Just ahead of the NRA Show this weekend comes news out of Georgia from Nightforce that they’re expanding their well-respected NXS compact line. Already offering a 2.5-10×32 scope, they’ve upped the ante by adding a 42mm front optic. Which should make seeing those early rising deer or happy hour rutting feral hogs that much easier to spot in low light conditions. Here are the details . . .
The latest addition to the extremely popular line of Nightforce NXS™ Compact riflescopes is the new 2.5-10 x 42, incorporating many features unique to the optics industry.
For many years, the Nightforce 2.5-10 x 32 NXS™ Compact—proven in the hands of the U.S. military—has been renowned for performance far beyond its size. With its larger objective lens, the new Nightforce 2.5-10 x 42 NXS™ Compact is even more effective in low light, without compromising its light weight (19 oz.–20.5 oz.) and efficient size (11.9 inches in length).
The 2.5-10 x 42 is one of the only 10x riflescopes on the market to include side parallax adjustment, adjustable from 25 yards to infinity. It incorporates Nightforce DigIllum™ digital reticle illumination technology, offering red or green settings in multiple intensities from very dim to extremely bright. DigIllum™ also includes settings specifically for use with night vision equipment.
The Nightforce PTL™ is standard, allowing instant magnification changes even while wearing gloves. Six different reticles are available, including the new IHR™ (International Hunting Reticle). The 2.5-10 x 42 is offered with .250 MOA Hi-Speed™ or .1 Mil-Radian adjustments exposed target-style configurations, or with capped, enclosed adjustments in .250 MOA only.
The 2.5-10 x 42 NXS™ Compact proves that size is no substitute for quality, providing performance that exceeds most riflescopes of any size. Its low mounting profile, versatile magnification range and streamlined proportions make it ideal for a mountain or safari rifle, and Nightforce Compacts are extremely popular for the various AR platforms.
The Nightforce 2.5-10 x 42 NXS™ Compact has a MSRP starting at $1,800. For more information, visit www.NightforceOptics.com or call 208.476.9814.
Christie will throw NJ under the bus, which is kind of funny because whereas the bus will run right over NJ, it would have a hard time running over Christie :).
Wouldn’t surprise me if anti-rights senators suffered no popular backlash at all. After all, we’re talking about a public that voted Obama in a second term.
While I mean absoloutley no offense to AK owners and someday would like to be one but wouldnt it be better for magpul to focus on their current backorder before introducing another product? Not trying to pick a fight or start an argument I just dont see how this is a good time for them to do this.
Plenty of AK owners might respectfully digress 🙂
Even though on the surface it might seem an odd time to do it I’m sure Magpul has had this introduction in the works long before the bullcrap started in Colorado and they might as well use the machinery and sell them to help pay for the tooling.
Oh, and shooter to shooter – jump at an AK. Mine has been one of the funnest (don’t know if that’s a word) rifles I’ve ever shot. WASR’s are hit or miss but if you find a MAK-90 go for it.
My state doesn’t allow SBRs, so this or something like it would be our only option.
And what’s wrong with holding the “pistol” with both hands?
On suggestion from one of my folks I got Nightforce NXS 2.5-10×32. A little deterred initially owing to the price tag but I will have to give it to Nightforce Optics for this superb device.
i missed the bull elk of a lifetime last year, thousands on travel, tags, time off etc.
reason, I fell on a rock the day before, and didn’t know my zeiss had an internal spring break.
If you hunt in extreme environments, nightforce is worth the cost for the reliability. period.
if you hunt from a tree stand or flat woods, agreed. you’re wasting your money.
Τhеre is certainly a grea deal to know about this issue.
I really like alⅼ the points you made.
