I run an offset red dot* 1-8, surprisingly poor eyebox at 1x, but the eyebox from 2-6x or so is totally fine for magnified shooting positions. 8x eyebox wasn’t as bad as people said. But yeah, the 1x was surprisingly worse than expected. My cheapo 1-6 vortex and primary arms had better 1x eye boxes. And the NX8 has a narrow field of view to boot (though not as tight as the ATACR).
* 4-32, perfectly acceptable eyebox all the way the way through 20x. And then it’s super tight, but no tighter than any other high mag optic.
Edit: If you’re thinking about the NX8, give it a try and see for yourself. It’s definitely worth checking out for yourself rather than taking internet opinions. Because it does have a lot going for it.
