Default N.F. NXS versus Benchrest ,

Hi all,
just wondering if anyone of you have experience of the Nightforce Benchrest scopes versus the NXS ?
Reasion is ask is I have a 8-32 56 Nxs and was offered a BR version, is there any difference in the models other than the 1/4 clicks versus the 1/8th clicks ????
Thanks again

The benchrest model has an adjustable objective for parallax unlike the NXS models which adjust on the side wheel, they have less elevation than the NXS series as well, and the benchrest model is built for benchrest and isnt as robust as the NXS series for field work...what are you going to be using it for?

I was going to stick it on a .223 that I currently have a Leopold Mk4 on.
I have a NXS on my .308 FTR, I don't really have a need for it to be totally honest but it might be comming at the right money,,, you know yourself, you can't have tooooooo many toys :-)
The more I look into it to be honest the less likely I an to going for it.

I have a NXS 8-32-56 on my savage 12 f/tr, but am using a swarovski 6-18 -50 on my 223, would love to change it for a good tactical scope though.

Hi Greenpeter,
Yes and no,
I sold it to a mate who had to return it back to be as he got stuck for cash.
Think I'll keep it on the .223 to be honest.
