Shared Features

Nightforce has a new turret system on the NX6 series. The FieldSet turrets allow both the dial and zero stop to reset using only a simple field expedient item like a coin. First focal plane models include exposed turrets, while second focal options include capped turrets. However, users are not stuck with one configuration. The turrets are interchangeable, and the capped turrets can be changed over to exposed turrets or swapped for BDC turrets.

All models include illuminated reticles. The 1-6x24 LPVO has a daylight-visible reticle, and the rest of the series has the Digilum system that many users are familiar with from other Nightforce scopes. Extended throw levers are standard on the magnification adjustment.

1-6x24

Length: 10.2 inches

Weight: 19.1 ounces

Tube Diameter: 30mm

The first focal plane model comes with the FC-DMx reticle. Second focal plane models come with either the 4A-i or FC-6c reticles.

We have plans to meet with Nightforce at SHOT Show 2026 to get hands-on with the various models, so be sure to follow our show coverage. We will also see if we can get pricing information.

NX6 optical performance is tailored for a wide field of view and clarity, in varying field conditions, delivering bright views of the toughest targets. The FieldSet™ turret system maintains Nightforce’s legendary repeatability and tracking while offering ease of use and configurability, allowing shooters to convert from capped to exposed dials and custom Bullet Drop Compensating (BDC) dials. There is an NX6 configuration for just about every rifle shooting application, providing lightweight and easy to use capability in a way that is distinctly Nightforce.”
