The highest magnification riflescope we make, the 12-42×56 provides optical resolution comparable to the highest quality spotting scopes and unsurpassed clarity across the entire magnification range. The 56mm objective is specifically designed for optimum resolution under all conditions—its resolution outstanding even at the highest magnification. In the past, accomplished long-range shooters could only wish for a scope equal to the capability of modern flat- shooting calibers. The question now becomes, does your rifle measure up to the NXS™ 12-42x56?

1 MOA elevation spacing and 2 MOA windage spacing are ideal for precision long range shooting, benchrest and all-around use. The fine reticle subtensions are effective for rangefinding objects of various sizes. NP-R1 reticles in Nightforce 5.5-22x, 8-32x and 12-42x NXS models show 20 MOA scale below centerline (at left). In the 3.5-15x, an additional 10 MOA scale below center is indicated on the reticle.
NP-R2™ Reticle

- Benchrest 12-42x56
- Benchrest 8-32x56
2 MOA elevation and 5 MOA windage increments allow for multiple zero and hold points along with accurate rangefinding. Excellent for long-range applications including big game hunting. NP-R2 reticles in Nightforce 5.5-22x NXS, 8-32x and 12-42x NXS and Benchrest models show 20 MOA scale below centerline (at left).
