Nightforce NX8 2.5-20×50 Riflescope
nightforceoptics.com
The NX8 2.5-20×50 builds upon the rugged, reliable, and repeatable legacy of Nightforce’s NXS line built over more than 20 years. Despite the compact size, the NX8 F2 riflescopes feature Nightforce’s ZeroStop turret, DigIllum reticle illumination, power throw lever, and several new purpose-built F2 reticles. The optical system uses ED lenses to allow for great optical quality in a system with an 8x zoom ratio and short overall length. The new MOAR-CF2 and MIL-CF2 reticles are calibrated at 20x and provide users with an open center with dot and intuitive numbering of subtensions for a clear view of the target and fast holds anywhere in the reticle. For hunters or shooters who prefer a reticle in the second focal plane that stays consistent in size throughout the magnification range, the Nightforce NX8 F2 scopes will take your capabilities to a whole new level.
Fenix HM65R Rechargeable Headlamp

This rechargeable headlamp puts out a serious amount of light—a whopping 1400 lumens—which will really light up your way. We have used it hunting, fishing and clamming and like the option of three intensity settings on the dual-spotlight headlamp. This provides the spectrum from dim to super bright, giving you a versatile range of light options. The primary power option is a single 18650 battery; as a secondary option, you can also power the HM65R with two CR123A batteries. The HM65R also features a USB type-C charging port to facilitate charging of the 18650 battery that is included.
NightForce NX8 4-32×50 F1 Scope Review
I recently had the opportunity to test the NightForce NX8 4-32×50 F1 scope, and I wanted to share my thoughts on its performance and features.
First off, the build quality is exceptional. The NX8 feels robust and well-constructed, which is something I always look for in a high-end optic. The scope is made from aircraft-grade aluminum, providing durability without adding unnecessary weight. The matte finish not only looks great but also minimizes glare, which is a plus during those sunny days in the field.
Optically, the NX8 is outstanding. The image clarity and brightness are impressive across all magnification levels. The 32x magnification allows for detailed observation of targets at long distances, and the 50mm objective lens helps gather light effectively, promoting excellent low-light performance. I found the colors to be true-to-life, and contrast was sharp, which is critical for identifying details at varying ranges.
The reticle is another highlight. The F1 reticle design is intuitive, allowing for quick target acquisition and precise aiming. The illuminated reticle is a fantastic feature, especially during low-light conditions or when shooting at dawn/dusk. The illumination settings are easy to adjust and don’t overwhelm the field of view, maintaining focus on the target.
In terms of adjustments, the turrets are tactile and provide clear feedback when dialing in for elevation and windage. Accurate adjustments are vital for long-range shooting, and I found the NX8 to perform excellently in this regard. The zero stop feature adds to the scope's practicality, allowing for quick return to zero after making adjustments.
One small downside is that the price point might be a barrier for some shooters. The NX8 is a premium scope, and while the performance justifies the cost for serious enthusiasts and professionals, it may not be the best choice for casual users or those on a budget.
Overall, the NightForce NX8 4-32×50 F1 scope delivers an outstanding optical performance and rugged durability, making it a top choice for long-range shooters. If you're looking for an advanced scope that combines precision, quality, and versatility, this one deserves strong consideration.
