The nxs is old but very good technology.Quote:

The night force mantra is rugged reliable and repeatable.
There is a cost to that of weight but if your sliding down a scree slope out of control on your first day of a 10 day trip and land on your optic I know what I would rather have.

Ive got Schmidt & Bender PMII's Z8i is as clear great glass.
Also compared my Elcan Spectre to the Z8 the Z8 is top notch that's why I got two and use them more than the Nightforce I personally was disappointed by the glass in my NF.
Just my opinion.
As I said the nx8 line and atacr are a major step up in glass from the nsxQuote:

I would suggest you have not been looking at real special forces or are you ex SAS or SBS I think your a salesman perchance :thumbsup:
The US Marines are also Schmidt and Bender.
Both of my Nightforce scopes purchased in the USA have a wee sticker on the bottom made in Japan.
European glass is the best in the world allegedly :P
Correct.Quote:

Pretty well much all civilian scopes are made in Japan and have been for a long time.Quote:

All military scopes are made in the usa as it has something to do with sourcing usa made military equipment.
There is a reason s & b are not first choice for high end military use..
Great glass but after using a s&b compact very unimpressed with the clicks and I just about needed grips to adjust the parallax.
Not good on a 7k scope.
