Nightforce / Lightforce

Rugged. Reliable. Repeatable.

Nightforce was born in 1992 with the vision that everything we build will meet this promise. For nearly three decades, we have designed and built optics and mounting systems that have been tested in the harshest conditions on earth.
Whether you are preparing for a deployment, your next shift, a world championship, or the hunt of a lifetime, thank you for putting your trust in the optical performance, consistent tracking, and durability of your Nightforce. If you are purchasing your first Nightforce, we are excited for you to experience why we are the choice of USSOCOM, numerous other special operations units worldwide, world champion competitive shooters, and the world’s most discerning hunters.

Never Compromising Quality

There is no such thing as “mass production” at Nightforce. Only a skilled human eye and experienced hands are discerning enough to perform many of the critical operations involved in assembling a precision optical instrument.
Before they leave the factory, Nightforce riflescopes are subjected to conditions far beyond most anything you will ever encounter in the field. During our impact tests, riflescopes must endure repeated impacts of over 1200 Gs of force on multiple axes. After each severe impact, the riflescope is hand-checked for tracking accuracy and overall integrity. We rigorously test and inspect to ensure your Nightforce will work when you need it most.
