Nightforce NX6 3-18x50 F1 FieldSet DigIllum MOA-XT Riflescope
The Nightforce NX6 3-18x50 F1 with MOA-XT reticle is the do-everything riflescope in the NX6 lineup. With a 6:1 zoom ratio, first focal plane optics, FieldSet exposed elevation, and DigIllum illumination in a lightweight 26.7-ounce 30mm package, this scope bridges the gap between a dedicated hunting optic and a precision rifle scope. It is equally at home on a mountain rifle as it is on a competition rig.
Optical Performance
The 3-18x magnification range is widely regarded as one of the most versatile zoom ranges available. At 3x, the 35.3-foot field of view at 100 yards provides outstanding situational awareness for close encounters and fast-moving targets. Push to 18x and you have the resolution to make precise shots at distances most hunting scenarios will ever demand. The 50mm objective lens balances light gathering with a compact profile, and the first focal plane design ensures the MOA-XT reticle is always dimensionally accurate regardless of your magnification setting.
MOA-XT Reticle
The MOA-XT (Extended) reticle provides comprehensive holdover and windage marks extending beyond standard reticle coverage. In a first focal plane scope with this magnification range, the extended subtensions are especially valuable because the reticle remains usable and readable across the full zoom range. For hunters who may need to hold over for a quick follow-up shot or for shooters engaging multiple targets at varying distances, the MOA-XT offers the reference points you need without requiring turret adjustments.
FieldSet Turret System
The FieldSet exposed elevation turret puts Nightforce's precision adjustments at your fingertips with field-resettable zero capability. Set your zero, confirm it, and lock it in using any common tool. The turret delivers crisp, tactile 0.250 MOA clicks with the mechanical repeatability Nightforce has built its reputation on. The FieldSet platform also supports conversion to capped turrets or custom BDC dials.
DigIllum Illumination
DigIllum provides red and green illumination across five brightness settings, integrated into the side-focus parallax knob. The system is invaluable during low-light hunting conditions when a subtly illuminated reticle center can mean the difference between a clean shot and a missed opportunity. Auto-shutoff and memory recall ensure the system is always ready.
