Will be my next purchase for sure

Played with one of these in the shop the other day, super impressive glass, noticably nicer than the vx3. Turrets nice and positive as well. Good scope for the $$ for sure.

Have access to a VX5 2-10, excellent hunting scope and would be my choice for sure - except it dont dial.

And just did my research, they do now have a 2-10 that dials. Either the VX5 or the Kahles will be my pick. Anybody wanna buy a 30-06, or a spare kidney or a SxS shotty?

I have a VX5 3-15x44 with the Impact 29 reticle I'm needing to sell. Can send me a PM if interested.

Have used for a few of GPREs 22lr shoots and it's been excellent.

Go the VX5 2-10 ZL2, you know how good the 3-15 is. As mentioned the resale is almost guaranteed if you change you mind. Bloody PRS Al, you got the bug?

Gotta keep up with my boy! Like my 3-15, bloody good scope. But I dont need all that power so thought I would see whats around. Gonna be a toss up between the VX5 or a Kahles.
And it looks like I may be parting with a BSA 30-06 to do it if I can find a buyer.

@Husky1600 have you settled on a scope yet? I have a NXS 2.5-10x32 with a pair of NF rings that I'd sell. They don't offer the Velocity 600 reticle any more, but it looks like this...

I had the same scope when they first came out, regret selling it. But sold it for more than I paid, so can’t complain.

Is the NXS a dial scope? And does it have zero stop? If it is a dial scope it certainly fits what Im after, then we would need to start talking beer tokens.

The NXS and the VX5 2-10 would be my pick. I have a 2-10 NXS and is also illuminated which is a tick for me these days, dialable and zero stop and obviously can be used for fencing if you leave your hammer behind.
Mine is Mildot reticle and I can’t fault it as a good robust scope so I’d definitely have a look at this one above and compare directly with a VX5 2-10 as they offer very different things.

Your original post describes an NXS compact on every point.
The Digilum on the newer model would be a desirable plus on top of those points.
Snap up the next second hand one you see, you won’t be disappointed.
I have the 42mm with the MOAR reticle, it’s the bees knees.

@Husky1600 this one is pre zero stop but is dialable and illuminated. I’ll take some pics in the next day or so and post them here.
