The AR platform is becoming very popular. Despite attempts by the powers that be, the AR rifle platform is found in ever area of hunting, competition shooting, and home defense. The in a few years guys are going to be calling AR platform rifles there old faithful deer rifle. Off my soapbox and to the point, people need optics for these rifles. Now I must admit, an Eotech 516.A565 looks great on an ar15 platform, and the performance of the Aimpoint compM4 is impressive with its rugged design and long battery life. These are great optics, but what if you want a scope with more than 3x magnification? You want something rugged, but built more like a scope than an electric optic. If you in the market for this you need to take a look at the Nightforce NXS 2.5-10×32 with zero stop and Npr2 Reticle. This compact scope is a great close to medium range scope that comes standard with illumination and a 30mm tube. This scope preformed well in low light conditions, everything was clear and the illumination adjustable so you don’t ruin your night vision. This scope is also just as robust as its larger brothers. If you find you’re self in a situation where you’ve run out of ammo, or your rifle becomes inoperable, you can use the scope to beat your targets and still use in on the next rifle. This scope is also compact enough to work well on an ar platform. If you’re a fan of good optics and looking for something to top your ar platform, give the Nightforce 2.5-10×32 scopes a try, but let me warn you, you won’t want anything after that.
