Back in 1992, Australian hunter and shooter Dr. Ray Dennis had a problem.

You see, hunting at night in Australia is not only legal, but wildly popular. Several years earlier, Ray had founded Lightforce Australia Pty. Ltd., for the purpose of manufacturing the finest spotlights on the planet. Ray’s lights lit up the night for hunting vehicles and vastly improved a hunter’s ability to find and spot targets in the darkness.

Trouble was, there was no riflescope on the market of sufficient quality to take advantage of Ray’s superb lights. So he set out to build his own.

The principles he followed then have remained unchanged over two decades—to gather the finest materials, utilize the most advanced technology and talent, cut no corners whatsoever, and build what is simply the most rugged, most precise, most uncompromising riflescope money can buy.

Judging by the growth of the company he founded, he succeeded beyond his wildest dreams.

Today, Nightforce riflescopes are used by professional and competition shooters, avid hunters and our armed forces under incredibly demanding conditions in every corner of the globe.

As good as our scopes might be, we also recognize that the satisfaction of you, our customer, is what ultimately matters most. You will find that philosophy paramount in our service, our support, and the way we do business.

No doubt, many things will change in the next 20 years.

Those things won’t.

The new Nightforce MOAR™ reticle is a major advancement in precision shooting. A floating center crosshair two MOA wide and two MOA tall provides a precise aiming point—especially on smaller targets at longer ranges. One-MOA elevation and windage spacings provide for more accurate rangefinding and hold-offs compared to ordinary reticles with coarser markings.

The Nightforce MOAR™ has thicker line subtensions than our traditional reticles, marked with 10, 20 and 30 MOA elevation indicators (10 and 20 MOA windage indicators), making it extremely fast and easy to view under field conditions.

The MOAR™ reticle will be offered in Nightforce 3.5-15x, 5.5-22x and 8-32x NXS models in early- to mid-2012.

Twenty years. A lot has changed. A lot hasn’t. An investment in our future. And yours.

In 2011, Nightforce embarked on a $1 million expansion of our headquarters in Orofino, Idaho. Scheduled for completion in early 2012, it will mean faster delivery times and more R&D capabilities which will result in a number of innovative new products, and even better customer service.

A good reason to watch TV.

Nightforce partners with many of the top sportsmen and women in the hunting and shooting industry, and you’ll see us more and more on television as

they put Nightforce products through their paces in real-world environments. Tune in!

The MOAR™ design is more intuitive, easier to see in low light and more visible against dark backgrounds and in shadows than other MOA reticles. Shooters will also find the 3, 6 and 9 o’clock posts to be an excellent asset for greater speed and target acquisition.

The detail provided by the MOAR™ makes it ideal for field tactical applications, long-range hunting and varmint shooting. It is an evolution from our best-selling NP-R1 reticle, and has established new levels of precision and ease of use for the long-range shooter.

Greg Stube, of “Coming Home with Greg Stube” on the Sportsman Channel, says

“Nightforce served me well in the Special Forces…in fact, they saved my life several

times. Why would I trust anything else now that I’m home enjoying the very

freedoms they helped me defend?”

MOAR™ reticles in 3.5-15x NXS models have a 30 MOA scale below center, as shown here. MOAR™ reticles in Nightforce 5.5-22x and 8-32x NXS models have a 20 MOA scale below centerline.

Every lens in a Nightforce scope is perfectly matched and aligned by hand with all other lens elements. This technique, called optical indexing, yields the highest possible optical performance. Because it takes time and considerable expertise, many manufacturers don't bother. We've done it this way since the beginning.

A scope’s objective lens determines resolution, light

transmission and exit pupil size. To maximize these attributes, every

Nightforce objective lens assembly utilizes a multi-element design like

those found in the highest quality telescopes. Our lens system

focuses light rays more precisely for exceptional image clarity and

color accuracy.

All air-to-glass surfaces receive our proprietary

broadband multi-coating; applied to tolerances of 1/4 wave deposition or .000005

inches, exceeding the toughest Mil-Spec abrasion test. You will

see the difference in low- light situations.

Glass-etched illuminated reticles are standard with every Nightforce scope.

