Nightforce Optics has come up with two new ATACR (Advanced Tactical Riflescope) scopes. In one of them you will find reticles located in the First Focal Plane (FFP) and in the other the reticles located in Second Focal Plane. The latter one is known as Nightforce ATACR 5-25×56 SFP Enhanced Riflescope. When it comes to the preferences of long range pro tactical shooters, Nightforce 5-25×56 F1 as well as the SFP Enhanced scopes fulfill their needs. This has become possible because Nightforce has built these scopes after considering the inputs of both military snipers and civilian shooters. The enhanced set of features the shooters will find in this advanced new scope include optimized reticle designs, enhanced reticle placement features, and others, making it a tactical powerhouse.
Features and Specifications of Nightforce ATACR 5-25×56 SFP Enhanced
In Nightforce ATACR 5-25×56 Zerostop .25 MOA MOAR Digillum C553, shooters will find Hi-Speed adjustments along with patented ZeroStop feature. The increments in the adjustments are available in 30 MOA per revolution (.25 MOA) or 12 Mils per revolution (.1 MRAD) increments. Another aspect that the tactical shooters will appreciate in this new Nightforce scope is the capped windage adjustment feature, which prevents any kind of accidental adjustment during shooting time in the field. The shooters will find DigIllum digital reticle illumination along with parallax adjustment, where approximate numbered distances have been marked clearly. Fast diopter adjustment can be made by using XtremeSpeed thread, an important feature in the eyepiece. The other advanced features present in the eyepiece are integrated Power Throw Lever (PTL) and enhanced engraving.

Another feature that the long range tactical shooters will love in Nightforce ATACR 5-25×56 SFP Enhanced scope is the significantly large (34.9 Mils or 120 MOA) elevation adjustment available here. This has become possible due to the incorporation of 34mm body tube in the ATACR model, giving enough space for making the elevation adjustment. Large elevation adjustment facility is especially beneficial for the tactical shooters because that will give them more space for taking the long range shots. Just like any other advanced Nightforce riflescope, this scope also comes with excellent ED Glass that is fully multi-coated. It ensures excellent light transmission (over 90 per cent) through 56mm objective lens diameter, amazing color contrast, and brilliantly bright image production that enables the tactical shooter to aim targets even during twilight. No matter what situation a shooter is in, 5x zoom facility (5x to 25x magnification range) and significantly wide field of view ensures that they are able to aim the target and hit it too. This is the result of the unique optical prescription (17.96 feet per 100 yards at 5x magnification to 4.92 feet per 100 yards at 25x magnification) available in Nightforce ATACR 5-25×56 SFP Zerostop .25 MOA MOAR Digillum C553 riflescope.
Nightforce ATACR 5-25×56 SFP Enhanced Riflescope is 14.3 inches (363 mm) long and is a bit too heavy (39 oz or 1108g). However, extra weight of the scope will hardly be an extra baggage for the shooters. The eye relief in this scope is 90 mm or 3.54 inches, which ensures that the shooters can see through it even with their glasses or sunglasses on. Nightforce ATACR 5-25×56, due to its use with the powerful mags, are required to handle heavy recoils. This is the reason why Nightforce Optics has provided such a long eye relief. Other important specs of Nightforce ATACR 5-25×56 SFP Enhanced scope include .250 MOA or .1 Mil-rad click value, 45 yards to infinity parallax adjustment, 10.52 mm to 2.28 mm exit pupil diameter, 25x Calibrated Ranging Power, 44 mm eye piece outer diameter, 2.10 inch front mounting length, 2.24 inch rear mounting length, 6.13 inch mounting length, internal elevation adjustment range of 120 MOA (34.9 mil), and 60 MOA (17.45 mil) internal windage adjustment range.
After going through these features and specs, it can be easily said that Nightforce ATACR riflescopes are indispensable for aspiring shooters, hunters, and outdoor professionals. As these robust scopes can be used for longer time period, they can be effective optical accessories with big game hunting, long range shooting, competitive shooting, target shooting, and others. While testing this product, we found out that they work amazingly in extreme low light conditions (no matter whether it is dawn or dusk). This feature is found to be extremely helpful for long range hunters who want to hunt predators such as coyotes that prefer to come out of the woods during these times.
Reticle Choices
Nightforce ATACR 5-25×56 SFP Enhanced Riflescope comes with three reticle choices and they are MOAR – 20 MOA, MOAR-T, and MIL-R – 5 Mils. All these three reticles have their own features and specialties. Here, we will discuss some of the important points along with their application preferences.
MOAR – 20 MOA
If a tactical shooter or hunter is buying this scope for targeting smaller targets located at long range distances, MOAR – 20 MOA reticle is the perfect choice for them. This reticle comes with 1 MOA elevation as well as windage markings and a floating center crosshair. Another important feature of this MOAR reticle is the presence of 20 MOA scale below centerline. The typical configuration of this reticle makes it easy and fast to use, thereby enabling shooters to quickly acquire target and shoot.
MOAR-T
Nightforce has come up with the finer version of original MOAR reticle after a lot of their customers asked for it. MOAR-T is also ideal for accurate rangefinding as well as holdover estimation. Due to the presence of finer lines, shooters are able to target smaller targets at longer ranges in a more effective manner than the original MOAR reticle. With MOAR-T, tactical shooters and hunters are able to get more precision at extreme ranges. Lines in this reticle are just .0625 MOA and the elevation/windage markings are 1 MOA, thereby making it a finer reticle. Illumination in this reticle is present only at the center.
MIL-R – 5 Mils
In this reticle, shooters will find .5 Mil as well as 1 Mil divisions. Therefore, the users will be able to find multiple zeroes, windage, hold-under, and holdover adjustments through the reticle itself, without having the requirement of touching the windage or elevation knobs. If a tactical shooter wants to estimate range through the scope, this MIL-R – 5 Mils reticle will come handy.
