Visit www.nightforceoptics.com for up-to-date information. Nightforce is located in Orofino, Idaho. It might seem odd to find such a state-of-the-art facility in a small 1-4 x 24 NXS town, but it is an ideal location for intense testing of our riflescopes. Nightforce was created in 1992 with one goal in mind; to build the finest riflescopes on the market for 2.5-10 x 24 NXS the professional shooter. The same qualities that have made Nightforce the choice of professionals have now created a dedicated following among 2.5-10 x 32 NXS hunters and serious shooters. Try one, and you will understand why.
