I have personally handled the ATACR 1-8, almost a year ago. It is amazing. The trijicon 1-8 is a piece of junk, by comparison. Of course, we're talking about two completely different price points.
I have not seen or touched the NX8, so no comment, other than I will own both of these optics in the near future.Will - Owner of Arisaka LLC - http://www.arisakadefense.com

It’s only an extra $500....when you’re already spending $1200 I guess I’m of the mind that the expense can be spared.
The weight is an issue: 25oz (Trijicon) vs 17oz (NF). It’s one of the reasons I’m looking for a “daily duty” scope to relegate my higher magnification scope to load testing...same weight as the Trijicon. I realize the PST II is in a different class entirely but it’s about the least expensive low to mid optic with halfway decent glass I’ve found.
I need to figure out if the extra 2x is worth it or if I should pick up an 2.5-10x (the x32 NF are still out there and priced around what the 1-8 Trijicon is and 6oz lighter)

That EuroOptic price is pretty epic for the ATACR. I'm going to try and remember to send an email to NF when I get back to work this week and see if they have .mil pricing yet.

Ordered an ATACR from NF. Initially was told F1 scopes are backed up 90-120 days, but then today the email said it should be within 90 days. In the meantime, hopefully some people at SHOT can take more reticle photos.

A friend of mine who is much more into precision shooting and long range hunting recently got an ATACR. That thing is a BEAST! Great optic, but Lordy it's heavy!Fortunately, it's mission is bench, or tripod shooting!
There's no "Team" in F**K YOU!

I think we're talking about a different ATACR. There are many models using the ATACR glass. I'm just talking about their new 1-8.
I do have an ATACR 4-16 and it's pretty awesome.
