Nightforce ATACR F1 ZeroStop 7-35x56mm Dark Earth Illuminated Rifle Scope – Mil-XT

The Nightforce ATACR F1 ZeroStop 7-35x56mm Dark Earth Illuminated Rifle Scope with Mil-XT reticle is engineered for the most demanding long-range shooters, tactical professionals, and precision hunters. Combining a massive 7-35x magnification range, first focal plane Mil-XT reticle, and a precision ZeroStop turret system, this riflescope is a top-tier tool for target acquisition and holdover corrections up to extreme distances. Its Dark Earth finish and robust 34mm main tube ensure both stealth and strength in any environment.

Advanced Optical Performance and Clarity

Equipped with an ED glass optical system and fully multicoated lenses, the ATACR F1 delivers exceptional resolution, color fidelity, and light transmission across the entire 7-35x magnification range. Shooters will experience crisp, high-contrast images, even in low-light dawn and dusk scenarios. The large 56mm objective lens gathers maximum light, enabling bright, clear sight pictures at long ranges, while the first focal plane configuration keeps the Mil-XT reticle subtensions accurate at every power setting.

Precision First Focal Plane Mil-XT Reticle

The friction-locked Mil-XT reticle sits in the first focal plane for real-world holdover and windage corrections from 7x to 35x. Graduated mil-dots, hash marks, and subtensions provide rapid ranging and target engagement at multiple distances without calculation. The reticle is also illuminated in 11 intensity settings, combining Nightforce’s proprietary fiber illumination and precise LED control for quick aiming in low-light, glare, or dusty conditions. Zero illumination makes the reticle black and crisp for bright daylight precision.

ZeroStop Turret System for Rapid Return to Zero

The patented Nightforce ZeroStop elevation turret allows repeatable return to the original zero setting by mechanical stop, eliminating guesswork after dialing for long-range shots. With 100 MOA (or 27 mil) of travel, the turret provides more than enough adjustment for precision target shooting. Windage adjustment offers 60 MOA (16 mil) of travel. Both turrets feature tactile, audible clicks, knurled edges, and positive detents for precise dialing in the field, under stress, and in adverse weather.

Side Focus Parallax and Ergonomic Controls

A side-focus parallax adjustment knob ranges from 10 meters to infinity, ensuring parallax-free clarity and critical focus at close-range practice drills or extreme distances. The included Power Throw Lever (PTL) snaps on quickly to the magnification ring, allowing rapid zooming without compromising the Dark Earth finish. The parallax knob and elevation/windage turrets are ambidextrous, providing intuitive manipulation by left- or right-handed shooters.

Rugged Construction and Reliability

The ATACR F1 ZeroStop scope is built on a 34mm one-piece aircraft-grade aluminum tube, making it shockproof, waterproof, and fogproof. Every assembly is sealed with O-rings and nitrogen purged to maintain internal integrity. The Dark Earth hardcoat anodized finish resists abrasion, corrosion, and harsh climatic conditions. Nightforce’s proven manufacturing quality control ensures each scope can handle repeated recoil from large magnum calibers without losing zero or clarity.

Included Accessories and Modular Design

Nightforce includes low-profile flip-open scope caps to protect lenses from debris and scratches in the field. The rugged aluminum Power Throw Lever (PTL) snaps securely onto the magnification ring for quick changes between low and high power. The modular turret system can be reconfigured between MOA and mil adjustments by Nightforce service centers, providing tailored solutions for competition or tactical teams.

Ideal Applications: PRS, Tactical, and Long-Range Hunting

Precision Rifle Series (PRS) competitors appreciate the ATACR F1 ZeroStop’s repeatable zero return, crisp glass, and wide magnification range. Military and law enforcement marksmen rely on its rugged reliability, intuitive controls, and first focal plane holdover reticle. Long-range hunters leverage the 35x top end for precision shots on distant game, while rapid target acquisition at 7x ensures quick follow-up shots. From mountain goats to steel targets, this Nightforce scope excels in all disciplines.

Maintenance and Service

Nightforce optical products are designed for minimal maintenance. Simply wipe the lenses with a lens cloth and store the scope in a dry case when not in use. The turrets can be re-indexed or serviced by Nightforce if needed, and the ZeroStop system can be factory updated or converted between units of measure. A limited lifetime warranty covers optical and mechanical failures under normal use.

Conclusion

Combining the extreme magnification of 7-35x, first focal plane Mil-XT reticle, ZeroStop elevation turret, and a rugged Dark Earth housing, the Nightforce ATACR F1 ZeroStop 7-35x56mm Illuminated Rifle Scope sets the standard for long-range precision. Whether competing in tactical matches, executing professional law enforcement missions, or harvesting game at extreme distances, this riflescope delivers the reliability, accuracy, and optical clarity demanded by serious shooters worldwide.
