Nightforce NX8 2.5-20x50mm Ultra-Compact Hunting Scope | F2 Illuminated MoAR-CF2

Overview: Nightforce NX8 2.5-20x50mm

The Nightforce NX8 2.5-20x50mm embodies a compact yet capable optic designed for versatile field use. With an 8X zoom range and a 50mm objective, it balances reach and brightness, enabling confident shooting from dawn to dusk. Its lightweight profile fits a variety of hunting setups, from tree stands to open terrain, without compromising durability or performance.

Precision you can rely on in the field

The scope features a ZeroStop elevation adjustment, allowing you to return to zero quickly after dialing for longer-range shots. Once zero is established, you can set the ZeroStop to zero, reinforcing repeatability and consistency when every shot counts.

The 50mm objective is designed to maximize resolution and light transmission, helping you maintain a crisp sight picture across changing light. Parallax adjustment reaches as close as 11 yards, letting you focus precisely on near targets. An optional Power Throw Lever (PTL) enables rapid magnification changes and provides a visual cue for the current setting.
