New, Affordable FX1000 FFP Tactical Scopes from Nikon
Nikon has a new line of First Focal Plane (FFP) riflescopes designed for tactical and PRS shooters. The very affordable BLACK FX1000 series includes 4-16×50mm and 6-24×50mm variants, with the choice of FX-MOA or FX-MRAD reticles. The FX1000 line features 30mm main body tube, high speed 10 MIL or 25 MOA turrets (with nice, tactile clicks), integral zero stop, and Nikon No Fault Lifetime Repair/Replacement on the entire riflescope. Most important thing — all FX1000 scope are under $800.
Burris, Bushnell, and Vortex should be concerned. We expect that Nikon will be stealing market share with the new, sub-$800 FX1000 line-up. This is solid choice for PRS production class, which is limited to $3000.00 total for rifle AND optic.

Nikon offers 4-16×50mm and 6-24×50mm FX1000 models. The 4-16×50mm scopes provide 90 MOA/25 MRAD elevation adjustment range while the 6-24×50mm optics provide 60 MOA/17 MRAD elevation.
The BLACK FX1000 riflescopes are built on 30mm tubes from aircraft grade aluminum alloy with Type-III hard anodizing for ruggedness and durability. Waterproof, fog-proof and shock-proof, all BLACK FX1000 models are backed by Nikon’s lifetime, No Fault repair/replacement policy.
FX1000 PRODUCT LINE-UP
Here the 6.5 Guys interview Jeremy Bentham, a PRS Competitor who helped design the New FX1000 series scopes:
Nikon’s new FX1000 optics feature “high-speed” turrets (10 Mil or 25 MOA) with nice, tactile clicks. PRS shooter Jeremy Bentham designed the new reticles which are clear and easy-to-use. The 4-16x50mm model is $649.95 while the 6-24x50mm is $799.95 MSRP. These represent outstanding value for a big name, life-time warranty product.

Upgrade the glass to ED prime glass you would have a winner for sure.
These look like a great value.
Honestly though, I’m surprised Nikon hasn’t developed a variety of premium rifle scopes. They have such a great history of phenomenal photography equipment, it seems like they have missed an opportunity for some fantastic equipment that would be comparable to the premium equipment we all lust for today.
who buys nikon riflescopes?
Ive owned many Nikons and they have been every bit as good as any Leupold I’ve owned.

Mark Barrett, so let me get this straight:
FX1000 4-16x50SF FX-MRAD (MSRP $649.95)
This will be covered under a lifetime warranty even if you drop it…
FX1000 6-24x50SF Matte Illuminated Reticle FX-MRAD (MSRP $799.95)
… but this top-of-the-line, more expensive model won’t?
I want to get a Vortex Viper PST Gen2 even more now. Their warranty covers anything and everything.
