Nightforce NX8 F1 1-8x24mm Illuminated Black Rifle Scope – FC-DMx

Overview

The Nightforce NX8 F1 1-8x24mm Illuminated Black Rifle Scope with the daylight-visible FC-DMx reticle is engineered for shooters demanding Rugged, Reliable, and Repeatable performance. Optimized for rapid target acquisition at close ranges and precision hold-over at distance, this premium riflescope adapts instantly from red dot simplicity to advanced grid holdover. Whether you’re engaging targets in dynamic tactical scenarios, competitive 3-Gun stages, or precision hunting in varied terrain, the NX8 F1 delivers superior optical clarity and robust construction.

Advanced Optical System

At its core, the NX8 F1 features fully multi-coated ED glass elements that provide exceptional light transmission and color fidelity from dawn to dusk. The 24 mm objective combines a compact, low-profile design with a wide field of view. When dialed to 1x magnification, the clear, edge-to-edge image rivals that of dedicated red dot sights, enabling fast, instinctive shooting. Increase magnification up to 8x for refined target identification, range estimation, and precision shot placement out to mid-range distances.

Daylight-Visible FC-DMx Illuminated Reticle

The true daylight-visible center red dot ensures rapid engagement even in bright ambient light without sacrificing battery life. Between each brightness setting, an “Off” position prevents accidental illumination. The FC-DMx reticle’s precision Christmas Tree grid provides a comprehensive network of windage and elevation holdover points graduated in 0.2 MIL increments. This advanced holdover capability eliminates guesswork, allowing you to make quick, accurate shots in changing environmental conditions.

First Focal Plane Design

The NX8’s first focal plane (FFP) reticle maintains proportional subtensions throughout the entire 1–8x magnification range. This design means that hash marks remain true to scale, enabling consistent use of the reticle for ranging and holdover at any magnification setting. FFP functionality is essential for dynamic shooting and ensures that your reticle-based corrections are always accurate.

Rugged Construction and Performance

Built around a 30 mm aircraft-grade aluminum tube, the Nightforce NX8 F1 is engineered to withstand harsh environments, extreme recoil, and temperature variations. The sealed, nitrogen-purged interior guarantees fogproof and waterproof performance in all weather conditions. A capped, zero-stop elevation turret offers precise 0.2 MIL click adjustments and tool-free rotation, while the integrated throw lever allows instantaneous magnification changes.

Fast Target Acquisition

Whether engaging snapshot opportunities at close range or dialing in over extended distances, the NX8 F1 excels in speed and adaptability. At its lowest magnification, the daylight-visible red dot functions like a reflex sight for rapid, point-and-shoot performance. Crank up to mid-range magnification, and benefit from the clear, repeatable FC-DMx aiming grid for complex wind calls and elevation corrections.

Compact, Lightweight Design

Weighing just 17.3 oz and measuring 8.7 in overall length, the NX8 F1 is one of the most compact scopes in its class. This lightweight profile preserves rifle balance and maneuverability, making it ideal for fast-paced shooting sports, tactical applications, and backcountry hunts where every ounce matters.
