Overview
Benchrest and long-range shooters get an 8-32x56mm second focal plane scope here, built around a 30mm tube, an NP-R2 illuminated reticle and 1/8 MOA click turrets for fine elevation and windage control. It ships with a sunshade, lens covers and a cleaning kit for precision-shooting setups.
One reviewer disputes the Made in USA labeling, reporting a Japan-made unit; that claim comes from a single buyer and isn't something we can confirm independently, but it's worth checking before you buy if country of origin matters to you.
- 8-32x magnification, 56mm objective
- 1/8 MOA true-click turrets
- NP-R2 illuminated reticle
- Parallax adjustable 25 yards to infinity
Who it's for
Suits benchrest and long-range shooters who already know they want true 1/8 MOA tracking and are willing to pay Nightforce pricing for it. Casual hunters who don't need 32x magnification or a 56mm objective will find it heavier and pricier than necessary.
Pros and cons
- Praised repeatedly for glass clarity
- 1/8 MOA turrets described as precise and repeatable
- Handled magnum-caliber sight-in with strong low-light performance
- Illumination barely visible below level 5
- One buyer disputes the Made in USA claim
- Premium price point
Performance notes
The parallax adjustment runs from 25 yards to infinity via the adjustable objective, and turrets click in true .125 MOA increments with a coil spring plunger return for repeatable zero resets. The illumination system reportedly only becomes clearly visible starting around level 5 of 10, so the lowest brightness settings may be too dim for some conditions.

Frequently asked questions
What reticle does the Nightforce C112 use?
It ships with the NP-R2 reticle, which uses 2 MOA elevation and 5 MOA windage increments for holdover and range estimation.
Is the Nightforce C112 first or second focal plane?
Second focal plane (SFP), so reticle subtensions are calibrated at a specific magnification rather than scaling with zoom.
Was the Nightforce Precision Benchrest scope made in the USA?
Nightforce markets its scopes as Made in the USA, but one reviewer reported receiving a unit marked as made in Japan, so it's worth confirming before purchase.
