Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x50 HVM.5 C371

Many consider the Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x50 to be the ultimate long range scope. It’s 50mm objective lens provides maximum clarity and resolution across the entire magnification range. This advanced field tactical scope has a wide magnification factor that allows precision accuracy at the longest ranges yet is highly effective for shots at close ranges. With 100 MOA of elevation travel no target will be out of range of this scope. Combined with the Nightforce Velocity 1000 reticle you will have a revolutionary solution to fast and precise long-range shooting. Unlike ‘one size fits all’ drop compensating reticles, the Velocity 1000 reticle is tailored to the ballistic profile (muzzle velocity, bullet weight, ballistic coefficient, etc.) of your rifle and your load. Up to twice as fast as traditional ballistic reticles, it eliminates guessing at holdover, calculating bullet drop or counting elevation adjustments. Once the reticle is properly sighted in, verify the distance to the target and simply hold dead on* at the appropriate elevation mark.

Nightforce NXS 5.5-22 Velocity 1000 characteristics:

• Precise shot placement to 1000 yards with no estimating of holdover
• Vastly superior to ‘one size fits all’ drop compensating reticles
• The Velocity 1000 Reticle is clearly marked in 100 yard increments, with 25 yard sub-indicators beyond 400 yards
• Windage compensation in 5, 10 and 15 mph increments
• Eliminates estimating holdover or counting elevation adjustments
• Matched to the specific ballistic profile of your chosen rifle and load
