NF NXS vs NX8

[JamesnTN]

I don’t see anything here comparing the 2
So my question follows.
I’m looking at either the NXS 8-32 with ZS or a NX8 4-32.
Which of the 2 is the better optics and tracking?
I know the NXS has always been NF tank scope.
I can purchase either one pretty much same price so I’m wanting the absolute best optic and functionality between the 2.
Thanks in advance.

My NX8 4-32 is F1. I really do not like it. 8X is too much power range for an F1 scope and the reticle is almost invisible at 4x and HUGE at 32x. I assume you are looking at F2 version of the NX8. That's what I wish I had gotten. My buddy got the F2 and it is really nice. The NX8s are somewhat lighter than the NXS. The glass is good glass and no tracking issues with either NX8. I have never had any tracking issues with any of my Nightforces though.

I got the nx8 4x32 to put on an p-dog ar-15
It seems to track fine, the glass is ok if I keep it backed off max. Not as clear as my ATCR But not bad. Mines ffp.

Nx8 f1 glass is excellent on mine easily compares to the atacr scopes i have. Only complaint i have is the parallax is very finicky, lots of backlash kinda like issues on leupold scopes. Like as in if you go past the perfect spot you have to adjust back alot to find the parallax free spot again. As in it is not in the same spot every time. All my other nightforce scopes i can set parallax with ease. Maybe this scope i have is defective it sits on my 22lr for ARA shooting
