Even the frontline military men and marksmen use models like Nightforce NXS 2.5-10×32 and Nightforce NXS 5.5-22×56. these are ideal for long range shooters and hunters.

The next feature is the tight 1/8 MOA click value. This feature is preferred by the long range hunters as an eight minute click that enables the shooter to adjust the point of impact accurately when compared to the quarter minute click. This is why most first class shooters opt for 8 minute clicks.