Sand, dust, mud, heat and cold are a few of the environmental challenges every Nightforce riflescope faces in its development. Every aspect is thoroughly tested, proven, and tested again before we build a final product. Anything you can inflict upon a scope, you can be certain we’ve already done it first.

Nightforce tubes are machined from solid bar stock 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum alloy, not extruded or formed like those found on lesser scopes. They are two to three times thicker than other riflescopes. This means less overall stress, greater thermal stability, a consistent zero and a virtually impervious shield for the precision optics within.

Lenses are painstakingly bedded with our own proprietary Mil-Spec formulation. Unlike methods used by most other scope manufacturers, with our bedding process there is no glass-to-metal contact that can result in breakage, stress or misalignment over time. Our process is 100% permanent, guaranteeing perfect optical alignment for as long as you own your Nightforce riflescope.

Adjustments are made with hardened silicon bronze to ensure a lifetime of wear resistance and reliable performance. This is not the easiest way to build a scope. It is, however, the best way to build a riflescope…providing a lifetime of repeatable accuracy.

The optical elements within an NXS riflescope are hand-bedded with our own proprietary Mil-Spec bonding agent, then cured at 160o F for 24 hours. Lenses are further secured with o-rings and machined metal lock rings, both fore and aft. This zero-tolerance lens securing method prevents any movement of

the optical elements in any direction, under any circumstance. This permanent bonding assures a lifetime of uncompromising performance and reliability, confirmed with front and side impact testing on every scope we build.

The spring that maintains pressure on our elevation and windage adjustments spends two weeks in a polishing tumbler before going into a Nightforce riflescope, to assure there are no rough spots or burrs to interfere with perfectly smooth operation. It is made of pure titanium, the only known metal in the world that can be repeatedly compressed and held in place, even for years, without developing fatigue or “memory.” This guarantees zero loss of integrity, zero loss of repeatability. It is many times more expensive than comparable springs found in most scopes. But, we are not concerned with a few dollars. We are concerned with building the best riflescope.

We machine the screw that controls elevation adjustments to an unbelievable 110 threads per inch. It is so precise that it must be mated to its receiver by hand. Why go to so much trouble? Because we consider backlash clearance of more than 1/30 the thickness of a human hair unacceptable.

The terms “rugged” and “precision optics” are usually not compatible. Any optical instrument built to highly exacting tolerances and absolute alignment is by its very nature a delicate device.

Not so with Nightforce. The design of our scopes is unique within the industry, allowing us to combine optics of extraordinary precision with construction that will withstand repeated recoil from the largest calibers, extreme shock and severe temperature changes.

That’s a strong claim, without a doubt.

But, it’s a claim we can prove. And our customers do prove it…every day, under some of the harshest, most unforgiving conditions on earth.

We didn’t start building scopes and expect people to find uses for them. Instead, we looked at real-world needs…needs that were not being met by other optics manufacturers. Created from the ground up, Nightforce designed the ultimate precision instrument for the intended application.

You can tell the difference the moment you pick one up. If you could look inside a Nightforce scope, the differences would be even more obvious.

Fortunately, looking through one will tell you just about everything you need to know.

You cannot buy a higher quality riflescope.

A hand-signed Quality Assurance tag means your Nightforce has been thoroughly tested and approved.

Hi-Speed elevation and windage adjustments are standard on all Nightforce NXS riflescopes (except 2.5-10 x 32 NXS models).

The hole you see in the well-used Nightforce 3.5-15 x 50 NXS riflescope at

right was made by an enemy 7.62x39 round fired at a U.S. soldier. The bullet

completely penetrated the erector tube—the heart of the scope's optical

system. We’re happy to report that the soldier was not injured, and the only

casualty is the riflescope's magnification ring, frozen on 15x. Its focus, tracking,

and all other functions work just fine. It holds point of aim like new.

The soldier wrapped the riflescope in duct tape to keep out sand and dirt, and

used it without a problem for the next three days, completing his mission.

We receive many stories like this. Because Nightforce riflescopes are

used in active theatres by most of the elite special forces worldwide, they are

subjected to—and survive—the most brutal conditions imaginable.

