Nightforce built a reputation on making riflescopes that work when everything else fails — optics trusted by military and law enforcement professionals who cannot accept equipment failure when it matters most. The Nightforce NX8 lineup brings that same standard of durability and optical quality to a compact, lightweight platform that covers everything from close-quarters LPVO applications to serious long-range precision work. If you want Nightforce performance without the size and weight of the full-size ATACR or NXS platforms, the NX8 is where that pursuit ends.

The NX8 Platform

The defining characteristic of the NX8 scope lineup is the 8x zoom ratio built into a compact, lightweight package that does not sacrifice the optical quality or mechanical precision that Nightforce is known for. The 30mm main tube and 17-ounce weight on the base configurations make the NX8 Nightforce platform genuinely competitive on weight-sensitive builds without cutting corners on the features that professional shooters depend on.

NX8 1-8x24mm LPVO

The NX8 1-8x24mm is the LPVO configuration that competition shooters and tactical users have embraced for its true 1x low end and daylight-bright first focal plane reticle that delivers fast target acquisition at close range and precise holdovers at the 8x top end. The FFP reticle placement keeps your subtensions accurate across the full magnification range — a critical feature for shooters who use holdovers at multiple distances rather than dialing for every shot. Available in both MOA and Mil-Radian reticle configurations for Nightforce LPVO shooters who work in their preferred measurement system.

NX8 2.5-20x50mm

The NX8 2.5-20x50mm is a versatile mid-range configuration that extends the NX8 platform into serious precision-shooting territory. The 2.5x low end keeps the scope usable for close engagements, while the 20x top end provides the magnification needed for precision work at extended distances. The 50mm objective pulls in strong light across the full magnification range. For shooters who want one scope that genuinely covers everything from field hunting to precision competition, the 2.5-20x50 is a compelling choice.

NX8 4-32x50mm

The NX8 4-32x50mm is the dedicated long-range precision configuration in the NX8 family. At 32x maximum magnification and a 50mm objective, the NX8 is built for precision competitive shooting, long-range hunting, and any application where maximum magnification and supreme optical clarity at distance are the primary requirements. The NX8 platform maintains its compact and lightweight advantage even in this configuration — delivering serious long-range capability without the bulk of traditional high-magnification precision scopes.
