probably looking at about 1000 for it, its a 12-42x56 NSX with NP-2DD reticle there about 1400 new and this one is mint

 

 

NP-2DD: Varmint, 1000 yd benchrest

 

Field tactical, varmint, big game, light hunting, benchrest and 1,000-yard shooters can benefit from the design of this double-dot reticle.

 

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:

 

Favored by two classes of shooter, the NP-2DD is the reticle most preferred for predator hunting in low light conditions. When measured at 22x, tapered horizontal bars reaching 4 M.O.A. from the center and a floating .1875 M.O.A. center dot draw the hunter’s eye to center for quick target acquisition with minimal illumination flare around the center aimpoint. This reticle is also highly functional for benchrest shooters when combined with Nightforce Precision Benchrest models.

 

A secondary .125 M.O.A. diameter dot is located 4 M.O.A. below center at 22x. This dot is a 500-600 yard holdover point for most flat shooting cartridges. This simple and effective reticle performs in long-range situations while maintaining quick target acquisition capability for short distances.

 

1,000 yard benchrest competitors prefer the NP-2DD reticle when selecting the 8-32x56 and 12-42x56 models in the Precision Benchrest series for its optimum dot subtension. The unobstructed field-of-view allows the shooter to observe the wind flags to detect a change of condition.

 

FITS: ALL NIGHTFORCE RIFLE SCOPES, ex. Compact NXS

 

 

 

 

 

12-42 x 56 NXS

The highest magnification scope we make. It provides optical resolution comparable to the highest quality spotting scopes and unsurpassed clarity across the entire magnification range. Both the 8-32 and 12-42 utilize 56mm objectives specifically designed for optimum resolution under all conditions—even at the highest magnification. In the past, accomplished long-range shooters could only wish for a scope equal to the capability of modern flat-shooting calibers. The question now becomes, does your rifle measure up to the 12-42 x 56 NXS?
