Description
The Nightforce NX8 2.5-20×50 F1 (part number C685) is a first focal plane (f1) riflescope with a 2.5-20x zoom range, 50 mm objective and 30 mm main tube, fitted with the MOAR F1 reticle and .250 MOA click adjustments. It weighs 28.3 oz (802 g) and is 12.0 in (305 mm) long, giving an 8:1 zoom ratio in a package short enough for compact hunting rifles and long-range gas guns alike. The MOAR F1 is a first-focal-plane MOA reticle with 1 MOA windage and elevation marks that stay true at every magnification. ZeroStop lets you return to zero by feel, DigIllum digital illumination gives a daylight-usable centre, and the Power Throw Lever (PTL) is fitted as standard. Finish: Dark Earth. Australian supply is through the Lightforce Australia group in Hindmarsh SA; 3 Gun Tactical in Tingalpa, Brisbane, can order any NX8 configuration.
