Nightforce has an entirely new scope family! The NX6 series adds several new magnification options, ranging from LPVO options, to high-magnification precision scopes. Let’s break down the whole family.

Shared Features
Nightforce has a new turret system on the NX6 series. The FieldSet turrets allow both the dial and zero stop to reset using only a simple field expedient item like a coin. First focal plane models include exposed turrets, while second focal options include capped turrets. However, users are not stuck with one configuration. The turrets are interchangeable, and the capped turrets can be changed over to exposed turrets or swapped for BDC turrets.
All models include illuminated reticles. The 1-6×24 LPVO has a daylight-visible reticle, and the rest of the series has the Digilum system that many users are familiar with from other Nightforce scopes. Extended throw levers are standard on the magnification adjustment.
