What Is the Nightforce NX6™ Line?

The NX6™ riflescope family spans a wide range of magnifications, from true 1× low-power optics to high-magnification precision scopes, while maintaining streamlined form factors and manageable weights.

Nightforce specifically tailored NX6 optical performance for:
