I do some shooting with the new Nikon 1-4x scope on several rifles and go over the scope, it’s features, it’s Speed Force reticle, and what I think of it overall.

Do you know what yardage the Parallax is set at
Great review and great info/insight on this scope. Thanks Mr G&G.
Thanks for the informative video. I might have missed it but how is the eye relief? I always find that Nikon is a good value but a bit short on the eye relief. Did you find this to be true?? Forgiving eye box?
@mrgunsngear why do you have a video for literally everything that I’m looking to purchase from Polytech legends to all of the scopes available for my ar15s? Jeez man time for a tv channel! Btw your awesome man
Help… probably been asked this a thousand times… Currently using a Vortex Strikefire II red dot on a Daniel Defense DDM4v9, 18" barrel, wanting to upgrade to variable scope . What magnification advise would you give for either 1-4x, 1-6x or 1-8x? Shooting at local range, 25 – 300 yd targets. Some limited amateur class 3-Gun.
I have one and it's a great scope. Extremely clear and very easy on the eyes. The only bad part is that the illumination SUCKS. Even on 10 which is the highest brightness you can barely see it.
Steiner P4xi is literally the only LPVO AR scope under $1000 you should consider. It's just too good for the money.
Great review and thorough as usaul. This scope is on my short list of my next 1×4.
Now would you take this over a Vortex Viper PST?
What are the rifles that you shot in this video?
What do you use to to whiten your teeth? Sooo bright!
Can I use this scope without removing my iron sight on Colt LE6920?
Would you say the glass is a little better than the PA1-6?
As always great review. Love the Spinal Tap reference. "Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and…"
What are your thoughts between this and the Steiner P4XI?
How does the eye box compare to the Viper PST 1-4?
As always your reviews are thorough and thoughtful. Very much appreciated! I wish the reticle was so busy but nice Nikon (Philippines) quality. Nikon also has a "No Fault Policy" Lifetime Warranty. As of today, Monday, July 31st Optics Planet has a 10% Coupon "SUMSAVE"
Burris RT6?
How does this compare to a VXR?
Any plans on reviewing the longer range versions of the Nikon Black line? I want to get into long range shooting either .308 or 6.5 creedmoor. Looking for a scope for under $700.
Just picked up an Eotech Vudu 1-6 power, and it's the closest to 1x I've ever seen. You have to focus on the irons, but once you do you can cowitness them to your reticle just as you would a red dot.
Would you say this is as good or better of an option than a Vortex 1-4x Viper?
Love the lever action shots. Nice trigger control.
Hood intro.
Just got my Nikon BF 1000 today and will pair it with an AD Recon mount on an AR-15 Carbine. I have not shot with it yet. The scope's glass is very, very clear, gathers light well, and the etched reticle is sharp. It is not worth $1500 to me to get "better" glass. The BDC lights up bright and crisp. The only objection I can see with the Nikon BF 1000 is if you don't care for the BDC reticle design. I like it so far but will make a definitive judgement once I get back from the range.
One way you can show clarity is use a camara lense testing background. Should be able to provide a positive feedback from 25-100yds.. Something to consider for sure since they would be easy to print or have printed on high quality paper.
I have the Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6×24 AR-BDC Reticle | 30mm and it was just $300. Seems like a much better deal than the Nikon Blackout. What say you Mr Gunsngear?
How would you say the focus holds up on this one while zooming? I have a cheap Vortex Crossfire II 1-4 knocking around that I have to re-focus if I change zoom at all (set it clear at max magnification, but it goes fuzzy really quickly if I zoom back out) and it's annoying the hell out of me…
I finally received the Steiner P4XI 1-4X "DEMO" i ordered from optics planet about a month ago, ( they emailed me that it was out of stock with NO ETA the day after i ordered it)and I was VERY happy to get it! I paid $322 shipped and it looks great, in box with everything and full warranty. THANK YOU for your review of it as that and the price I got is what sold me.My problem is I am going from an aimpoint PRO w/factory mount to a 1-4X scope with an AD RECON mount and I have never PROPERLY mounted a scope.My main concern is how to get the crosshair mounted "plumb" to the rifle.I have it mounted by eyeball for now but not zeroed. I can see how being a little out of "plumb" could cause problems zeroing the scope.Any help always appreciated and thanks again for helping me find TOP quality glass for way under $400 !!!!
over priced for budget quality. there is better glass out there for less
Nice handling on that Lever Action rifle
I like it ! I want to get rid of my red dot on my AR15 pistol build. It's more of a CQB build ,but gives me an option for range. I can't afford a Trijicon Acog unfortunately.
Thoughts on this vs the Steiner p4xi?
Do you by chance remember what the reticle is listed as in strelok pro? Can't find it anywhere, and it doesn't come up when using the search function.
the speed zero thing is cool
The fact that a variable won't co-witness has nothing to do with magnification. No variable scope will ever co-witness, even if it is a true 1X. The system has at least 4 lenses and it isn't feasible to focus on something as close as the front sight and a target hundreds of yards away at the same time. The same reason all variables still have limited eye relief even at 1X. Red dots/holo sights don't have lenses so they have infinite eye relief and will co-witness.
MOA/MRAD I happened to be in a LGS today and overheard a salesman say MOA was for ranging in inches and MRAD was for metric ranging. I soon departed.
What kryptec pants are you wearing
this or the primary arms? better clarity in the glass?
How would you compare this to the Vortex Strike Eagle or Bushnell AR series? For $399, I'd hope for a better scope than those other 2.
I think a better tell in that picture with your dog is that the edge of the revel doesn't line up