We won't say they're bulletproof. There is at least one soldier, however,

who would argue otherwise.

Originally developed for use on military small arms, the 3.5-15 x 50 NXS allows for a lower mounting profile. The 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 both 3.5-15 models extremely versatile in the field and applicable to a wide range of applications.

Our riflescopes are subjected to abuse during product development that would quickly destroy lesser optics. Pre-production riflescopes are tested in a pressure tank simulating 100 feet of water for 24 hours, ensuring absolute waterproof integrity. We test thermal stability by freezing them to -80o F, then heating them to 200o F within a one-hour period. Function is checked at both temperature extremes. Recoil and impact testing for positive and negative forces is conducted at 1,250 Gs.

Before it is shipped to a customer, every riflescope is completely inspected and checked at 70 to 130 different points, depending on the model. We perform a battery of tests, including forward impact, side impact, tracking accuracy and resolution integrity. These are but a few of the steps we take to ensure absolute quality before any riflescope leaves our facility.

Whatever you think you might do to your riflescope, chances are we’ve already done it.

Our 3.5-15 x 50 is also offered as the F1, with a reticle in the first focal plane. See page 24 for more information.

When is “long range” too long? Because high-magnification Nightforce riflescopes were originally designed for highly trained professional sharpshooters, they are capable of remarkable accuracy at extreme distances. For the hunter, this means that killing shots at game previously “out of range” are now possible…but only if the hunter is intimately familiar with his rifle, his loads, rangefinding techniques, and after extensive practice. Nightforce riflescopes will put extreme long- range capability in the hunter’s hands. It is up to the hunter to use this capability wisely and ethically.

5.5-22 x 56 NXSThe ultimate long range riflescope. 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.

Originally developed for the U.S. military’s extreme long range shooting and hard target interdiction, both 5.5-22 Nightforce NXS models provide a broad magnification range, four inches of eye relief and 100 moa of elevation travel. These characteristics, combined with the extreme ruggedness and reliability of every Nightforce riflescope, make them ideal for even the largest calibers. The slim profile of the 5.5-22 x 50 NXS makes it easily adaptable to a wide range of mounting systems. Its superb resolution at high magnification opens an entirely new world of extended range shooting for the accomplished marksman; Nightforce shooters are now accurately reaching to 2000 yards and beyond.

“I purchased a Nightforce 5.5-22 x 56 in 2001. I used it to put 12,500 shots through two .50 BMGs. I fired another 4000 shots with it on an AR10. Then, I mounted it on a 14.5/114mm Russian (570 gr. of powder propelling a 1000 gr. bullet at 3300 fps) and fired 970 rounds. Most scopes break within one to ten shots on the Russian…not the Nightforce. Then I used it for another 47 rounds through a 25mm Hotchkiss, 3000 through a Barrett M90, and 6000 rounds from a Savage M250.

It might come as a shock to the shooter who has just invested a small fortune in a fine rifle, but the fact is that a Nightforce riflescope is built to tolerances vastly more precise than those found in the best rifles money can buy.

Why? Because even the slightest error in a riflescope's construction will be magnified dramatically as range and power settings increase; and evident in a constantly shifting zero and frustrating lack of repeatability.

SGT Brandon Green, winner of the 2008 and 2007 Wimbledon Cup national championships as part of the USAMU Service Rifle Team. He also set a new match record in Long Range AGG, took first in 1000 yard Division B, and second in 600 yard Division B at the 2008 Interservice Highpower Championships, all with Nightforce.

We put our heart and soul into building the ultimate optical instruments, and we’re extremely proud of the long-standing commitment of competitors like Sgt. Green to Nightforce. After all, we’re shooters, too. And we like to win as much as anyone does.

Quite simply, to achieve the absolute maximum accuracy from your rifle, your scope must be as close to perfect as possible.

Less precise riflescopes can—and will—fail to match the potential of a well-made firearm. With Nightforce, whatever your rifle is capable of, your riflescope will more than measure up.

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 riflescopes. 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.

