Tactical Optics

If hunting big, dangerous game is your passion, there is no better scope on the market to keep the odds in your favor. Its low profile complements big bore bolt action and double rifles. At 1 power, it is as quick as open sights and vastly more precise, allowing you to shoot with both eyes open. Your field of view is a full 100 feet at 100 yards, providing instant target acquisition and precise shot placement. It is designed for hunting dangerous game at close quarters, in dense brush, and for running targets. It is one of the few scopes in the world that will withstand repeated recoil from the largest magnum calibers.

Perhaps the most versatile, rugged and practical all-around scope on the market for the hunter and for general shooting. Those who thought a huge 40 or 50mm objective lens was essential for use in low light will find that the superb resolution of our lenses provides low-light performance comparable to—in most cases, exceeding—that of lesser quality scopes with massive objectives. The streamlined design of our 2.5-10 x 24 provides a wide range of mounting options and complements, rather than dominates, a fine hunting rifle. While it will easily absorb the pounding of heavy calibers, those who enjoy shooting small centerfire calibers will also appreciate a scope that does not overwhelm trimmer, elegant firearms. There are no parallax or focusing concerns, and its light weight makes it a perfect complement to a mountain rifle.

Originally developed for use on military small arms, the 3.5-15x50 nxs allows a lower mounting profile. A practical magnification range and large field of view make it an invaluable scope for professionals and serious hunters as well. A full 110 MOA of internal adjustment make 3.5-15 models extremely versatile in the field and applicable to a wide range of applications.

The 3.5-15x56 NXS is the top choice for law enforcement snipers. A large objective lens increases resolution and exit pupil size for quicker target acquisition and optimal light performance in twilight conditions…an especially useful configuration for tactical teams that may not have a dedicated night vision scope. This superior optical design also benefits hunters and sport shooters who want a scope to perform in the shadows. It offers a full 110 MOA of adjustment and a practical magnification range. A large field of view allows the shooter to recover quickly from recoil for a second shot.

Originally developed for the U.S. military’s extreme long range shooting and hard target interdiction, both 5.5-22 Nightforce models provide a broad magnification range, four inches of eye relief and 100 MOA of elevation travel. These characteristics have proven highly appropriate for the .50 BMG, allowing shooters to accurately reach to 2000 yards and beyond. It retains a slim profile and is easily adaptable to a wide range of mounting systems. The superb resolution at high magnification also opens an entirely new world of extended range for the accomplished marksman.

The 5.5-22 x 56 NXS is the ultimate long range scope. Its 56mm objective lens provides maximum clarity and resolution across the entire magnification range. The most advanced field tactical scopes ever produced, the wide magnification factor of our 5.5-22 series allows precision accuracy at the longest ranges, yet at 5.5 power remains highly effective for shots at close ranges. Nightforce was the first company committed to perfecting extreme magnification variable power scopes. Our years of experience perfecting long-range optics is evident in every scope we build.

Since 1992, Nightforce has been a winner in countless benchrest competitions. We have taken that knowledge and success and combined it with the durability and features of our NXS line to create the ultimate long-range field and target scopes. Evolved from our tactical line, the 8-32 x 56 and 12-42 x 56 offer fast adjustments for precise, repeatable shot placement. The extremely high magnification ranges mean there is now virtually no target outside the capable shooter’s reach.

The 12-42 x 56 NXS is the highest magnification scope we make. It provides optical resolution comparable to the highest quality spotting scopes and unsurpassed clarity across the entire magnification range. Both the 8-32 and 12-42 utilize 56mm objectives specifically designed for optimum resolution under all conditions—even at the highest magnification. In the past, accomplished long-range shooters could only wish for a scope equal to the capability of modern flat-shooting calibers. The question now becomes, does your rifle measure up to the 12-42 x 56 NXS?

Each of our Precision Benchrest models feature 56mm multi-coated lenses, providing the superior resolution necessary to distinguish fine detail at extremely long ranges. An adjustable objective allows extra-fine focus to adjust parallax from 25 yards to infinity.

Target turrets are calibrated in true .125 M.O.A. (1/8 click) values and can be re-indexed to zero after sighting in.

Both Precision Benchrest riflescopes are equipped with a coil spring plunger return system to maximize tracking accuracy. The eyepiece provides fast reticle focusing, and a glass-etched illuminated reticle provides optimum image/reticle contrast under virtually any lighting conditions.

You have two choices of magnification ranges. But only one choice in the ultimate benchrest riflescopes.
