Nikon Introduces Match-Ready First Focal Plane Riflescope

Competition-grade, First Focal Plane (FFP) Scopes are generally some of the more expensive glass you can buy. Nikon just made an optic that is much more accessible to everyone by hitting a price point that is very affordable.

For 2018 Nikon expands its flagship BLACK tactical optics family with the introduction of the FX1000. Competition-ready straight from the box, the BLACK FX1000 combines match grade features such as a first focal plane optical system, high-speed turrets, integral zero stop and choice of glass-etched MOA or MRAD reticles. To summarize, the new BLACK FX1000 becomes the feature-packed optic long-range shooters have been waiting for–and one that changes the paradigm of how tactical optics are valued.

The BLACK FX1000’s high-speed turrets allow you to dial-in 25 MOA/10 MRAD of adjustment per revolution with crisp, clean, tactile clicks. These high-speed turrets allow most modern calibers to be dialed in excess of 1,000 yards with a single turn. Built for the constant dialing that comes with long-range precision, the elevation turret debuts Nikon’s all-new integral zero stop that assures you don’t lose your zero once set. BLACK FX1000 riflescopes each have a side focus parallax adjustment located on the left side of the turret block for parallax compensation from 50yds-∞. On illuminated reticle models, a 10-level rheostat control integrated into the knob features intermittent “off” settings between each brightness level.

The BLACK FX1000 is offered in 4-16×50 and 6-24×50 variants, with the choice of FX-MOA or FX-MRAD reticles. The 4-16×50 models provide 90 MOA/25 MRAD maximum internal adjustments and the 6-24×50 models provide 60 MOA/17 MRAD internal adjustments.

The BLACK FX1000 riflescopes are built on 30mm tubes from aircraft grade aluminum alloy with Type-III hard anodizing surface finish for maximum ruggedness and long-term durability. Waterproof, fogproof and shockproof, all BLACK FX1000 models are backed entirely with Nikon’s lifetime repair/replacement NO FAULT POLICY.
