Nightforce Competition

The Nightforce Competition 15-55x52 scope offers exceptional resolving power through its advanced ED glass and superior lens coatings, ensuring outstanding clarity across its entire magnification range. Weighing just 27.8 ounces, it is 24% lighter than the 12-42 x 56 Benchrest scope, enhancing maneuverability without sacrificing performance. This scope features a side parallax adjustment turret for precise focus from 25 yards to infinity, essential for minimizing optical distortion. Hi-Speed windage and elevation adjustments of .125 MOA come standard with ZeroStop, providing positive and repeatable adjustments over a lifetime of use. The non-illuminated DDR-2 reticle offers maximum precision for competitive shooters, making this scope an ideal choice for serious target applications.

The HD optical system provides outstanding color fidelity and sharpness, delivering clear images even in dim lighting—crucial for dawn and dusk hunts. Its precision turrets and side parallax adjustment allow for accurate, on-the-fly adjustments, while the rugged, shockproof construction holds up under tough conditions. Lightweight and built to withstand moisture and debris, the Viper HD is perfect for hunters seeking quality optics without excess weight.
