For decades, shooters have trusted Nikon for their innovative optical solutions, and the P-TACTICAL series continues this tradition by offering purpose-built optics for specific platforms. The P-TACTICAL Rimfire 2-7x32 stands out as a dedicated solution for .22LR, .17 HMR, .22 WMR, and other rimfire calibers, recognizing their distinct ballistic characteristics. This focus ensures that every feature, from the proprietary glass to the versatile MK 1 MOA reticle, is optimized to give you a decisive advantage in the field or at the range.

Unrivaled Optical Clarity: See Your Target with Pinpoint Precision

What truly sets a superior riflescope apart is its ability to transmit light and render a clear, crisp image, even in challenging conditions. The Nikon P-TACTICAL Rimfire 2-7x32 excels in this crucial aspect, benefiting from Nikon's proprietary glass and advanced multi-coating technology.

• Superior Glass Elements: Nikon’s commitment to optical perfection is evident in the quality of the glass used. These precisely ground and polished lenses minimize distortion and chromatic aberration, ensuring that the image you see through the scope is bright, true-to-color, and incredibly sharp from edge to edge. This clarity is essential whether you're aiming at a distant target or identifying a small squirrel camouflaged against a tree trunk.
• Full Multi-Coating Technology: Every air-to-glass surface within the Nikon P-TACTICAL Rimfire scope is treated with multiple layers of anti-reflective compounds. What does this mean for your shooting experience?
  • Enhanced Light Transmission: More light reaches your eye, resulting in a brighter sight picture, especially critical during dawn or dusk, or when shooting in heavily shaded areas.
  • Reduced Glare and Internal Reflections: Multi-coatings virtually eliminate distracting glare and internal reflections, which can obscure your target and cause eye strain.
  • Improved Contrast and Color Fidelity: Objects appear sharper with greater distinction between light and shadow, and colors are rendered faithfully, aiding in target acquisition and identification.

This combination of premium glass and advanced coatings provides a vivid, high-contrast sight picture that empowers you to make precise shot placements, no matter the lighting conditions. You won't just see the target; you'll see the details that matter for accurate aiming.

The Power of Versatility: 2-7x Magnification Range and 32mm Objective

The 2-7x magnification range offered by this scope is perfectly suited for the typical engagement distances of rimfire rifles.

• 2x Magnification: Provides a wide field of view, making it ideal for rapid target acquisition at close ranges, tracking moving targets, or navigating dense brush while hunting. It also minimizes target wobble, making off-hand shots easier.
• 7x Magnification: Offers sufficient power for detailed target identification and precise aiming at extended rimfire distances, such as 75-100 yards, without over-magnifying and introducing excessive mirage or atmospheric distortion.

The 32mm objective lens strikes an excellent balance between light-gathering capability and a compact, lightweight profile. It allows ample light into the scope for bright images while keeping the overall scope size manageable, preventing it from feeling bulky on smaller rimfire rifles. This thoughtful design ensures your rifle remains agile and easy to handle.

Precision Aiming with the MK 1 MOA Reticle: Your Guide to Accuracy

At the heart of any precision riflescope is its reticle, and the Nikon P-TACTICAL Rimfire 2-7x32 features the purpose-driven MK 1 MOA Reticle. This Second Focal Plane (SFP) reticle is designed for intuitive use and consistent performance across the magnification range.

• Understanding MOA: MOA (Minute of Angle) is an angular unit of measure commonly used in shooting. One MOA subtends approximately 1.047 inches at 100 yards. The MK 1 MOA reticle features clear hash marks and stadia lines calibrated in MOA increments, allowing for precise holdovers and windage corrections without touching the turrets. This is particularly useful for rimfire ballistics, which often involve significant bullet drop over distance.
• Second Focal Plane (SFP) Design: With an SFP reticle, the reticle itself remains a constant size as you change magnification. While the subtensions (the distance covered by the reticle marks) are only accurate at a specific magnification (typically the highest setting, 7x, for this scope), this design offers advantages for rimfire applications:
  • Consistent Target Appearance: The target image grows larger or smaller with magnification, but the reticle appears consistent, which many shooters prefer for general hunting and plinking where speed and simplicity are key.
  • Easy to See Reticle: Even at lower magnifications, the reticle lines remain thin and easily visible, unlike some FFP reticles that can become almost invisible at their lowest power settings.
• Purpose-Driven Design: The MK 1 MOA reticle provides clean, unobstructed views of your target while offering the necessary reference points for bullet drop compensation and windage adjustments. This makes it ideal for engaging various targets at different distances quickly and efficiently. For example, if you've practiced and know your .22LR drops 5 MOA at 75 yards, you can simply use the 5 MOA hash mark below your crosshairs to make a precise shot without adjusting your turrets.

Ergonomic Excellence and Unwavering Durability: Built for the Field

Nikon's century of optical craftsmanship extends beyond just glass; it encompasses robust mechanical design and user-centric ergonomics. The P-TACTICAL Rimfire scope is engineered to withstand the rigors of the outdoors while remaining incredibly user-friendly.

• Optimized Knurling on Turrets and Zoom Rings: The tactile experience of operating a scope in the field is paramount. The P-TACTICAL features ergonomically designed knurling on both the adjustment turrets and the zoom ring. This isn't just for aesthetics; it provides a positive grip, allowing for comfortable and precise adjustments even when wearing gloves, when your hands are wet, or in cold conditions. You can feel the distinct clicks of the turrets and smoothly transition through the magnification range without fumbling.
• Robust 1-Inch Tube Diameter: The 1-inch (25.4mm) main body tube is a widely accepted standard, providing an excellent balance of strength, weight, and compatibility with a vast array of available mounting rings. This robust construction contributes significantly to the scope's overall durability and shock resistance.
• Fixed Parallax Setting: For rimfire applications, a fixed parallax setting is often preferred due to the typical engagement distances. The P-TACTICAL Rimfire 2-7x32 features a fixed parallax, typically set for distances common to rimfire shooting (e.g., 50 yards). This eliminates the need for parallax adjustment, simplifying the scope's operation and making it faster to get on target, especially for new shooters or those who prefer a "set it and forget it" approach.
• Weatherproof Performance: Waterproof, Fogproof, Shockproof: This scope is built to perform reliably in any environment you encounter.
  • Waterproof: O-ring sealed to prevent moisture from entering the scope, ensuring it remains functional even when exposed to heavy rain, snow, or accidental submersion.
  • Fogproof: Nitrogen purged and hermetically sealed to prevent internal fogging caused by rapid temperature changes or humidity. This means your sight picture remains clear whether you move from a warm vehicle into cold, damp air, or from a cool forest into a humid swamp.
  • Shockproof: Constructed to withstand the recoil of rimfire rifles and the inevitable bumps and knocks that occur during field use. The robust internal components are precisely aligned and secured to maintain their integrity and hold zero, even after repeated impacts.
• Spring Loaded Instant Zero Reset Turrets: This innovative feature is a game-changer for quick adjustments and maintaining your preferred zero. After sighting in your rifle, simply lift the spring-loaded adjustment knob, rotate it back to "zero," and then re-engage it. This allows for quick, tool-free return to your original zero point after making temporary field adjustments for different ranges or wind conditions. It’s an invaluable feature that saves time and boosts confidence in your ability to return to your established baseline zero instantly.
• Matte Black Finish: The non-reflective matte black finish helps prevent glare and reflections that could spook game or give away your position. It also provides a sleek, professional aesthetic that complements any rimfire rifle.
