Nightforce NX6 3-18x50 F1 FieldSet DigIllum MOA-C Riflescope
The Nightforce NX6 3-18x50 F1 with MOA-C reticle delivers the same versatile 3-18x magnification range and first focal plane precision as its MOA-XT sibling, but with a cleaner, more open reticle design. At 26.7 ounces in a 30mm tube, this is a lightweight powerhouse that excels on mountain hunts, backcountry adventures, and any application where a clear sight picture and fast target acquisition take priority.
Optical Performance
The 3-18x zoom range with 50mm objective is one of the most practical configurations for a do-everything riflescope. You get a 35.3-foot field of view at 3x for close-range work and situational awareness, with enough magnification at 18x for precise shot placement at distances beyond what most field shooting scenarios will present. The first focal plane design keeps the MOA-C reticle properly scaled at all power settings, so your holdover and ranging references are always accurate without needing to remember which magnification your reticle is calibrated for.
MOA-C Reticle
The MOA-C (Compact) reticle is designed for shooters who value a clean, uncluttered view of their target. With essential MOA-based reference marks arranged in a minimalist layout, the MOA-C gives you ranging and holdover capability without the visual complexity of extended reticle designs. This makes it particularly effective for hunting scenarios where quick target identification matters and you want the reticle to complement your view rather than compete with it.
FieldSet Turret System
The FieldSet exposed elevation turret pairs perfectly with the MOA-C's dial-friendly design philosophy. With crisp 0.250 MOA clicks and field-resettable zero capability, you can confidently dial your elevation corrections knowing the turret will track precisely and return to zero reliably. The FieldSet platform's ability to accept custom BDC dials also makes it an excellent choice for hunters with established load data who want quick, repeatable adjustments for known distances.
DigIllum Illumination
The integrated DigIllum system provides red and green illumination across five brightness levels, built into the side-focus parallax knob for a clean scope profile. During the critical low-light minutes of dawn and dusk when game is most active, the illuminated reticle center ensures fast, confident aiming even against dark backgrounds.