Dangerous game Military and law enforcement CQB applications Tactical competition

1-4 x 24 NXSIf hunting big, dangerous game is your passion, there is no

better scope on the market to keep the odds in your favor. The true one power of this low-profile scope makes it as quick as open sights and vastly more precise. With a 100-foot field of

view at 100 yards, target identification and acquisition is instant. Ideal for hunting dangerous game at close quarters, especially with large magnum calibers, these same characteristics make

the 1-4 x 24 NXS to excel in CQB environments and tactical competitions. In all these situations, one fast and

accurate shot makes all the difference. The 1-4 x 24 NXS will

deliver.

Nightforce compact NXS models prove that a riflescope needn’t be large and bulky to be highly efficient. Not that building a small scope offering high performance is easy. Like a fine watch, tolerances, materials, and optical design must be as close to absolute perfection as humanly possible. Few companies have the skill, the resources, and the desire to create such a precision instrument. Our compacts were originally designed for—and are still in use by—the U.S. Special Operations community, whose demands are uncompromising. When you hunt with a Nightforce compact, you won’t be making any compromises, either. All you’ll be giving up is bulk, weight, and inconvenience.

Nightforce compacts are available with two types of adjustments:

1. Fully enclosed with caps (shown with caps removed at left; caps installed on 1-4 x 24 at right). Windage and elevation controls are easily adjusted with fingertips.

2. Exposed tactical-style adjustments are standard with Nightforce ZeroStop™ and windage limiter technology. With the ZeroStop™, after sighting in your rifle you can lock your zero to any one of the 400 elevation clicks, then return instantly to absolute zero by feel, regardless of how many elevation adjustments you have made. Your choice depends upon the type of shooting you do and whether or not you need instant access to all adjustments. Other adjustment configurations are also available.

Why are there so few riflescopes on the market offering variable magnification beginning at a true one power? It

is extremely difficult to build a true 1x variable riflescope while maintaining absolute optical integrity and alignment throughout the entire magnification range. For the hunter,

having the option of one power—zero magnification—makes our 1-4 x 24 NXS the only true substitute for open sights on a

dangerous game rifle. For the military/LE professional, it can be a lifesaver in CQB situations (especially with our FC-2 reticle). A

Another year, another world record with Nightforce

Every year since 2003, Leo Anderson has added more and more titles to his collection of 1000-yard world records. 2011 has been no different, with his

new 1000-yard world records for the 17 lb. class, six-match Aggregate and ten-match Aggregate.

Leo said, “to shoot the best you have to shoot the best equipment. That’s why I shoot Nightforce.

Customer service is excellent…Nightforce is a great company to deal with.”

Since 1992, Nightforce riflescopes have won more records in long-range benchrest competition—including several world records in .50 B.M.G. 1000 yard benchrest— than any other scope on the market. Both Precision Benchrest models include an externally adjustable illuminated reticle, true .125 moa click values and a broad range of internal adjustment.

These are not “dual-purpose” or hunting scopes with a different name. Each was designed and built from the ground up to answer the specific demands of the long-range benchrest shooter.

2006 World Record

Cody Finch produced a new 1000-yard world record for group (Light Gun Class) in 2006, placing 10 shots in 3.835" with his Nightforce 12-42 x 56. “I honestly think it's the best scope out there,” he said. “If you want to win at this game, you'd better use a Nightforce.”

In 2008 he won the U.S. F-Class Nationals, the NC State F-Class Championship, the NRA Long Range Regional Championships (F-Class Open Div.), and set a world record 200-13x at 1000 yards. In 2007, 600- and 1000-yard national records. “My 12x42 Nightforce played a huge part,” Charles said. “The 1/8 moa adjustment and high magnification are must on the new reduced F-Class targets. Nightforce scopes have flawless tracking, lash-free parallax adjustment, superior resolution and unequalled light transmission. Combined with the unobstructed view of the NP-2DD reticle, and you have the finest F-Class riflescope available.”

The finest riflescope in the world is only as good as its mounts. That’s why we recommend Nightforce rings and bases to make certain you’re getting every bit of performance from your Nightforce riflescope.

