USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- Nikon has just delivered shooters a long range rifle scope that will turn some heads for sure, and also save some money for the shooter in the process. The scope is the Nikon Black FX1000 Riflescope, and it is designed for up to one-mile shooting or more.

The test scope from Nikon arrived here at Ballistics Research & Development in western South Dakota during the late summer. As such the heavy summer rains had now passed and the prairie was prime in terms of freelance shooting, as in rolling across its endless miles of grass and rocky draws in search of usable test targets.

The Nikon FX 1000 is a scope designed expressly for long-range applications, and as such not the best choice as a hunting scope. The scope makes use of a larger 30 mm tube body, and as such is able to house more massive internal refined and delicate parts that tend to hold up better under field stress conditions when housed this way.
