9er,
I own a Nomad and I think it's a great little scope for the money. It's the scope I throw in my backpack. I haven't looked through the Impact, but from what I have heard it's not as good as the Nomad. Just remember that neither one of these scopes have ED glass and they are not going to be as clear and have the color fidelity that your razors do, but they also don't cost nearly as much. Here is the first picture I took through my Nomad using the digiscoping adapter from about 40 yards away right before dark.

9er,
The only scope I have owned/used in the Nomads price range is the Leupold Sequoia and IMHO the Nomad is much better. I compared it side by side with the Skyline ED before I bought it and I couldn't tell a difference between the two scopes other than the larger field of view and a slight edge in low light with the Skyline. For some reason I was not able to notice the difference of the ED glass in the Skyline, like I do with my Vipers. I think the Nomad is as good as you can get in low light conditions in it's price range. It will be the scope I am using 90% of the time this fall, so I am happy with it. Now I guess we will see how durable it is because I have lots of critters to chase around in the next few months and it will be riding on my back.![smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
