NX8 1-8×24 F1
Designed specifically for short -to medium-range shooting, the compact NX8 1-8×24 F1 riflescope delivers trusted Nightforce performance to virtually any rifle platform, and boasts true 1x capability. The compact NX8 1-8×24 F1 has a daylight visible reticle with multiple brightness settings, and is versatile enough to use at close ranges. Plus, it has extraordinary capability at far reaching distances. The NX8 1-8×24 F1 conserves valuable real estate at only 8.75 inches in length, and weighs just 17 ounces. Ideal on a competition rifle for 3-gun, or for use in a variety of shooting disciplines; the NX8 1-8×24 F1 is also robust enough for professional use.
ATACR 1-8×24 F1
Engineered and built as the ultimate low-power variable riflescope, the new ATACR 1-8×24 F1 features a Nightforce intelligent first focal plane reticle, pristine ED glass, bright daylight illumination, and is presented in a lightweight, compact package. Measuring a mere 10 inches in length and weighing 21 ounces, the ATACR 1-8×24 F1 is rich with standard mission-critical features including a daylight-visible, center red dot for rapid engagements, and multi-coated ED glass that furnishes superb light transmission, brilliant images, and exceptional color contrast. The 8x zoom helps locate, identify, and engage targets at maximum effective ranges, while the low-profile, true .1 Mil-Radian adjustments are capped to prevent accidental adjustment.
Nightforce First Focal Plane Reticles
Optimized for low-power variable riflescopes, the FC-MOA and FC-MIL reticles are featured on the new Nightforce NX8 1-8×24 F1 riflescope, while the FC-DM outfits the ATACR 1-8×24 F1.
FC-MOA and FC-MIL Reticles
- Elevation and windage markings are valid at every magnification setting, providing precise hold and reference points
- At low power, the bright daylight center dot and segmented circle are visible under the harshest light, allowing fast, accurate shots
- At higher magnification, the clean 1 Minute of Angle (MOA) markings of the FC-MOA, and .5 and 1 Mil-Radian markings of the FC-MIL reticle provides easy hold points for moving targets, wind and elevation hold-offs, or for reference
- Bold, cross-hair posts at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock help draw the eye to the center at any magnification
FC-DM Reticle
- The 10 Mil-Radian grid allows for precise holds within the reticle
- At low power, the daylight bright center dot and segmented circle are visible under the brightest of conditions, allowing for fast and accurate target acquisition
- The clean .5 and 1 Mil-radian (MIL) markings provide easy hold points for moving targets, wind and elevation hold-offs or for reference markings
- Reference dots are spaced every 1 Mil down to 10 Mils, allowing for hold-offs and shot corrections
- For more precise engagements and use at longer ranges, the additional features of the reticle provide fast and easy elevation and windage holds
