Nightforce ATACR 4-16X42mm FFP Rifle Scope – Mil-XT Reticle
The Nightforce ATACR 4-16x42mm F1 is built for shooters who want premium precision in a more compact package. Nightforce describes it as ideal for precision semi-automatic rifles, pairing a 4-16x magnification range with a 42mm objective, first focal plane reticle, and a 12.6-inch overall length that leaves room for clip-ons, rangefinders, and other rifle-mounted accessories. In the Mil-XT version, shooters get a detailed MRAD-based reticle suited for holdovers, corrections, and precision work across the magnification range.
This optic uses Nightforce’s ZeroHold turret system for fast adjustments and a dependable return to zero in harsh conditions. The ATACR 4-16x42mm F1 also features DigIllum illumination, a standard Power Throw Lever, 0.1 MRAD click adjustments, side parallax adjustment from 45 yards to infinity, and a 34mm tube. At 30 ounces, it remains relatively compact for its capability while still delivering the rugged construction Nightforce is known for.
