Exceptionally Fast and Precise Daylight Visible Illumination
Lavonia, GA, U.S. – (January 22, 2018) – (ArmsVault.com) – Nightforce® Optics, leading manufacturer and marketer of premium sport optics and related products including riflescopes, spotting scopes, and accessories, announces the introduction of three, innovative first focal plane reticles optimized for low-power variable riflescopes. The FC-MOA and FC-MIL reticles are featured on the newly released Nightforce NX8 1-8×24 F1 riflescope, while the FC-DM outfits the newest addition to the ATACR™ family of riflescopes, the ATACR 1-8×24 F1.
“Meeting the needs of today’s most discriminating carbine shooters, the latest reticle designs are ideal for most any shooting application ranging from close quarters engagement, to hunting, competition, and even general shooting,” said Gordon Myers, Nightforce Director of Sales and Marketing. “Regardless of the environment you find yourself in, the daylight visible illuminated center aiming area encourages fast target acquisition,” he said.
