Nightforce Benchrest, A Name To Reckon With

What is in a name they say. But if it is like that of Nightforce Benchrest, then there is something that the name instantly gives away and makes you want to know more. Or even own one for that matter. And that is, in one word, precision. The proud holder of more long range records than any other riflescope, the optical sighting instrument is coveted for its amazingly high levels of precision. The impressive series is brought to you by Nightforce, a company that strictly believes in precision optics for precision shooting. Other renditions by it consist of Nightforce ATACR, Nightforce B.E.A.S.T., Nightforce SHV Riflescopes, Nightforce NXS Compacts, Nightforce NXS, Nightforce Competition, Nightforce TS-82 Spotting Scope, Nightforce Velocity Reticles and Nightforce Accessories.

Coming back to the Benchrest category, this one is tailor made for use by professional marksmen. But that in no way restricts the number of its patronizers; the lineup has a huge fan following among enthusiastic hunters and serious shooters as well. It comprises 8-32×56 Precision Benchrest Riflescopes and 12-42×56 Precision Benchrest Riflescopes. Let us take a sneak peek.

To begin with, the primary difference between the two models of the of long range scopes series is the magnification range. They lack the brand's patented Zero Stop technology but the absence is compensated by a host of other unique features and specifications to boot. Both the Precision Benchrest scopes have a 56 mm objective lens with multi-coated lens coating for bringing on board advance resolution needed to distinguish fine detail at exceptionally long ranges. Extra-fine focus for parallax adjustment (25 yards to infinity) is brought about by an adjustable objective. Calibration of the target turrets are done in true .125 MOA (1/8 click) values which can again be indexed to zero post sighting in. Extreme tracking accuracy is gained with the help of a coil spring plunger return system.

Apart from that, the riflescopes boast of an eyepiece that facilitates quick reticle focusing, and a glass-etched illuminated reticle for maximum image/ reticle contrast regardless of the lighting conditions. Plus, NP-R2 and NP-2DD are the Nightforce Benchrest reticles that the scopes come with. The scopes weigh 36 oz only.

The unique selling point of the Nightforce Benchrest 8-32×56 and the Nightforce Benchrest 12-42×56 lies in their unbeatable tactical shooting performance. To add more, in its effort to make it as perfect as humanly possible, the company ensures the Benchrest riflescope is inspected top to bottom and tested by hand at its Idaho headquarters. Each of the instrument is checked at as many as 70 different points, and made to pass a battery of tests that would, without a shadow of doubt, dismantle a lower grade scope. And that just goes on to show how durable and long lasting the scopes are, which the user realizes when the shooting endeavors are encompassed in forbidding conditions. Definitely a rewarding choice for those who are into tactical shooting and long range hunting! Take your pick without much ado.
