An indepth look at the Nikon Black X0100 6-24x50mm SF IL X-MRAD optic with the CMMG Mk4 RCE and Bushmaster ACR 18.5″ DMR. The Black X1000 line is brand new for 2017 and features either a etched X-MRAD or X-MOA reticle in the second focal plane. This model also features an illuminated reticle.
We also look at the brand new Nikon Black cantilever AR mount and continue testing with the Atlas BT10 Bipod.

Maybe you can educate me. I have the the same Nikon MRAD scope in 4-16x. I thought the parallax was designated in Meters. After speaking with Nikon Support, they stated that the parallax markings are in yards even on the MRAD version of the scope. I was confused when reading page 19 of the manual so I figured I would just get clarification from them directly via email. I assumed the parallax numbers on the knob would correspond with yards on the MOA reticle and meters on the MRAD reticle, but it doesn't sound like that is true. Either that or I'm seriously confused…which is possible. I do still have the email response from them saying its yard markings on the MRAD scope. What do you think? Great review btw.
In Canada we use both. I use KMs for speed/long distance until roughly under 100M then I think in feet, then around 12" mark I think in centimeters until It gets down under one Inch then I switch back to 100ths1000ths of an Inch.
Do you know where the scope is made?
Yet another commercial. How about a scope test in this scope review? Tracking test maybe?
0.1 mils is .36 inches at 100 yards. ten clicks or one mil is 3.6 inches at 100 yards. One quarter moa is .261 inches at 100. 4 clicks or one MOA is 1.047 inches at 100 yards.
Mils vs MOA is akin to Chevy vs Ford. Both units of measure are angular sub-tensions and will achieve the exact same results. Neither is better or worse than the other. As long as your reticle and turrets are graduated in the same unit of measure (mil/mil or moa/moa) you're good to go.
Now that i'm all done pretending I'm smart (LOL), I do have a question for you.
How you rate this scope against the Bushnell engage?
your group sucks
If your American🇺🇲 id recommend you buy the MOA version, LOL!! We Americans are raised on Unit not Metric, look how long it takes the guy in the example above & unless you have yrs of Mil training or your a math genius, by the time you calculate whatever your aiming at it would be long long gone. Nice video on the Nikon X1000 I like mine alot, extremely clear glass!!
Can anyone clarify on this scope is it a true "Zero Stop" or do the turrets just reset to zero. I'm having a hard time finding it on Nikon or Optics planets website.
I just bought a browning xbolt # 2 stainless steel 270 caliber
Which one do you recommend monarch 5 or black x 1000?
Warranty on this scope and the electronic's in it are Lifetime.
You had the measurement worked out in metres using the scopes milrads and was converting from metres to yards where you said to minus 10% . Wrong way around. Add 10% for metres to yards and minus 10% for yards to metres. Just concerned someone will go shooting and work out a figure of 400 metres and minus 10% to get 360 yards instead of 440 yards and blow some poor deer's leg off.Simple mistake to make which is why you guys should join the rest of the world in metric where everything is easy to work out .Its a magical place where distances and volumes relate to each other in multiples of ten Ask yourself how may gallons there.are,in a cubic yard. Bet the answer isn't 1000 , which by the way is our answer to how many litres is in a cubic metre and a lot of other conversions . Sorry got a bit carried away , just an Aussie having fun. Cheers Craig
Great review but your conversion from meters to yards is back to front. 357 metres to yards is 357 plus 10% (metres are 10 % longer than yards so yard measurement of the same distance is always longer than meter measurement) or times 357meters by 1.1 equals 392 yards.
Any comments on the Nikon mount? I'm waiting on mine to be delivered, but this is the first time I've seen one that wasn't just a CAD rendering.
I just picked the 4-16 and would like to know how to set my zero at 100 yards. I know the turrets are spring reset to zero but how do I set my zero. I would be awesome if you could make a short video for that part of the scope.
Nice!!!
An FFL took an AR-15 apart to see how it works? Seriously? Bwahahahahahaha
