Had him do the stock also so it was a better match.

Pros:
Better ballistics

Cons:

I'd say do it. I have one in the works to go with my 10.3" 5.56 mini. Just can't decide if I want to do 12.5" or go 16".

I am definitely doing 12.5 if I do it. Most shots will be 5 and in. Thinking of doing the PSA build kit with 12.5 adjustable gas upper and SB3 brace until I get another stamp in.

Game shots would be inside 200.

Tuned for suppressed I assume?

I really need to get off my ass and put a BRT block on some of my builds. It amazes me how quiet at the ear my mini-nsw is. At the ear, it is the quietest build I have because that bitch is straight choked at the gas port. The smoothness is just a nice bi-product.

Steiner optically stomps a mudhole in the nx8s ass. However, the nx8 is tiny, light, FFP, amazing reticle, and bomb proof.

I'd recommend the nx8 over the x24. However, I have both and love both.

Having owned and used both, I choose NX8. Even at over double the cost, the size, weight, and usefulness of 8x overtakes the P4Xi for my purposes. If I wanted a 4x LPVO, I’d go back to an Elcan, as the Elcan smokes the P4Xi in pretty much all categories, IMO.
