Overview
The Nightforce NX6 6-36x56mm is a first focal plane precision riflescope built for long range shooting, with a 34mm tube, exposed FieldSet turrets, and a 56mm objective for low light resolution.
This scope is pitched squarely at long range and PRS-style shooting rather than general hunting use. The exposed turret system and generous elevation travel favor shooters who dial corrections repeatedly during a session, and the close-focus parallax down to 10 meters is a detail that matters mainly to competitors working targets at varied close distances.
- 6-36x first focal plane magnification
- 34mm main tube diameter
- DigIllum illuminated reticle with auto-off
- Adjustable parallax down to 10m/11yd
Who it's for
Long range precision shooters and PRS Production class competitors who need wide magnification range and repeatable turret tracking. Not built for a hunter who wants a lighter, lower-magnification hunting scope for woods work.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 6-36x range covers mid to long distance in one scope
- 56mm objective for brighter low light images
- Exposed FieldSet turrets built for repeated dialing
- 0.1 MRAD click value with a MIL-XT reticle
- No published rating or review data available
- Large objective and wide zoom range add size and weight versus a compact scope
Performance notes
The DigIllum illumination system sits in the side focus control and remembers your last brightness setting, with an automatic shutoff after an hour to save battery. Because the reticle is first focal plane, holds calculated at one magnification stay valid if you change power without re-zeroing your math.
