Nightforce NX6 3-18x50mm F1

The Nightforce NX6 3-18x50 hits that perfect middle ground—enough magnification to reach out, but still light and compact enough to actually carry in the mountains. This is the kind of scope you throw on a rifle and trust for just about anything—western hunting, range work, or running a gas gun.

At just under 27 ounces and 13.9 inches long, it keeps your setup balanced without giving up performance. You’re getting serious elevation travel—120 MOA (34.9 MRAD)—so dialing for distance isn’t a limitation. This thing is built to stretch.

What Makes It Stand Out

FieldSet™ Turret System
Simple, tough, and easy to adjust. You can reset your zero quickly without special tools—just use what you’ve got in your pocket. It’s designed to work in the field, not just on a bench.

Dial It Your Way

• F1 (first focal plane) comes with exposed elevation dialing
• Capped windage keeps things protected
• SFP version can convert from capped to exposed
• Includes a coupon for a free BDC or standard turret conversion

If you want a custom dial built for your exact load, you can do that. No guessing.

Digillum™ Illumination
Clean, usable illumination when it matters—low light, dark timber, last light.

• Red or green options
• 5 brightness settings
• Doesn’t blow out your sight picture

Built for Real Use

• Locking diopter so your focus stays put
• Magnification ring turns smoothly without messing with the eyepiece
• Optional throw lever for quick adjustments
• Flip caps included—no extra spend needed

Reticle Options (Pick Your Style)

You’ve got options depending on how you shoot:

MOA-XT (F1)
Grid-style reticle for dialing and holding with precision

MOA-C (F1)
A simplified MOA reticle. Cleaner view, less clutter, but still gives you the ability to hold when you need to

MIL-C / MIL-XT (F1)
Clean or detailed MIL options depending on how much info you want in your reticle

The Bottom Line

The NX6 3-18x50 is a true do-it-all scope. It’s light enough for backcountry hunts, tough enough for hard use, and precise enough to dial when it counts. No fluff here—just a solid optic that works.

If you want one scope that can handle most situations without overcomplicating things, this is it. It’s clear, it’s light, and it’s Nightforce tough. Mount it, zero it, and go fill the freezer.
