I remember when Ray first started out selling Lighforce spotlights here in South Australia. Have been using his lights and optics ever since. His commitment to quality has only grown over the years Big thank you to all those who share this commitment at Nightforce 👍
7 years ago I really struggled to buy my first Nightforce scope. Never imagined spending that much, wasn’t sure they were going to be dependable. I now, very proudly own 8 of them. I’m quite sure I’ll never own anything else.
I built my SHTF rifle a little while back, and there was no question as to what scope was going on it. Nightforce ATACR 1-8X. Now, as new technology comes out with improvements for rifles, I might be upgrading to a better weapon, but that Nightforce scope will always be my go-to for times where I know I need ruggedness and reliability.
I put a NX8 2.5-20x50 on my 300WinMag Weatherby rifle and I have to say I really like it. I feel like I could throw it off the mountain and it'll still work :)
I bought my first Nightforce ATACR 7-35x-56mm scope 3 years ago that I mounted on my Barrett MRAD rifle. I love the scope and had a friend that was a Army Ranger sniper that was telling me about the time he was repelling down a three story building when his sniper rifle came loose and fell 3 stories and landed on the elevation turret. It was a Nightforce Breast scope and said when he checked the zero it was perfect even after a 3 story fall. He was very impressed with how well built the scopes are built.
I have 3 nightforce scopes, 2 nxs and 1 atacr. Love them, they truly are RRR. Btw I recently sold my pickup and bought a new one, I sure could use another nightforce bumper sticker. Thanks folks for your great product and great factory support which I only hear about and never had to use.
I just purchased my first Nightforce ATACR through the MIL/LE unit. My point of contact was Mike Crawford. During my discussions with Mike I know that when I placed my order I was getting everything I needed. If Mike is anything like the rest of the Nightforce family, then the Nightforce company is the very best that you can every ask for. Mike, thank you for everything. You cannot begin to know my utmost appreciation for your time, patience, and assistance in helping me.
Nice to see another vid from yourselves. Have been buying NF scopes for over 20 years for hunting, precision rifle, and FClass. Keep up the great work!
I love my NF scopes. I have a 3.5-15x56 NXS, 5-25x56 ATACR and 7-35x56 ATACR. Mine are in MOA. I prefer MOA SFP scopes. My ATACR scopes have the MOAR-T reticle. The best reticle for me. I never had a problem with any of them. When I called with questions before purchase, the customer service was excellent. Keep up the great work!
Awesome. I actually bought a 20"Lightforce bar to take back to NZ a few months ago as they were the best. Stoked to hear that it's still under the same owner. On that note can you guys re-release the NXS 2.5-10x32 scope? They are super hard to get second hand and everyone is crying out for them!!!@@nightforceoptics
I bought a NX8- LPVO, and I love this scope, I did have an issue with the illumination. it was staying at it's brightness at every turn. I called Nightforce and they had me ship it back and within a couple days I received a call from a Rep explaining to me what was wrong. it turned out it was the mother board that went bad, they Replaced it Free of Charge, Major Plus. NF isn't cheap But if you want the Best, NF is it no Argument. Oh and I received my scope back within 7 days... Very Please. Thank you NF. I will be looking forward to buy another Scope soon.
I now have two Nightforce scopes... an ATACR 4-16X50 F1 and a NX8 2.5-20x50 F1 (both MIL-XT recticle) and they're both fine optics. I reside in the UK where we have a narrow market and a much smaller hunting and practical shooting community.
I've used NSXs on my rifles for 20 years now. Currently own four. I've tried most of the other brands at various times, but nothing is as dependable as a Nightforce.
I've got an NXS 3.5-15x50 on my 338 Lapua. That scope and rifle is one of my most prized possessions. I'll never part with it. I might have to ask if I can send it back and for a fee have it coated in that cool dark earth color.
I’m moving away from Leupold for a couple of reasons. 1. Nightforce is coming through with the options for appropriate reticles on each platform. 2. They’re not in Portland, Oregon! I don’t want my hard earned dollars supporting that place! NX8 will be my next optic.
2-12, 15-17 oz, exposed locking elevation turret with zero stop, capped windage, MIL-R. That would be awesome if you guy could make it. I don’t need illumination. Even a 1” tube would be fine. I just don’t like adding 20+ oz to my hunting rifles 😁👍
Hey nightforce if your gonna build a 1200$ "budget" scope why don't you put a real windage turret on it. Vortex and burris and many others have windage turrets onb their scopes for 350$ or 500$. You guys are awsome but god damn
Great question! A portion of our optics offerings are engraved as "Made in USA" and others are engraved as "Made in Japan." The reason for the different "Made in" designations is due to the country of origin of the primary core components of the optics. We have worked with a Japanese firm since our earliest days, as they have proven time and again to be industry leaders in optical design and manufacturing. It has always been Nightforce's goal to build the best optics in the world, and we know that our Japanese affiliates assist us in doing so. With that said, all final assembly and quality assurance testing is always conducted in our factory in Orofino, Idaho.
@@NiteQwill_here’s the thing, no one is forcing you to buy it but for me I prefer a mil reticle for ranging, holds, and favors; and, MOA for placeholder zero. This mix assures certainty for where the rifle is pointed. NF does not do this anymore because novice shooters perceive there’s less learning required for matching dials and turrets. Interestingly enough these novice shooters get their matching turrets and dials and still do not learn how to use the scale to zero, range, or counter wind. At any rate, MOA dials support accuracy on static targets while mil reticle supports quick holds and favors.
@@charlesludwig9173 No one does this anymore because there is no reason to. Stop being stuck in 1990s. And no company is going to create a product that only 1 person buys. It would be a poor business decision. Current shooters have no problems zero'ing, ranging, or calling wind with matching turrets or reticles. I have no idea where you have been shooting the past 2 decades...
I noticed the final inspector who signed "BB" at 0:05:27 is the one who checked out the three ATACR scopes i never had a problem with. Thank You BB!

