Nightforce Optics 5-25x56mm BEAST F1 Riflescope, Illum FFP Mil-C Ret, 34mm Tube

While locating a Reticle in a riflescope's second focal plane is most common, a first focal plane location has distinct advantages to the accomplished shooter. All Reticle sub tensions, whether in MOA or Mil-Radian configuration, remain in the same visual proportion to the target across the scope's entire magnification range. This makes a first focal plane Reticle particularly effective for target holdovers, windage leads and range estimation. It eliminates a number of variables, resulting in greater speed and ultimately in greater accuracy in high-stress environments.New Standards of Resolution and ClarityThere are plenty of high-magnification variable power riflescopes on the market. But, magnification without extreme resolving power, razor-sharp clarity and superb contrast- even in dismal light-is of no value. Military snipers are now called upon to positively identify targets and distinguish threats at distances measured in hundreds of meters.The slightest nuance in appearance can, for example, separate a legitimate IED threat from an innocent non-combatant. The optical prescription and glass used in the B.E.A.S.T. was created through a collaboration between U.S. and German engineers, who were tasked with achieving resolution and clarity that surpassed that of any riflescope in the world. They succeeded.Intelligent and IntuitiveTrue-to-eye light transmission exceeds 90 percent, with resolution and image clarity at unprecedented levels. XtremeSpeed adjustments on a 34mm tube provide 60 MOA (20 Mil-Radians) of adjustment instantly in a single rotation (120 MOA total travel)-meeting, or exceeding, the effective range of any known cartridge at extreme distances.The heart of the B.E.A.S.T. is its i4F intelligent four-function elevation control. Initial adjustments with the primary elevation knob are lightning fast, in .50 MOA/.2 Mil-Radian increments. An integral fine adjustment lever provides additional elevation adjustments in .25 MOA/.1 Mil-Radian increments.It is the fastest, most precise elevation control ever conceived on a riflescope. The patented Nightforce ZeroStop system, allowing an instant return to the shooter's established zero point, is standard. A new 360-degree brake control allows instant securing of elevation adjustments.Perhaps the shooter suddenly anticipates engaging a number of targets at a substantially longer range, for example, 750 meters. Dial in the necessary elevation, activate the 360-degree brake control by pressing the control on top of the elevation knob, rotate the control 90 degrees counter-clockwise, and an instant, secure setting is established at 750 meters.Another press of the brake control and a 90-degree clockwise turn of the control disengages the brake setting. Unlike competitor's systems, it is an instant, intuitive, one-hand operation, requiring no fumbling with complicated mechanisms, no time lost, no distraction from the target.The B.E.A.S.T. includes Nightforce DigIllum digital illuminated Reticle technology, which has established new standards of convenience and repeatability. The shooter chooses the appropriate illumination setting for lighting conditions, from very dim to extremely bright, and can then turn off illumination to preserve battery power.When illumination is turned back on, it defaults to the shooter's chosen setting. This ensures that the user's night vision is not affected and that an instant shot is possible. DigIllum also includes a low-battery indicator and auto-off feature.The Highest Possible Light TransmissionThe professional sniper's world is one of shadow and darkness. Enemies intent upon doing harm are not in the habit of operating in broad daylight. Thus, from day one, we knew that the B.E.A.S.T. had to outperform any other existing riflescope in poor light. And it does. The B.E.A.S.T. achieves 90%+ light transmission-approaching the maximum limit of what is physically possible.There is no such thing as 100% light transmission in a riflescope. Only a handful of riflescopes in the world have ever topped the 90% figure, and the human eye can distinguish differences of approximately 3%. At first or last light, the B.E.A.S.T. can make the difference between a precise shot-or no shot at all.Applicable To Any Tactical EnvironmentAt just 15.37" length, the B.E.A.S.T. is very compact relative to its power, allowing friendly attachment of thermal, night vision and other accessories. On today's battlefield, our servicemen can find themselves in a firefight in a crowded, close-in urban environment, or engaging small targets at extreme distances all in a single day.Our military requested one riflescope equally adept in every conceivable environment, and the B.E.A.S.T.'s 5-25x magnification range provides multi-scope capability in one sophisticated package.- MIL-C Reticle -Designed to meet the needs of today's precision rifle competitor, the MIL-C Reticle allows for fast and accurate shots on target.The MIL-C has a simple center dot for a fine aiming point at center, while the main lines feature .2 Mil-Radian holds. Each whole Mil-Radian is numbered for fast reference under even stressful conditions. The MIL-C features the inverted "T" Mil-Radian ranging scale made famous in our MIL-R Reticle. This allows for easy and logical estimations as low as .05 Mil-Radians if needed.This Reticle was designed for the competitive and field shooter, and is certain to give a competitive edge to anyone who uses it.
