I was never an exceptional marksman, but after installing the Nightforce scope on my LWRC R.E.P.R 20, I've become a proficient shooter like Carlos Hathcock. The clarity and light transmission of this scope, especially in low light conditions, is unparalleled. Although the cost may require you to take out a second mortgage, it's worth every penny when the time comes to defend yourself against zombies at the effective range of your firearm. Despite the high cost, I highly recommend this scope to anyone who is serious about shooting, whether they are a civilian or a professional operator.

The clarity of this scope is exceptional, living up to the standards set by Nightforce. I previously used the older version on my 308, but this new model has been mounted on my 300WM and zeroed in quickly. So far, it has performed flawlessly through the first 107 rounds at distances ranging from 100 to 1000 yards. With options such as MOA, MIL dot, and MILR, anyone can find the right fit for their shooting style. I personally prefer the MOA for its versatility and the ease of using multiple holdovers. This scope is truly a fantastic, albeit costly, tool that I can customize to my own preferences. Thank you for creating such a wonderful product.

The clarity of this scope is outstanding, even at extreme distances. It has transformed my Remington 700 into a formidable weapon. Its accuracy is simply incredible. The zero stop feature is a useful tool and the scope is built to withstand rugged use. The reticle is easily visible in all lighting conditions, be it bright, low or no light. If you're serious about your firearm and have the funds, this scope is a must-have for your build.

The Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x56 Rifle Scope is a top-of-the-line option for shooters looking for a high-performance, versatile, and durable scope. This scope is designed to meet the demands of military, law enforcement, and civilian tactical shooters. The 5.5-22x magnification range offers shooters the flexibility to engage targets at close and long distances, while the 56mm objective lens provides a wide field of view and excellent light transmission. The Nightforce NXS is also equipped with a first focal plane reticle, which allows the reticle to maintain its size relative to the target as you zoom in and out, making it easier to make quick, accurate shots. The Nightforce NXS is built to withstand the rigors of combat, with a rugged, aircraft-grade aluminum construction and a hard-anodized finish that is resistant to scratches and corrosion. The scope is also shockproof, waterproof, and fog proof, making it ideal for use in challenging conditions. The Nightforce NXS also features a zero stop elevation turret, which allows you to quickly and easily make elevation adjustments without losing your place in the rotation. The scope also features a parallax adjustment, which helps to eliminate parallax error and ensures that your shots are accurate and on target. In conclusion, the Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x56mm Tactical Rifle Scope is a top-notch option for shooters looking for a reliable and high-performance scope. With its flexible magnification range, rugged construction, and advanced features, this scope is sure to deliver the accuracy and versatility that you need to succeed on the range or in the field.

I purchased my Nightforce about two years ago now and have used and abused it. As for target use, it tracks perfectly passed box test with flying colors, and always returned to a perfect zero. Light transmission and clarity are top-notch. I killed a buck this year at 591 yards at first light in the back of a dark canyon. I was able to easily make out the buck's vitals for a clean kill. This scope has been in the rain and cold, and never has it fogged up on me. Couldn't be happier I will buy more.

I don't know why some of you want to write a review before trying the product out before expressing your opinion. Also, a bunch of you give you a "STAR" rating based on the place of purchase customer service or salesperson, etc. The review should be for the product purchased only! When we want to know a user's point of view about a product, we read reviews. I glean the reviews of actual users, not idiots that want to see their name and article in print! I can't stand to read a review from someone that has just received the product and opened the box until they have used it for its original intent. Anyone can look at the item either in a store, on YouTube, or the internet. I want to know how well it does it's a job and the pros and cons of it. That's what this type of column is for. I own 3 NXS with NP-1 and NP-2 reticles. The NP-2 is in the 56mm, and the others are in 50mm. I can't ascertain any difference in light between the 56mm and the 50mm, although I'm sure a piece of scientific equipment can. I have Swarovski, Leica, Leupold and Nikon scopes as well and feel the NightForce is the best scope you can buy for long-range shooting, sans none!

I have this mounted on a Savage 110BA in 338 Lapua and have taken shots out to a mile. This scope is very pricey, but the optical quality and zero stop turrets are fantastic. It returns to zero every time. I have used Leopold Mark IV's in the past and thought I would never switch from them, but these, in my opinion, are better.

I talked with Nightforce's Customer Service several times before purchasing this scope, and they were always very helpful and never in a rush to get to their next call. Everything about this scope is top-notch: optics are crystal-clear, turrets are precise and linear, zero-stop returns to identical place every time, mounting is easy and solid (using the Nightforce Unimount), and the scope's construction is stout (and because this its a bit heavy). The MOAR reticle is very flexible with its hold-over, hold-under, and windage scales - all without getting in the way of the target. Yes it's pricy, but you do get what you pay for. My only regret is that I didn't get exactly this same scope but in 8-32x56 or even 12-42x56. The 'problem' with a scope like this is that it allows you to shoot so much further!

It is obvious that this scope is well made and the optics are top quality. My son used this scope on a 308 this season to "Thread a needle" and take a nice South Texas 8pt. Completely satisfied and will buy other Nightforce scopes in the future.

This is truly the most remarkable scope that I have ever had the pleasure of using. The optics are crystal clear in low light conditions. The ZERO STOP function is another amazing plus for a tactical scope. You can go from long-range back to zero or one hundred yards without any guesswork. This scope is mounted on a BARRETT M99 416. It definitely withstands the recoil. One thousand-yard shots are no problem with this beauty. I am looking forward to the purchase of my next NIGHTFORCE SCOPE. I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a top-quality scope without paying five to six thousand for one.

I use the Nightforce NXS on an AR platform 6.5 Grendel 24" barrel. If you can afford it, buy it, this is one sweet optic for any long-range distance shooting. Clarity is superb. Mine has the mlr reticle. This scope puts you right on target.

The Nightforce NXS 5.5-22×56 scope is excellent. Very rugged, knobs have a very, very good feel. Exudes an aura of quality throughout. Glass is some of the best. I can read a car license plate at 500 yards! Really super cool lit reticle. Zero stop is terrific. You always know where your zero is! Hi, Speed turrets allow 20 MOA per revolution. The scope has a generous 100 MOA of elevation adjustment. Criticisms? There is still some room for improvement. The scope is heavy, but this is because it is built rugged. The adjustment for the reticle light is inside, under the battery. The reticle light could go off automatically after an hour or so? (Hey why not this is the 21st century after all). The entire scope eyepiece turns when you adjust the magnification. All of these are nitpicking by me I know! My Nightforce scope is one of the best scopes in the world and is near the pinnacle of technological achievement. Way to go Nightforce and keep up the good work!