Thank you for sharing! We appreciate your dedication to purchasing your first Nightforce, and your loyalty to the brand since that time.
Just used my Nightforce NX8 on a Barrett M82A1 to hit a mile. You helped me achieve a dream.
Shout out to Sonny for always taking care of the Mil/LE folks!
Absolutely! 👏
No, we sincerely appreciate it. You made my first purchase easy for me while in Afghanistan with the SOTF. I’ll be purchasing another soon.

Best in the game. Hands Down!

There are several NF scopes in my safes. Glenn Lass is my contact rep.

Just installed a Nightforce ATACR 1-8 on my SCAR 17S and absolutely love it
I have a NXS 5-22/56 on my 338LM and can report that all milk jugs within 1 mile have been neutralized.
👏👏 Excellent!

Love my NF scopes, carried them while in the military and now while retired. And now I can put a face to Mike who always takes care of my orders. 👍
Love my NSX thanks Dr Ray and the team at NF 🇦🇺🇺🇸
I had no idea that Light Force an Night Force were the same company. I have a set of the lights and they are amazing.
NIGHTFORCE Semper Fidelis
Damn. I never knew NF was started by an Aussie and that he used to own Lightforce?!
Actually, Dr. Dennis actually still owns Lightforce as well! Glad we could bring some insight into the history of our brand.
Awesome. I actually bought a 20"Lightforce bar to take back to NZ a few months ago as they were the best. Stoked to hear that it's still under the same owner. On that note can you guys re-release the NXS 2.5-10x32 scope? They are super hard to get second hand and everyone is crying out for them!!!@@nightforceoptics
Where do I get that oversized throw lever that’s at 2:17 in the video??
I absolutely love my Nightforce products! Bill Bracken is the man.

I love my NXS scope, is there anyway I can fit a zero stop to it?
One day… owning an ATACR is a dream of mine.
The friend that I had that was an Army 75th Ranger he passed away this past February 😔
Very impressive 👍👍👍
I now have two Nightforce scopes... an ATACR 4-16X50 F1 and a NX8 2.5-20x50 F1 (both MIL-XT recticle) and they're both fine optics. I reside in the UK where we have a narrow market and a much smaller hunting and practical shooting community.
Excellent! Happy to hear your ATACR and NX8 are both serving you well.
love my NF here in Australia
I've used NSXs on my rifles for 20 years now. Currently own four. I've tried most of the other brands at various times, but nothing is as dependable as a Nightforce.

Wondering, can I send my NXS 3.5-15 x50 back to NF to replace reticle with another reticle concept?
Only optic I trust
We appreciate your support!
Love my 5 Nightforce scopes. From the SHV to the ATACR... every rifle I own wears a Nightforce.
Excellent! Thank you for sharing
I have a nxs 5-22x56 on my tic tac, and love it ,I bought a s&b pm11 for my 300nm, and to my eyes I'd say the n/f has better clarity than the pm11
Great scope - Thad all that goes on my rifles -
Great value- great optic - great strength
Thank you for your support and feedback!
Please work with Horus to bring back the H130 reticle!
When it comes to the best hunting or tactical scopes, there is nothing out there that comes close to Nightforce
cool, bro 😮😮😮
Its funny that an Australian started the company, but you cant buy one in Australia cause they are always sold out due to low stock.
Nah you can, but you've gotta pay through the nose for it. 5.5k for ATACR 7-35x.
I’m moving away from Leupold for a couple of reasons. 1. Nightforce is coming through with the options for appropriate reticles on each platform. 2. They’re not in Portland, Oregon! I don’t want my hard earned dollars supporting that place! NX8 will be my next optic.
Excellent! Let us know if we can help in any way. Our customer service is always happy to help.
First 5 seconds you slammed your scope against the window frame. Is that to improve the accuracy? I love using a scope that is not level. 🤪
i thought they (and I have seen) were made in Japan
My Nightforce Atacr is the most secure handle I've ever had on my rifles 😂
2-12, 15-17 oz, exposed locking elevation turret with zero stop, capped windage, MIL-R. That would be awesome if you guy could make it. I don’t need illumination. Even a 1” tube would be fine. I just don’t like adding 20+ oz to my hunting rifles 😁👍
Thanks for the feedback! We will pass this on to our product development team.

Because very few dial for windage these days.
so why does the NXS I just bought say ' made in japan' ??

no argument from me against Japanese optics and qc!! @@nightforceoptics

Bring back the option for MOA dials paired to mil scaled reticle. It delivers all that’s important.
Hell no
