Riflescope Nightforce ATACR - 1-8x24mm F1
Code: C708
Product detailed description
Key Benefits
- Durability built for hard use – Nightforce checks finished riflescopes for forward and side impact and tests recoil resistance in multiple axes at accelerations exceeding 1,250 G. The rugged construction helps preserve zero through hard handling and heavy recoil.
- Precise, repeatable tracking – Every riflescope is checked for tracking accuracy. The adjustments respond consistently, so the correction dialed matches the actual point-of-impact shift and the mechanism returns reliably to its starting value. Capped adjustments protect the established zero and suit rifles on which distance correction is handled primarily with reticle holds.
- A platform selected by USSOCOM – The military version of this model was selected as the USSOCOM Squad Variable Power Scope. The commercial optic shares the same design platform and emphasis on optical performance and durability.
- High-resolution ED glass – The ATACR optical system uses ED glass to control chromatic aberration and preserve sharpness, color contrast and fine detail. This helps the shooter resolve target edges, impacts and mirage at high magnification.
- Durable broadband anti-reflective coatings – Every air-to-glass surface receives Nightforce proprietary broadband coatings. They improve light transmission and contrast, and their abrasion resistance exceeds demanding military requirements.
- FC-DMx (MOA) reticle developed for real shooting – Combines fast aiming at 1x with MOA references for deliberate work at 8x. Because it is placed in the first focal plane, its angular values remain correct at every magnification.
- Red-dot speed with riflescope precision – True 1x magnification, a wide field of view and a bright reticle center support both-eyes-open shooting. At 8x, the optic retains the detail needed for identification and precise shots at medium range.
Intended User and Application
ATACR - 1-8x24mm F1 is a professional carbine LPVO that combines a true 1x view with deliberate work at medium range. True 1x magnification, a wide field of view and a bright reticle center support both-eyes-open shooting. At 8x, the optic retains the detail needed for identification and precise shots at medium range. This exact configuration uses the FC-DMx (MOA) reticle, .250 MOA adjustments, capped adjustments and daylight-visible illumination with night-vision settings, with a Black finish.
Image Quality and Optical System
The ATACR optical system uses ED glass to control chromatic aberration and preserve sharpness, color contrast and fine detail. This helps the shooter resolve target edges, impacts and mirage at high magnification. Every air-to-glass surface receives Nightforce proprietary broadband coatings. They improve light transmission and contrast, and their abrasion resistance exceeds demanding military requirements.
Reticle, Focal Plane and Illumination
The FC-DMx (MOA) reticle combines fast aiming at 1x with MOA references for deliberate work at 8x. Its first-focal-plane placement keeps angular values valid at every magnification. Illumination is daylight-visible and includes two night-vision-compatible settings.
Turrets and Mechanical Performance
Every riflescope is checked for tracking accuracy. The adjustments respond consistently, so the correction dialed matches the actual point-of-impact shift and the mechanism returns reliably to its starting value. Capped adjustments protect the established zero and suit rifles on which distance correction is handled primarily with reticle holds. The .250 MOA adjustment unit belongs to this coded version and must match both the ballistic data and the reticle units. The PTL provides fast, positive magnification changes, including with gloves.

Mounting and Configuration Selection
Use quality rings or a one-piece mount sized for the 34 mm main tube. Select mount height around the objective housing, barrel profile, rail and a natural head position behind the rifle. With Nightforce, magnification range alone is not enough: the FC-DMx (MOA) reticle, .250 MOA click value, turret type and focal plane materially change how the scope is used.
Practical Note from neoPATRON
Set mount position for an immediate full sight picture at 1x from a natural presentation. Then set the diopter and confirm eye position at 8x.

AlwaysSecond comment: The market is full of rifle scopes and optics claiming to be the best, the brightest, the toughest, or to have the best repeatability, often trying to attract customers with the most impressive catalog specifications. Many of these brands experience their moment of “boom” and then eventually fall back to where they belong. You simply cannot mislead shooters forever. Competitive shooters are sharp observers, and sooner or later they notice that when you dial 43 clicks and the scope moves 46… something is wrong. If you push maximum brightness into the eye, it becomes dazzling and tiring rather than useful. And if the optic cannot hold zero, that is a serious problem. Nightforce Optics is a manufacturer that has been around since 1992, and their products have earned excellent reputation among both competitive shooters and military and tactical professionals. Their reputation is outstanding and I personally like their products very much. When a shooter owns quality rifles, they deserve quality optics. You wouldn’t put cheap Chinese tires on a BMW M2 ;) Despite all the “turbulent” or “revolutionary” shouting from competitors, Nightforce remains a benchmark of quality, durability and reliability. And I am glad that we can offer them to you at neoPATRON. My personal favorite is the ATACR 7-35x56 in MRAD with the Mil-XT reticle.

Nightforce Optics USA – the absolute benchmark of reliability and precision. Chosen by those who have no room for compromise
What has positioned Nightforce Optics among the most respected rifle scope manufacturers in the world?
It is their relentless focus on mechanical durability, optical quality and absolutely consistent tracking. Nightforce designs and tests its scopes to survive environments where most conventional optics fail: extreme calibers, heavy vibration, temperature shocks and long-term operational deployment. Most models are hand-assembled in the USA and Japan, and every unit undergoes brutal testing that simulates the conditions of real missions and professional competitions.
Nightforce is well known for functioning reliably even where competing optics have long since given up. High light transmission, excellent image clarity, precise mechanical operation and long service life — these are the reasons why elite snipers, special forces units and top competitive shooters around the world rely on Nightforce optics.
Why choose Nightforce rifle scopes:
- Legendary durability – Nightforce optics are among the toughest on the market. They withstand rough handling, heavy recoil and demanding operational use
- Precision tracking – mechanics that hold zero, do not drift and return to zero accurately, repeatedly and without compromise
- Top-tier optical quality – clean image, high contrast and reliable light transmission, especially valuable in poor lighting conditions
- Hand-assembled in the USA and Japan – not mass-produced budget optics. Most models are assembled by hand with individual inspection of every unit
- Trusted by professionals – used by military units, law enforcement and top shooters in disciplines such as PRS and ELR
- No compromises – Nightforce does not compete on low price or marketing tricks. They build optics to endure and to perform. Period.
