Features

  • HIGH-PERFORMANCE SCOPE - The exceptional resolving power of the Competition's ED glass, combined with lens coatings and uncompromising construction techniques perfected over more than 20 years, means that all of the Competition's magnification range produces outstanding clarity...not just a portion of it, as is often the case in lesser optics

  • SIDE PARALLAX ADJUSTMENT FROM 25 YARDS TO INFINITY - The Nightforce Competition Black Matte hunting scope features a side parallax adjustment turret, allowing shooters to adjust for parallax error; this feature is crucial for achieving a focused reticle and minimizing optical distortion at different target distances
  • FEATURES - Hi-Speed windage and elevation adjustments of .125 MOA, positive and repeatable over a lifetime of use, now standard with ZeroStop; total elevation travel is 55 MOA, total windage 50 MOA; each rotation provides 10 MOA of adjustment; the Competition includes ZeroStop and Hi-Speed adjustments as standard equipment

  • One of the best optics on the market
Style: FCR-1 Reticle
This is a pretty amazing optic. The FCR1 reticle is preferred. high quality and excellent warranty.

  • A great scope
Style: CTR-2 Reticle
The optics are excellent, very clear with excellent light transmission. I shoot F class and this scope, with the CTR-2 reticle (a dot on fine crosshairs) is excellent. The 1/8 MOA windage and elevation adjustments are distinct clicks, by feel. I notice that this scope is defined as a “hunting” scope, that is not true. This scope is designed for bench rest and F class shooters. Because of the small dot and fine crosshairs it is not appropriate for hunting, you likely would not be able to see the dot or crosshairs. ... show more

  • This was the best scope purchase i have ever made
Style: FCR-1 Reticle
This was the best scope purchase i have ever made. I've known about their reputation for quite awhile but just could not bring myself to pay over $2300 for a scope. I own several in the $800 - $1200 range, all good scopes but there is just no comparison to the nightforce, the clarity is amazing. After zeroing it on my Sig Sauer SSG 3000 (a rifle that deserves this kind of scope) i did a slightly modfied box test to check the mechanical quality and repeat-ability. I used a center aiming point on 4 connected 8" boxes and moved the reticle 8 moa around the 8 corners of the connected boxes and was within 1/2" at every junction, and then i got silly and just started randomly moving the reticle around at 4moa and 6moa adjustments and the scope tracked perfectly returning to zero every time, my center aiming point ended up being a quarter size hole after 40 shots around the boxes at 100 yds. Don't tell nightforce, but if i knew this scope was that good, i would have paid more :) ... show more

  • Outstanding Scope
Style: FCR-1 Reticle
You cannot go wrong with a Nightforce scope. In addition, order was fulfilled by Sports Optics who had it delivered as promised. Have dealt with them directly in the past and a good company.

I love this scope! I used it just before the SWN Long Range Competition. It is extremely well made, and easy to sight in. The clarity is superb!

  • Not All That Great
Style: FCR-1 Reticle
They didn't tell me it had to be signed for (I was very unhappy about that). Scope is nice but don't know how you see anything with that high of power, I still can only use 25 power at any range. I wouldn't buy again.
