I like that. It would work well with my Vortex Impact 4000. Will have to see how good glass is though.

IMO, Meopta makes superb stuff. I'm geniunely curious if they're making this one too. I always told people that evidently Zeiss and Leica thought very highly of Meopta too since Meopta was the OEM for both of them, making their big spotters for a while for them.

Depending on glass could be a great ATC/STC competitor. Plus for the guys that want/need a reticle, it's unmatched by anything I've seen on the market. They definitely found a hole they jumped in and will fill. Impressive offering by NF...we know it'll be tough, what will the glass quality be (as some of y'all have already stated)?

Dumb, why not get a real spotter with less eye fatigue and more FOV

It goes down to only 6X Alot, Looking through that eye piece for hours has migraine written all over it. Brings nothing to market out side of weight when compared to vortex, swaro and kowa. After Owning 50 mm spotter, Id rather carry weight of 65 6x is worth less in a spotter, My hand help range finder has more power… It reminds me of a pirates telescope. Arrrrrrr Mattttttie Landdd hooooo Im sure it will work as advertised but I wouldnt want to try to find and spot hits with. just my thoughts

What's wrong with the eye piece? I've spent all day, many days behind NF ATACR, no eye fatigue, no headache.
Turn it up above 6X if you want.
I spot to 800 yards weekly, and rarely turn the 20-60X Swaro above 30X.

arrrr Mattieeee, Goodd luck just my opinion but glassing for extended period is not enjoyable with any 50mm spotter.

two eyes, One eyes hurts, Had to do that when a rolled 11x45 down a mountain. Remember the vortex recon? and doubler… Have they released the eye relief? I wonder how tight that eye box is. It could be that cat’s meowwww, But … probably not, but I have been wrong.

They lost me at 50mm. Maybe down the road it will have a proper sized objective. It does seem versatile other than that though.

What would be a proper sized objective? From ever spotters Ive used going from 50 to 115mm, 65mm is the cross over with good glass , Not sure if it has to do with eye piece, exit pupil, Eye relief, FOV, sight box or what, but its not pleasant glass extended period. I thought maybe it was just razor glass, but the STC by swaro is same way

Maybe they will listen to outdoorsman and make a 65mm one day. Still keep the size and weight down, but maybe you'll be happier with it.

99.9% of shooters/hunters don't know the useful difference between a 50mm spotter and a larger one. They will sell a bunch of them, but not to me.

The STC is what I really thought I wanted. its swaro glass so is good but you will enjoy the 65 alot more. especially when you want to zoom in on something. FOV is tiny as you hit max zoom. Bottom of Zoom range its great. mid up, gets realllllll tight

Brings nothing to market out side of weight when compared to vortex, swaro and kowa.
I beg to differ, the reticle is going to be a pretty big deal for certain people. The mag range is perfectly useable for those certain people too.

Can't imagine why regular Joe hunters, which make up probably 95% of the market, would find one useful. Gotta agree with Bobo as well, at least for my ageing eyeballs (63), I like 65mm+ for spotters. I believe Athlon has also brought a Mil reticle spotter to the market for those interested. Tract has a superb spotter with one as well, but it's not 50mm.
