Nightforce announced the NX6 series of scopes just last week, and they are on display here at SHOT Show 2026. This is a large product family, ranging from a 1-6x24 LPVO up to a 6-36x56mm high magnification scope. Whatever type of scope you are looking for, there is probably an NX6 that could fill the role.

The NX6 LPVO is the lowest magnification member of the NX6 family. It comes in both first and second focal plane options. MSRP is $1,500 for second focal plane models and $$1,800 for the first focal plane reticle.

FieldSet Turrets

The FieldSet turret system is new on the NX6 series. It consists of capped and uncapped options. To reset the turrets to zero, simply loosen the top of the cap using either the included tool or anything you can find that fits. Once loose, simply reset to zero and retighten. For shooters who prefer a BDC turret instead of MIL or MOA markings, that is an option as well.

Featuring an extensive lineup of versatile magnification ranges and the all-new FieldSet™ turret system.
