Nightforce NXS
For those getting started in the Precision Rifle Series (PRS), the Nightforce NXS 8-32x56mm scope is an excellent option. Designed for precision, this scope features a versatile magnification range that ensures no target is beyond reach. The ZeroStop elevation technology allows for quick returns to zero, while the broad 8-32x magnification provides versatility for various applications. The MOAR-T reticle with .0625 MOA lines facilitates accurate range finding and holdover estimation. Constructed from durable aircraft-grade aluminum, this scope is built to withstand tough conditions. The second focal plane design ensures that the reticle maintains size relative to the target as you zoom in or out, and the illumination enhances visibility during low-light situations. With its advanced optics, the NXS delivers bright images and reliable performance in any environment.
