I have a NF 4-16 ATACR (mine is in mils) on my bolt gun and I've been very impressed. I have an older NF 3.5-15 NXS F1 on my SR-25, and it's a nice scope, but the ATACR is lighter, shorter, and at least as clear. I highly recommend. You can get a decent rebate off of MAP through their military pricing, as well (about $400-500).
So I had to go to the NF website... I didn't realize they still made the NXS. Personally, I'm a FFP snob and NF doesn't make a NXS F1 anymore, which is why I was mentioning the ATACR. If SFP is okay with you, then I can understand going with the NXS. Either way, I'd still try and do the .mil pricing through NF to knock even more money of the NXS.
MAP is Minimum Advertised Price. It's possible to get a new NF scope for less than MAP, but generally it's not that much lower and if NF finds out, they get cranky at the retailer. The .mil pricing list will show every single product with a reduced price off of MAP. All you have to do is email NF and they'll send it. I emailed from my NMCI account and it made it even simpler.
Did the same.. Mostly due to versatility of ammunition"....308. Haven't ruled out getting a Creedmoor upper to keep it company later, though.

Yessir! It's a snap taking it down. Mine is the 6" version which was the same price as the 4" one so I figured why not? It's not like I'm going to tote this around in my waistband.
Just put the Aimpoint Pro Patrol on my M1A Scout, pretty happy with that thing. Thinking about bumping it up forward to the scout rail though. Have you just been using standard flat spray paints on your rifles?
Yup. Just using khaki, sand, Dark Earth (I think that's what they call it) and occasionally forest green (again, something like that). I think it's Rustolem, but can't remember. It's whatever Walmart sells. Works great, and if you apply it in the sun, it dries immediately. It will be soft for a few days, but usable.
I've only painted that rifle and another Colt lower (pictured above), but I enjoy the character...plus it actually makes the gun less hot to the touch when it sits in the FL sun.
Another Glock for my collection. Had to get it just for the Battle Worn markings..
