I have the 7mm XW and like it so much I just ordered the 10mm. Of course I'm selling other equipment to pay for it. Has anyone out there caught the XW bug yet. I think these are the new ones to beat. I love Naglers as much as the next guy but 70 degrees and 20mm eye relief are hard to beat.

I have noticed the cost of the XW is much higher than the cost of the Nagler Type6 EPs. They have 82' FOV but shorter EyeRelief. Still the price for the XWs is pretty high.

Darren, I plan on buying a lot of the XW's. I haven't tried them but I love the 10.5mm XL. I never really liked the 9mm Nagler Type 6, mostly because I had a problem with blackouts/kidney beaning. However, I think the medium and low power Naglers are just fantastic, especially the 17mm Nagler Type 4.
Can you tell me a bit more about the 7mm XW?
