The ZeroHold turret allows fast, precise adjustments with the ability to quickly and without fail return to zero and stay there in harsh environments. The 12.6-inch length allows for ample room for weapons-mounted rangefinders, clip-ons, and any other mission-critical equipment for the modern shooter.

Built for Battle, Tuned for Precision – Nightforce ATACR Delivers
The Nightforce ATACR 4-16x42mm F1 is, without question, the finest optic I’ve ever mounted on a rifle. From the moment I unboxed it, the build quality was immediately apparent—this scope feels like it was engineered to survive a warzone and still hold zero. The glass clarity is absolutely stunning across the entire magnification range. Whether I’m dialing in at 100 yards or stretching out to 800, the image remains razor-sharp with no distortion, even at full 16x. The first focal plane reticle is perfectly calibrated, and the ZeroHold turret system is intuitive, precise, and rock-solid. I’ve used this scope in low light, bright sun, and variable wind conditions, and it has never let me down. The eye box is forgiving, the adjustments track perfectly, and the tactile feedback from the turrets is exactly what you’d expect from a top-tier optic. Paired with my Christensen Arms MPR .308, this setup has become my benchmark for precision shooting. The ATACR 4-16x42mm F1 isn’t just a scope—it’s a force multiplier. If you’re serious about long-range accuracy and demand reliability in every condition, this optic is worth every penny.

I own two of these in the Mil-R and they are absolutely fantastic. 2nd to none when it comes to fit, finish and quality. Rugged Reliable and Repeatable!
