The Nightforce NX8 2.5-20x50 F1 riflescope delivers serious long-range capability in a compact, hard-use package built for shooters who demand versatility without compromise. Designed to excel across hunting, tactical, and precision shooting applications, this first focal plane optic combines a massive magnification range, rugged construction, and crystal-clear glass into a streamlined scope that’s ready for demanding real-world conditions.
Its impressive 2.5-20x magnification range gives shooters the flexibility to engage targets up close with speed while still providing the reach needed for confident long-distance precision. The first focal plane reticle keeps holdovers and ranging references accurate at every magnification level, making fast corrections more intuitive whether you’re shooting from awkward field positions or dialing for extended-range shots. The large 50mm objective lens gathers excellent light for a bright, detailed sight picture during low-light hunts and challenging weather conditions.
Nightforce’s premium optical system delivers exceptional clarity, sharp resolution, and edge-to-edge performance that helps shooters identify targets quickly and track impacts with confidence. Precision-machined exposed turrets provide tactile, repeatable adjustments with dependable return-to-zero capability trusted by serious marksmen worldwide. The illuminated reticle system enhances visibility in changing light without overpowering the sight picture, giving shooters a clear aiming point when conditions get tough.
Built from rugged aircraft-grade aluminum, the NX8 is engineered to withstand recoil, harsh terrain, and hard field use while maintaining the rock-solid reliability Nightforce optics are known for. Despite its wide magnification range and advanced feature set, it maintains a compact profile that balances extremely well on modern rifle platforms without adding unnecessary bulk.
