Nightforce Mk22 Mil-Spec 7-35X56 ATACR P-VPS Riflescope and Deployment Kit

The Nightforce ATACR 7-35x56 F1 in the Mk22 ASR configuration — the program-specification SOCOM deployment kit (P/N JQ57-M1002-1), issued with the U.S. Army and USSOCOM Mk22 Advanced Sniper Rifle, and rarely released to the civilian market.

• Mk22 ASR program optic: this is the exact ATACR configuration fielded with the Mk22 Advanced Sniper Rifle — not a commercial equivalent.
• TReMoR3 FFP reticle: the military-specification first-focal-plane reticle designed for ranging, wind holds, and elevation at any magnification.
• 7-35x zoom with 56mm objective on a 34mm main tube — the Nightforce platform built for the Mk22's multi-caliber engagement envelope.
• ZeroStop turrets allow instant return to zero after ranging adjustments, including in no-light conditions.
• Deployment kit contents: scope, laser rangefinder accessory mount, and SOCOM-specific accessories as issued.

The Mk22 Advanced Sniper Rifle is the U.S. Army and USSOCOM Precision Sniper Rifle solution — a multi-caliber Barrett MRAD system chambered for 7.62 NATO, .300 Norma Magnum, and .338 Norma Magnum with a barrel change. Its optic of record is the Nightforce ATACR 7-35x56 in this specific P-VPS / TReMoR3 configuration. The magnification range and 56mm objective are specified to the Mk22's engagement envelope, which extends well past the range at which typical hunting optics begin to lose resolution and light transmission. Nightforce rarely releases the program-spec variant to the commercial market; most commercial ATACR 7-35x56 units ship with different reticles and different turret specs.

The TReMoR3 reticle is the defining military feature. Developed by Frank Galli and adopted across several U.S. SOF precision rifle programs, TReMoR3 sits on the first focal plane — the reticle scales with magnification, so the subtension values remain valid at any power setting. The reticle's pyramidal hashmark structure gives the shooter ranging, windage, and elevation holds without dialing, which is critical for rapid multi-target engagement. In the Mk22 configuration the reticle is unilluminated: the program designates this as a day optic, and the decision removes one failure point while preserving compatibility with passive night-vision aids used in a clip-on configuration ahead of the scope.

The optical stack is ED glass with Nightforce's proprietary XC623 coatings applied to the air-to-glass surfaces, hand-matched through an optical indexing process at the Nightforce plant in Orofino, Idaho. The 34mm main tube is up to 3x the wall thickness of a standard 30mm scope tube — a specification written into the Mk22 program precisely because the optic is expected to survive repeated helicopter insertions, vehicle mounts, and rough handling under sustained field use.

This is the program optic, not a retail lookalike. For Mk22 ASR clone builders, this is the one piece you cannot substitute without breaking the build — and Nightforce does not release it on a predictable schedule. We've got these when we have them. Order yours today and we'll get it to you fast.