Our bases are CNC machined from a single billet of steel. They are precision machined to match the receiver contour, ensuring straight and true alignment. This also reduces the amount of internal adjustment required when zeroing your rifle. All Nightforce rings and bases exceed military design specifications. They are tough, reliable, utterly precise, and are the perfect match for your Nightforce riflescope.

Available in six heights: .885 1.00 1.1251.265 1.3751.50

Nightforce one-piece steel bases

An integral recoil lug machined on the bottom of the base (Rem 700 and HS700) provides a precise fit when bedded to rifle actions, preventing any movement of the base or recoil stress on screws holding the base to the receiver.

Our one-piece bases are machined to exact Mil. Std. 1913 specification rail dimensions. This design allows the same scope to be used on several different rifles, always optimizing eye relief. A 20 Minute of Angle (moa) taper is standard, with a 40 moa taper offered for Remington 700 bases. Designed for right-or left-hand actions, our bases will never interfere with loading or extraction.

Nightforce two-piece tapered steel bases

Also made to Mil. Std. 1913 specifications, our two-piece bases are machined with a 20 moa taper and finished with a matte black mil-spec coating. Allows mounting of scope to retain the maximum amount of internal elevation adjustment. This will allow you to shoot further and still maintain a 100 yard or less zero.

Nightforce gunsmith bases (steel or aluminum alloy)

These Mil. Std. 1913 base blanks allow you to customize the length, height, radius and hole spacing to your specific application. Standard taper is 20 Minutes of Angle (20 moa).

Nightforce steel rings

Designed to fit Mil. Std. 1913 scope bases, we machine a

load-bearing recoil lug on the grade eight crossbolt. This lug

precisely matches the machined cross lug of the Nightforce base, providing perfect alignment and

superior accuracy.

We design and produce Nightforce 30mm rings in-house to our own exacting

specifications; we believe they are the highest quality rings

available on the market.

Unimount

The Nightforce Unimount is designed to remain on the scope at all times, allowing quick removal of the scope or interfacing with different firearms. It is the most accurate Mil. Std. 1913 mount available, incorporating a built-in 20 moa taper to maximize long-range capability. The Unimount is the ultimate

mount for attaching to weapons with an integral Mil. Std. 1913 flat top-type receiver.

Precise tolerances ensure that the riflescope is not subjected to stress, strain or bending as the ring screws are tightened. CNC machined from 7075-T6, the Unimount is finished with a matte black coating.

Direct Mount

This Nightforce system combines a high quality CNC machined 7075-T6 hard anodized aluminum base with an integrated ring design. Built to mount directly to your Remington 700 short or long actions, the 20 moa taper maximizes internal adjustment. The Direct Mount ensures true alignment and maximum strength for precision shooting. Like all Nightforce mounts, it incorporates an integral recoil lug which prevents any movement of the base or stress on the screws attaching the Direct Mount to the receiver. It is the ultimate in a weight-saving one-piece design.

Nightforce Angle Degree Indicator with Mount

The Nightforce Angle Degree Indicator takes the guesswork out of uphill and downhill shots. Calibrated in degrees, it gives you an instant readout which you can enter directly into the Nightforce ballistic software program on your pocket PC or use with a pre-printed angle drop chart. It is available in two versions: (1) a two-piece, low-profile Mil-Std. 1913 mount for one-piece bases that allows easy installation without removing the scope (shown below); and (2) as part of our top ring bubble level system (at left). It is simple, robust, and requires no batteries. Available in right-hand or left-hand rifle action configurations.

Ultralite rings Ultralite Unimount

When a tough, reliable mounting system is required without adding substantial weight, Nightforce Ultralite rings are the answer. They feature CNC machined 7075-T6 hard anodized black aluminum bodies and titanium beta series crossbolts and jaws. This unique construction provides exceptional strength, normally not found in lightweight rings. Testing has proven that this combination is actually stronger than steel.

Only 1/3 the weight of steel rings.

Top Ring Bubble Level/ADI

Replaces the top ring of our Unimount, Direct Mount and standard rings without a Mil. Std. 1913 base. Available with integral ADI mount or as top ring/bubble level only.

