I have both a NXS 8-32 and a BR 8-32 the NXS has a thicker reticle. They are made to last and the turrets will last forever. They handle comp shooters adjusting them every range every weekend for years without problems.

A common mistake on here is people say that the reticle is crowded when on high magnification a classic case of giving information without ever having used one. The reticle is more compact crowded on low magnification and enlarges when on high magnification. I like the G2 reticle.
