Nightforce NX6 1-6×24 F1 – FC-DMx
The LPVO Built for Modern Rifle Shooters
The NX6 1-6×24 F1 was designed for shooters who need more than a traditional LPVO.
Unlike the SFP version which focuses heavily on hunting applications, the F1 model is built around the highly capable FC-DMxâ„¢ reticle, allowing shooters to make accurate elevation and wind holds throughout the magnification range.
Whether you’re:
- Competing in IPSC Rifle
- Running a practical rifle setup
- Hunting predators
- Using a modern sporting rifle
- Building a professional-use carbine
the NX6 F1 provides speed, precision and versatility in one lightweight package.
Why Choose First Focal Plane?
The defining feature of the NX6 F1 is its:
First Focal Plane Reticle
Unlike a Second Focal Plane scope, the reticle scales proportionally as magnification changes.
Benefits include:
✔ Accurate holds at every magnification
✔ Faster engagement of multiple distances
✔ No need to remain at maximum magnification
✔ Better performance in practical shooting competitions
✔ Improved capability for dynamic shooting environments
This makes the NX6 F1 particularly attractive for shooters who regularly transition between close and distant targets.
FC-DMxâ„¢ Reticle
The NX6 F1 is equipped with Nightforce’s:
FC-DMxâ„¢ Reticle
Purpose-built for speed and precision.
Benefits include:
✔ Daylight-bright centre aiming point
✔ Rapid close-range engagement
✔ Precise elevation holds
✔ Wind hold references
✔ Intuitive long-range shooting capability
The FC-DMx combines the speed of a red dot with the functionality of a precision rifle reticle.
True 1x Performance
At minimum magnification the NX6 delivers:
True 1x
Benefits include:
✔ Both-eyes-open shooting
✔ Red-dot-like performance
✔ Exceptional target acquisition speed
✔ Enhanced situational awareness
✔ Fast transitions between targets
For practical rifle competitors and patrol rifle users, true 1x performance is critical.
Daylight Visible Illumination
The NX6 features:
Daylight-Bright Illumination
Providing:
✔ Bright centre aiming point
✔ Excellent visibility in bright sunlight
✔ Faster target acquisition
✔ Improved low-light capability
✔ Enhanced performance in dynamic environments
The illuminated centre dot remains highly visible even in challenging lighting conditions.
Lightweight Yet Incredibly Capable
The NX6 maintains a compact footprint despite its capability.
Specifications
- Weight: 18.9oz (536g)
- Length: 10.2″ (259mm)
- Tube Diameter: 30mm
- Eye Relief: 4.0″ (101mm)
This keeps rifle weight low while preserving excellent handling characteristics.
Massive Field of View
The NX6 provides:
Field of View @ 100 Yards
- 116.1ft at 1x
- 19.1ft at 6x
Benefits include:
✔ Faster target acquisition
✔ Better observation capability
✔ Easier tracking of moving targets
✔ Increased situational awareness
This is one of the key characteristics that separates a premium LPVO from traditional rifle scopes.
Capped Turret Simplicity
The NX6 uses:
Capped Finger Adjustable Turrets
Benefits include:
✔ Protection from accidental adjustment
✔ Reliable field performance
✔ Lightweight design
✔ Practical real-world operation
Most shooters will use the FC-DMx reticle for holds rather than dialing, making capped turrets a practical choice.

✔ Heavy recoil

✔ Hard field use
✔ Competition abuse

Nightforce’s reputation for ruggedness is one of the reasons their optics are trusted worldwide.
