Nightforce X-Treme Duty Ultralite Scope Rings

Since 1992, Nightforce Optics has earned the reputation of Rugged. Reliable. Repeatable. Driven by a passion for performance, Nightforce's engineers, machinists, and assemblers ensure that every product going out the door upholds this reputation. This dedication is why discerning users choose Nightforce for critical hunts, home defense, and competitions. There is no such thing as “mass production” at Nightforce. Only a skilled human eye and experienced hands are sensitive enough to perform many of the critical operations involved in assembling a precision optical instrument. Before they leave the factory, Nightforce scopes are subjected to conditions far beyond most anything you will ever encounter in the field. During our impact tests, riflescopes must endure repeated impacts of over 1200 Gs of force on multiple axes. After each severe impact, the scope is hand-checked for tracking accuracy and overall integrity. We rigorously test and inspect to ensure your Nightforce will work when you need it most. All air-to-glass surfaces receive our proprietary broadband multi-coating; applied to tolerances of 1/4 wave deposition or .000005 inches, exceeding the toughest Mil-Spec abrasion test. You will see the difference in low-light situations. Every lens in a Nightforce scope is matched and aligned by hand perfectly to its partners. This technique, called optical indexing, yields the highest possible optical performance. Because it takes time and considerable expertise, many manufacturers don’t bother. We’ve done it this way since the beginning. Nightforce tubes are machined from solid bar stock 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum alloy, not extruded or formed like those found on lesser scopes. They are two to three times thicker than other scopes. This means less overall stress, greater thermal stability, a consistent zero and a virtually impervious shield for the precision optics within. The spring that maintains pressure on our elevation and windage adjustments spends two weeks in a polishing tumbler before going into a Nightforce scope, to assure there are no rough spots or burrs to interfere with perfectly smooth operation. The NXS titanium spring has been optimized for a lifetime of performance, designed to never reach its fatigue limit or establish a memory, even if the setting is unchanged for long periods of time. Nightforce goes to tremendous length to make Rugged, Reliable, Repeatable scopes. However, the performance of our scopes is only as good as the rings or mounts holding the scope and the base attaching it to the gun. Heavy recoil, rough handling, and harsh environments can cause issues on poor quality mounting components. Nightforce Rings, Mounts, Bases, and Accessories are designed and built to Nightforce's demanding standards of precision for those looking to maximize the performance of their scope.
