Precision Refined: Understanding the Nightforce ATACR & NX8 Riflescopes
When your shooting demands clarity, consistency, and rugged dependability, few optics command more respect than Nightforce. At Mile High Shooting Accessories, we proudly carry the full range of Nightforce riflescopes, trusted by military, law enforcement, and competitive shooters worldwide. Two standout lines—ATACR and NX8—offer advanced features tailored to different long-range shooting needs. Here’s what sets them apart and why they’re among our top recommendations.
Nightforce ATACR: Elite Optical Performance for Extreme Precision
The ATACR line (Advanced Tactical Riflescope) is designed for shooters who push the limits—whether in tactical environments or precision ELR competition. Featuring large objective lenses (up to 56mm), ED glass, and high magnification options, ATACR scopes deliver exceptional clarity and low-light performance. Models like the ATACR 4-16x50 F2 MOAR offer the legendary ZeroStop system, illuminated reticles, and rugged construction that hold true in the harshest conditions.
Nightforce NX8: Compact, Lightweight, and Combat-Ready
Built with performance and versatility in mind, the NX8 line is ideal for shooters needing a smaller footprint without sacrificing power. With first focal plane options and magnification ranges from 1-8x up to 4-32x, NX8 scopes are perfect for everything from DMR builds to long-range precision rifles. For example, the NX8 1-8x24 F1 FC-DMx in Dark Earth brings fast target acquisition and premium construction in a compact, low-profile optic.
Need more reach? The NX8 2.5-20x50 F1 Mil-XT bridges the gap with longer-range capability while staying relatively compact—ideal for hunters, tactical shooters, and competitors alike.
