NIGHTFORCE NX8 RETICLE DESCRIPTIONS
MOAR™ F1
A clean, intuitive grid reticle in the first focal plane. Excellent for both hunting and precision shooting where holdovers are frequently used.
MIL-C™ F1
Classic mil-based reticle with fine subtensions for accurate hold points and repeatability — great for disciplined range work.
MIL-XT™
Extended tactical grid with additional reference points for wind and elevation holds without dialing.
Horus TREMOR3™
Advanced ballistic reticle designed for fast adjustments and easy visual reference across wind and range holds.
FC-MIL™ / FC-MOA™ / FC-DMx™
Illuminated reticles typically seen on low-power NX8 models — especially useful when hunting in variable light conditions.
Mil-CF2D™ (SFP)
Second focal plane reticle with dual scaling; true subtension is only guaranteed at certain magnifications (great for consistent reticle size).
