Review of Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x56

 

Nightforce is one of the best and renowned riflescope brands available in the market. When compared with some of its peers, even those having higher prices, shooters have found Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x56 easier to handle and more efficient to shoot with. They say compulsory and optional ZeroStop is definitely an advantage over others. Informations like these have made it compelling enough to write a review on Nightforce NXS scopes.

 

Before jumping to the Nightforce review, it is important to give a clear idea about its categorization. The Nightforce scope is usually available in the market in the US$1800 range and therefore comparing it with a scope of $3000 is inappropriate.

 

Size and Design

This scope can be easily classified in the ‘large' category. It has a rugged build as the lineup is usually used by law enforcement agencies as well as the US military. The 30mm tube is made up of high grade aluminium (6061-T6) and it is definitely around two to three times thicker than other rifle scopes. Besides, the Nightforce NXS scope has anodized finish having black and matte texture, giving it a slender but rugged look.

 

Eye Piece, Rings, Knobs and Eyepiece

For adjusting the dioptre, the traditional way of rotation is followed. It comes with a locking ring that helps in locking an eyepiece after the reticle focus adjustment is done. Users will not have any problem while loosening, tightening or gripping the concerned ring because it comes with serrations, which in turn help in holding the same. Power selection ring comes with proper markings for indicating power setting. When you are adjusting zoom, eye piece of Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x56 rotates completely.

 

The knobs are well elevated and the markings are done in the right manner. Shooters will be able to use the knobs easily because of the clearly marked numbers, which are large too, as well as gaps between the clicks. There can't be any miss of clicks during elevation adjustment because of the presence of large gaps.

 

Nightforce Zero Stop and Windage Knob

This is one of the most important features of Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x56 because this helps users in keeping a track on the level at which they are on the elevation range.Zero Stop helps shooters to quickly get back to the reference point (initial). The shooter just needs to fix the target at a particular range of choice, followed by setting knobs to zero. This helps in setting the zerostop. The particular design of ZeroStop has been patented by Nightforce, where the design helps in avoiding any kind of ‘half' click.

 

Optical Features of Nightforce Optics

The optical device comes with a 3.9 inch eye-relief and this is the reason why it is perfect to be fitted with high power rifles (such as .50 BMG). So if you are asking about the optical performance, it is simply amazing. Hand bedded glass, which is placed properly, is surely the signature aspect of Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x56. Adjustable illumination brightness and flip lens caps are other important features.


Overall, this device is perfect for rugged use and should be given preference while buying a riflescope from the large category.
