NightForce NX8 Rifle Scope, 2.5-20x50mm, 30mm Tube, First Focal Plane
I really like this scope. I think it would be even better if only the center + was iluminated. For me, if its dark enough to need the ilumination, it is so much light, even on lowest power, that it washes out the target.

The glass on the scope and the magnification is amazing so clear I can see exactly where my shots hit I couldn’t be happier with the scope great, scope great place explained is great. I also got it in the color. I wanted with the amount as well. We’ll definitely be here again.

Bought this for my Sig Cross. Has been great scope. Had my kids hitting stationary clay targets at 200 yards the first time they shot. I would buy another scope from NF next time I needed one. Hope this helps.

This is a solid scope as you’d expect from Nightforce. I really like the Mil-C reticle with its clean view and the clarity of the glass overall is excellent. Looking forward to years of fun with this beauty l.

Very clear glass. Adjustments are sharp, precise and easy to see. I had an issue with the zero stop; perhaps I over tightened. Sent to nightforce and they fixed it for free. They want 4 in-lbs to tighten which is very light. I got a 4 in-lb torque driver to do this after I had the issue.
My only knock on the scope is that the reticle is very small at the 2.5x setting. The illumination of the reticle is not visible in the daylight so quickly finding center at low power takes longer.
Pros:
precise adjustment
Customer Support
clear & bright image
Cons:
zero stop fragile?
illuminated reticle not daylight usable
low power reticle hard to see
Would recommend: Yes
