NIGHTFORCE, C458, NXS - 2.5-10x42mm - ZeroStop - .250 MOA - DigIllum - PTL - MOAR

There are only two ways to improve upon the Nightforce 2.5-10 x 32 NXS Compact...one of the most popular, most proven riflescopes. One way is by increasing the size of the objective lens to 42mm, making it even more effective in low light. The other way is by adding new technology, additional features, and more options. Nightforce has done that, too. The result is a riflescope of streamlined proportions, minimal weight, and performance far beyond its size. Actually, beyond most riflescopes of any size.

Instant magnification changes in a fraction of a second, even if you're wearing gloves. Your riflescope arrives with a flush insert, which you can easily replace with the threaded PTL knob. Like so many Nightforce features, the PTL is included on the Compacts at no extra cost.


With 1 MOA elevation and windage markings, .140 MOA lines, more accurate range finding and hold-offs are possible on smaller targets at longer ranges. Combined with a floating center crosshair, this makes for a reticle extremely fast and easy to use in the field. This reticle features center illumination only, and a 30 MOA scale below center.