Online AccuRAcy:the velOcity™ Reticle cAlculAtOR.The unique online Nightforce Velocity™ Reticle Calculator was created to maximize the precision and effectiveness of Nightforce Velocity™ reticles. It will give you step-by-step instructions to establish your rifle’s individual ballistic profile and match it with the correct Velocity™ reticle and scope. It will then give you a recommended sight-in distance to optimize your trajectory from 100 to 600 or 100 to 1000 yards, depending upon the Velocity™ reticle you choose.

We’ve done all the legwork.

The calculator has an extensive built-in library of factory loads. Handloaders will find a complete database of the most popular bullet brands and styles. Just pick your bullet, enter your muzzle velocity and click.

You can even enter atmospheric conditions specific to your area if you wish, or simply select our default conditions to get started.

The ultimate accuracy tool.

The Velocity™ Reticle Calculator instantly shows you standard deviation from a Velocity™ reticle’s markings at all ranges in 100-yard increments. We’ll make recommendations based upon our standard of less than .50 MOA deviation at any range you choose.

We’ve made long-range shooting a simpler science.

Imagine going on a hunt knowing you’ll never have to guess at how much to hold over. Imagine having the confidence to shoot consistently and accurately, whatever your target, to within one-half MOA, even at extreme ranges.

Nightforce Velocity™ reticles, in conjunction with our online calculator, make it a reality. If you’re confident of the distance to your target, if you’ve practiced thoroughly during the off season, and if you’ve done your homework with us—consistent long-range accuracy is at your fingertips.

The best of both worlds.

Professional, military and competition shooters have long appreciated the precision made possible by sophisticated ballistic reticles, especially at extreme ranges. But, for the hunter—or for any shooter for whom time is of the essence—traditional ballistic reticle designs are often too complicated, cumbersome, cluttered and slow for effective use in the field.

Not any more.

Fast, foolproof and uncomplicated.

Our Velocity™ reticles solve the basic problems that have historically plagued the hunter when presented with a long shot. Now, there’s no guessing. No difficult calculations. No estimating holdover. No counting elevation adjustments. Once you’ve determined the range to your target, simply choose the appropriate elevation/windage mark and hold dead on. They’re up to twice as fast as ordinary ballistic reticles.

Tailored for your rifle and your load.

Some manufacturers tout “one-size-fits-all” ballistic reticle designs that require you to dial down your magnification (not a good idea when shooting at longer ranges), in an attempt to match their reticle’s configuration to your rifle…hardly a recipe for speed or precision.

Our Velocity™ reticles are offered in several configurations based upon the muzzle velocity and caliber of your rifle. Virtually every modern rifle cartridge will mesh perfectly with one of our Velocity™ series, with minimal point- of-impact deviation.

On our website you’ll find an online calculator in which you enter your chosen load’s details. It instantly tells you which Velocity™ reticle is appropriate for your rifle, and provides an optimum sight-in distance to maximize your bullet’s trajectory. Sight in your rifle according to these recommendations, and you won’t have to worry about guessing at holdovers again.

Two versions, one result: Accuracy.

Nightforce Velocity™ reticles are offered in two basic styles: with 600-yard calibrations for our 2.5-10 x 32 NXS Compact scopes, and with 1000-yard calibrations for our 3.5-15x and 5.5-22x NXS scopes. Like other Nightforce reticles, illumination is standard. In addition to holdover markings, windage compensation in 5 and 10 mph increments (up to 15 mph on the 1000-yard version) are clearly indicated.

Visit www.nightforceoptics.com for detailed information and tutorials.

Simply select from the ballistic menu options, enter your muzzle velocity, and click to see the best Velocity™ reticle match.

Results are instantly matched to your rifle’s ballistic profile. It will outline recommended scope/reticle combinations, suggested sight-in distance, and standard deviation in 100-yard increments.

Detailed information and tutorials on Nightforce products, including our Velocity™ reticles, can be found at www.nightforceoptics.com.

Nightforce Velocity™ reticles are the ultimate combination of ballistic and hunting reticles. They allow precise shot placement at long ranges with accurate holdovers, in a clean, uncluttered design that won’t interfere with quick target acquisition and close-in shots under stress.

