The Nightforce S-VPS LPVO Military Issue ATACR 1-8x Kit is a significant offering for those intrigued by the equipment utilized by the world's most elite military units. For enthusiasts who seek to replicate the operational setups of SOCOM operators and want a scope that delivers unfailing service, this Nightforce kit not only meets but is identical to military issue - a rare offering in the realm of civilian optics.
Replicating the gear of Special Forces down to the finest detail has always been challenging. Previously, commercial models differed subtly but significantly from their military counterparts in features and capabilities. With the release of the MILSPEC ATACR 1-8x24 S-VPS Kit, this chasm is bridged, allowing civilian users to experience an optic forged to the precise requirements of the USSOCOM, right from the specific reticle design to the quality of each component.
This Nighforce Military LPVO is fieled by operators, and in typical DOD fashion, there is an alphabet soup of letters that go with is, but the SU-294/VPS S-VPS is a 1-8×24 ATACR F1 optic and used in conjunction with the M4A1 carbine which is also equipped by SOCOM with the Upper Receiver Group Improved (URGI) with the Geissele forward rail and Surefire SOCOM muzzle device and suppressor.
Embedded in the ethos of the Nightforce S-VPS M630-1 Kit is the practical robustness expected from combat-ready gear. The optic alone has been tuned and tested to function flawlessly in adverse environments where consistency and reliability are not just preferred, they are imperative for the mission's success.
The Nightforce Mil Spec LPVO Kit just has that level of detail that aligns with the needs of a true operator. Each element of this kit is designed not just to survive but to function optimally in the diverse and often harsh environments where tactical operations occur.
Take for example the ruggedness of the 34mm tube. This hardened aluminum tube is central to the scope's resilience. Made from aircraft-grade aluminum, it offers a balance of lightweight carry and the sturdiness necessary to endure the mechanical stress of rapid movement and recoil. The scope's overall length of 10.1 inches and weight of 24 ounces reflect a careful blance of optical point and shoot clarity and the weight that necessarily brings with it, and the small footprint, ensuring it does not become a burden during extended carry or maneuvering in confined spaces.
The mounting system, critical to maintaining the scope's zero, is as precise as the scope itself. The Nightforce ULTRAMOUNT is cut from a single piece of aluminum, ensuring integrity and stability. Its height and dimensions are designed to enable rapid sight picture acquisition, aligning the optic with the user's eye in a natural, instinctive manner. The laser-etched markings on the mount provide the operator with clear indications for torque settings—a critical aspect during installation or when performing in-field adjustments.
The kit’s inclusion of flip-up lens caps addresses the necessity of swift engagement. Their tanned color offers an added element of visual discreteness, as well as durability and function: built to snap open instantly for rapid response, while also sealing effectively to protect the lens against contaminants.
An added bonus, the Magpul Pro Offset Sights act as a redundant back-up sighting system. These iron sights are designed for ease of deployment without obstructing the primary optic field of view.
While each component speaks to the thoroughness of military preparedness, the Torque Tool Field Kit stands out as a key aspect that might be overlooked. This tool underscores the significance of exactness in the world of Special Forces, where precision can mean the difference between mission failure and success. Such tools are essential for adjusting the scope with the ideal force, as the screw tightness directly affects the scope's performance and zero retention.
Last, the protective accessories, such as the padded coyote tan scope case, are made from materials selected for their protective qualities along with their ability to withstand the wear of deployment and retrieval from vehicles or packs. Each of these components is selected not only for robustness but also for their practical application in use scenarios an operator might face.
The T-8 is something unusual for a Horus reticle. It is an advanced aiming grid that allows for immediate holdover and windage adjustments - a tool previously inaccessible to civilian markets and the result of Nightforce’s partnership with advanced reticle designers for military applications. The T-8 is not quite like any Horus reticle you have experienced. Then again, this might be the first Tremor for an LPVO. The reticle was barely announced and many civilian shooters have commented that they like the horsehoe dot of the FC-DMX. That is to be expected. Tremor reticles have always had a large component that love them and those who prefer something less complex. While many Tremor reticles in the US Military are strictly day scopes and stay away from illumination, the Tremor 8 on the Nightforce S-VPS has an illuminated center..
At Charlie's Custom Clones, you know we are jazzed to open the box and share this with you. Charlie's did not make this happen, but Charlie knows the guys who know the guys who make things happen, and sometimes being outside of the spotlight, allows us to bring you all sorts of great surprises and militaty correct gear. We owe some big thank yous to some people we cannot mention, and also our industry partners and Nightforce for listening to our customers. Oh, did we mention the exclusivity? Only 300 of these scopes have been released to civilians. Buy two. LOL.
