I’m not sure why so many bots and infiltrating advertisers have permeated and propagated this thread over the years, but for anyone actually alive and reading this thread, the NXS definitely is not the best “high end” scope on the market, not even within Nightforce’s brand, and the outdated Viper PST II isn’t the best optic around $1000. The lower list of import crap is also just that - crap. That list above makes very little sense - the scopes listed are VERY different tools, having an FFP 34mm 5.5-22x56mm tactical scope on the same list as a tiny 3.5-10x40mm 1” SFP hunting scope is just silly.
