    The latest models are called the nx8 line.
    As in 8x magnification.
    The three models are a 1x8 ,
    2.5x20x50 and a 4x32x50.
    All first focal plane with ed glass (better)
    Lighter than the nsx and come standard with the great tenabrex covers.
    They also have a magnification ring and power throw lever as it has gone away from turning the whole ocular assembly.
    Ground breaking when put altogether in a smaller lighter package with their three R's
    Rugged reliable and repeatable.

    I'm really looking forward to seeing on of these in the flesh, part of me doesn't think NF can pull all this off for the MSRP they are posting.
    If they do pull it off, this will be the ultimate Jack of all trades, Master of all!
