Uncompromised Optical Clarity and Performance

At the heart of the ATACR 7-35x56mm's exceptional performance lies its fully multi-coated ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass. This advanced optical system is not just a specification; it's a commitment to an unparalleled visual experience.

• Superb Light Transmission: The meticulous multi-coating process applied to every glass surface maximizes light throughput, resulting in a remarkably bright image, even in twilight or low-light conditions when game is most active or competitive stages are dimly lit. This ensures you can discern targets and subtle details long after other optics have faded.
• Brilliant Images and Exceptional Color Contrast: ED glass specifically targets and corrects chromatic aberration – the common optical flaw that causes color fringing. The result is an image that is strikingly clear, with true-to-life color reproduction and outstanding contrast. This means targets stand out vividly against their background, aiding in rapid identification and precise aim.
• Edge-to-Edge Sharpness: From 7x to 35x magnification, the image remains consistently sharp and clear across the entire field of view, eliminating distortion or blurriness at the periphery. This holistic clarity is crucial for maintaining situational awareness and precisely judging distances and wind conditions.
• Generous 56mm Objective Lens: This large objective gathers a tremendous amount of light, further enhancing brightness and resolution, particularly at higher magnifications where exit pupil size becomes a factor.

Whether you're counting elk tines at 1000 yards or observing bullet impacts on a small steel plate from afar, the optical performance of the ATACR 7-35x56mm ensures you miss nothing.

Precision Engineering: Turrets, Adjustments, and Features

Nightforce is synonymous with mechanical precision, and the ATACR 7-35x56mm exemplifies this heritage with a suite of features designed for unfailing accuracy and user convenience.

• Hi-Speed ZeroStop: A hallmark of Nightforce innovation, the Hi-Speed ZeroStop mechanism revolutionizes dialing adjustments. After establishing your zero, you can set a positive mechanical stop. This allows for rapid, confident dialing of elevation corrections for distant targets, knowing you can always return precisely to your original zero by simply rotating the turret counter-clockwise until it stops. This feature is invaluable in dynamic shooting scenarios where speed and accuracy are critical, eliminating the risk of getting lost on your elevation turret.
• Precise .1 Mil-Radian (mrad) Adjustments: The ATACR 7-35x56mm utilizes .1 mrad click values for its turrets. This precise increment provides fine-tuned adjustments, allowing shooters to dial in exact corrections for bullet drop and windage. Each click is tactile and audible, providing positive feedback and ensuring confident, repeatable adjustments.
• Massive Adjustment Range:
  • Elevation: 29 mrad: This generous elevation travel is a game-changer for extreme long-range shooting. It provides ample room to dial for bullet drop even at distances exceeding a mile with many calibers, often minimizing the need for complex holdovers on the reticle.
  • Windage: 18 mrad: Sufficient windage adjustment ensures you can compensate for even significant crosswinds, keeping your shots on target.
  • 12 mrad Per Revolution: Each full rotation of the elevation turret accounts for 12 mrad of adjustment. This high amount of adjustment per revolution means fewer rotations are needed to reach extreme distances, simplifying the dialing process and reducing the chance of miscounting revolutions.
• Integrated Throw Lever: Located on the magnification ring, this integrated lever allows for rapid, fluid changes in magnification. Whether you need to quickly zoom out for a wider field of view or instantly zoom in for a precise shot, the throw lever makes transitions seamless, saving valuable time in competitive or hunting situations.
• Xtreme Speed Thread: This innovative threading system on the eyepiece allows for exceptionally fast and precise diopter adjustments to achieve optimal reticle focus for your eye. It ensures a crisp, sharp reticle image instantly, which is critical for maximizing clarity and reducing eye strain during extended use.
• Parallax Adjustment: 45 yards - infinity: The side parallax adjustment knob allows shooters to eliminate parallax error across a vast range of distances, from intermediate close-ups at 45 yards to the truly infinite. This ensures the reticle and target are on the same focal plane, eliminating apparent reticle shift when the shooter's eye position moves slightly, crucial for pinpoint accuracy at any range.
• DigIllum Reticle Illumination: The advanced DigIllum system provides precise digital control over the reticle illumination. With a wide range of intensity settings, you can tailor the reticle's brightness to suit any lighting condition, from bright daylight to deep twilight, ensuring optimal visibility without washing out the target. The system also includes an auto-off feature to conserve battery life.

The Power of the First Focal Plane (FFP) Reticle

The Nightforce ATACR 7-35x56mm features a First Focal Plane (FFP) reticle, a non-negotiable choice for serious long-range work.

• Consistent Subtensions: In an FFP design, the reticle scales proportionally with the magnification. This means that your reticle's ranging capabilities, holdover values, and windage subtensions remain accurate and true at any magnification setting. There's no need to remember a specific magnification to use your reticle's markings effectively.
• Versatile Ranging and Holdovers: The ATACR line offers a choice of illuminated MOA or Mil-based ranging reticles (like the Mil-C, Mil-XT, or MOAR-T, depending on the specific model and user preference). These sophisticated reticles provide precise hash marks for measuring targets, applying holdovers for elevation, and compensating for windage without touching the turrets – an invaluable capability for rapid engagements or when dialing isn't feasible. The .1 mrad turret adjustments perfectly complement the Mil-based reticles, simplifying calculations.
