NightForce Rifle Scopes
The Nightforce Company is headquartered in Orofino, Idaho. It may seem suspicious to find such a state-of-the-art facility in a small town, but it is the perfect place for intense testing of high quality rifle scopes. Nightforce was established in the year 1992 with a single goal in mind: to build the finest rifle scopes on the market. The same qualities that have made Nightforce the choice of professionals have now created a dedicating following among hunters and serious shooters. Each and every scope they sell is thoroughly inspected and tested by hand at their Idaho headquarters. Each product is checked at 70 different points, and must pass a battery of tests that would most likely destroy a regular scope. When you receive your Nightforce, you can be assured that it is as close to absolutely perfect as it is humanly possible.
The Nightforce tubes are machined from solid bar stock 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum alloy, not extruded or formed like those found on regular scopes. They are two to three times thicker than other rifle scopes which means less overall stress, greater thermal stability, a consistent zero and a virtually impervious shield for the precision optics within. The spring that maintains pressure on their elevation and windage adjustments spends two weeks in a polishing tumbler before actually going into a Nightforce scope; this is in order to assure there are no rough spots or burrs to interfere with perfectly smooth operation. It is made of pure titanium, the only available metal in the world that can be repeatedly compressed and held in place, even for a couple of years, without developing any sign of fatigue. This will guarantee zero loss of integrity, zero loss of repeatability. It is many times more expensive than comparable springs found in most scopes.
Every lens in any of the Nightforce scopes is matched and aligned by hand perfectly to its partners. This technique, which is called optical indexing, yields the highest possible optical performance. Because it takes time and considerable expertise, many manufacturers don’t bother, however, Nightforce has been doing this since they appeared on the market. They machine the screw that controls elevation adjustments to an unbelievable 110 threads per inch. It is so precise that it must be mated to its receiver by hand. Lenses are painstakingly bedded and cemented with their own proprietary Mil-Spec formulation. There is no glass-to-metal contact that can result in breakage or misalignment over time.
The optical elements within an NXS scope are hand-bedded with their own proprietary Mil-Spec bonding agent, and then cured at 160 degrees Fahrenheit for 24 hours. Lenses are further secured with o-rings and machined metal lock rings, both fore and aft. This zero-tolerance lens securing method assures no possible movement of the optical elements from impact in any direction, including side impact. Every lens cell in every Nightforce scope is fully tested to make certain it meets their rigid standards for quality and long-term reliability. This combination is not the easiest way to build a scope. It is, however, the best way to build a scope - providing a lifetime of repeatable accuracy.