ReticlesNightforce offers a wide range of sophisticated reticles that maximize the effectiveness of our riflescopes. While many scope companies treat reticles as an afterthought, each Nightforce reticle is designed for ultimate performance within specific applications. This is the only way to acheive the highest degree of repeatable, predictable accuracy possible…making your choice of reticle almost as important as your choice of riflescope.

Illumination is standard on all Nightforce reticles.

Nightforce NXS parallax adjustment and reticle illumination control is located on the left side of the scope. Pulling out the adjustment activates reticle illumination, while turning the adjustment alone adjusts parallax. It is a patented system only from Nightforce. On fixed-parallax Nightforce NXS scopes, the left-side adjustment controls illumination only.

MIL-DOTField tactical

“After researching several scope brands, I purchased a Nightforce 12-42 in 1997… I can honestly say Nightforce is in a league of its own. My first Nightforce scope had its 12th birthday this year [2009] and was instrumental in helping me achieve a new World Record.” —Joel Pendergraft

Good as gold

Using Nightforce 12-42 x 56 NXS scopes, Team Savage won the 2010 National Championships Team Match, taking the 600 and 1000 yard phases, setting a new 1000 yard national record, and outscoring all nine competing F-TR teams. “The mirage was particularly fierce,” said Darrell Buell, Team USA captain. “The quality of our optics played a significant role in the win.”

Hail to the hero

“ I have used Nightforce exclusively for all of my F-Class shooting since 2001. I’ve used them to win a good number of gold medals in State, Regional, National and World Championships. Just this year [2011] my 12-42x allowed me to win the Creedmoor Match in Ireland and the U.S. Fullbore F-Class Nationals in Raton, NM by a good margin. I am asked quite often by new shooters, ‘What scope should I buy?’ My answer is always the same…Nightforce.” —Larry Bartholome, U.S. F-Class Open Rifle Team It takes a licking…

“I built preference points in Colorado for nearly a dozen years…I practiced diligently with my Christensen Custom rifle topped with my Nightforce Velocity™ 1000 yard reticle. Snow covered a lot of extremely slippery rocks…I slid down a steep bank smacking rifle and scope against several rocks as I grabbed for anything to save my life. The pistol grip on my stock was bashed in and there were several deep marks on the scope. I knew I would need to sight my gun back in. I took shots at 25, 100 and the recommended 210-yard sight-in range…I was amazed to see that the gun was still perfectly sighted in. Nine days later, I harvested a good buck at 375 yards with one shot. The Nightforce mounting system and scope itself must be about bulletproof.” —Michael Deming, President, Sportsman’s News

Darrell does it again

2011 was a good year for the U.S. F-T/R Team. Using the best equipment available, including Nightforce NXS scopes, the Combined Team won the new Creedmoor Cup in Ireland. Team Captain Darrell Buell won the Irish National Individual Championships (800, 900, 1000 yards). “My scope worked flawlessly, as usual,” Darrell said, “from ranges as short as 300 yards all the way out to 1233 yards.”

the niGhtFORce 3.5-15 x 50 F1.FiRst FOcAl plAne.

The U.S. military asked for a scope that is exceptionally fast and applicable to a wide range of targets at various distances.

The 3.5-15 x 50 F1 NXS is the answer. The reticle is located in the first focal plane, which has distinct advantages in high-stress situations and when the user might encounter targets from up-close to 1000 yards or more.

A first focal plane reticle remains in the same visual proportion to the target across the scope’s entire magnification range, making it especially appropriate with rangefinding reticles. Combined with Nightforce highly tactile and intuitive adjustments, it makes for a scope that is extremely quick, accurate, responsive and utterly reliable.

Several reticles are offered exclusively in the F1, each designed to maximize effectiveness of the first focal plane location.

Slippery slope, tough scope

“While deer hunting in a mountainous area of New York State, I slipped on black ice on the way to my stand in the dark. That morning I shot a 130-inch eight-point whitetail and a coyote. While gathering my equipment I noticed my riflestock was badly cracked and my scope and rings scuffed. Fortunately, my Nightforce scope was totally unaffected by the fall…point of aim was the point of impact. Thanks, Nightforce.” —Dean O’Hanlon, Chester, NY
