The Nikon Black Force 1-6 is a great value optic but how does it stack up to it’s more expensive competition?

I wonder when Kodak is gonna get into the optics game…
FFP?
I am tempted to get one of these. But I haven’t seen much on the durability. I’ve heard that Nikon though they make quality products they can be delicate. Your thought? @honestoutlaw
Man I love it, I got the bfs1000 n I hate the tirret caps but its an amazing scope..only bought it because like 3 guys at the store that day had that scope n said bro its awesome get it so I did. But I def want this new one
Nikon glass is so underrated. Especially with their involvement in the camera world if there’s one thing Nikon knows how to do right, it’s glass. And the Black line of optics are no exception and they actually feel pretty rugged too.
Is there a difference between the IL model and the standard 1-6?
Nikon Optics are no more. You can get what's left but they no longer make optics.
Hi,
How this optic is in comparison with the Vortex Viper PST Gen 2 since both of them are in the same price point ~ $600 dollars?
Just wanted to say I just found you on YouTube while researching what I should or would buy and love your channel thanks for keeping it honest and being thorough with your reviews.. I am a follower now as well!
Thought Nikon was not making scopes anymore?
I humbly respect your opinion, however there are few things to really consider that Nikon just does not have.
1st the Warranty, Nikon does not stand by their product enough to have a robust warranty. Companies such as Riton and Vortex stand by their products 100%.
2nd the Customer Service, Nikons customer service is below par when it comes to scopes and binoculars. I know first hand when I waited for a new scope replacement for 6 months due to a factory defect. In addition, every time I called, I was speaking to people that could barley understand me, nor I them.
3rd the company, Nikon was founded in Japan around 1917, so they have a huge lead on some of the other companies, however their nitch is cameras hands down.
4th military and police discounts, because the company is a Japanese company, I imagine they could care less about out military and police members and therefore do not offer a discount. Other companies such as Riton, Vortex, and Bushnell have discounts for our service members and police officers.
Personally, Rition Optics is the way yo go for affordability at all budgets to get quality glass.
Great gun work BTW,

Any plans on doing a review on the Holosun 512c ?
I found your review informative but i was wondering if you have ever tried Riton optics ? I have herd many good things about tyhem.
Have you shot a Shadow Systems MR920 yet and if so your thoughts? Thanks for the great vids.
I don't like any battle rifle with out irons.
I bought a Nikon 2-7 to put on a Remington 788 6mm probably ten or so years ago because I couldn't afford a Leupold at the time. I thought I would "upgrade" later on down the road. I still have that scope on that rifle and I've bought probably five or six more Nikon optics since. They're so rugged, precise and dependable that I never felt the need for a "higher quality" scope after that.
I've hit consistently at well over 500 yards in the canyon behind my house for years now with my savage 308 and I've never had to re-zero. Nikon delivers on optics as far as I'm concerned.
Do you even need sights up close? I mean… looking down the bore would be good enough imo.
Nikon was my favorite scope company. Now I would NEVER buy one again. It seems that the reason they got out of the firearm optics market because of PR.
I took your advice on that Black Force 1-4x (I got two on a great sale at Brownells) and have been in love with them ever since. I’ll be giving this one a try, for sure. Btw, I got a Black Force 6-24x for my son and that is pretty awesome, too. I’m sold!
Can we get a review on Primary Arms ACSS Raptor 1-6x? Just had our first kid so I’m on a strict budget
It's hard for me to buy something Chinese. When you have leupold that's American made
Enjoyed the video. Great to see an affordable but well made tactical scope with an illuminated reticle from a quality manufacturer. Too bad Nikon has decided to stop making rifle scopes. I'd favor the smaller, lighter and tougher Trijicon Compact ACOG 3×24 in any case.

Nikon are dropping shooting optics from their product line. So pointless buying anything from them
How is it compared to the burris rt-6?
The Review is Just inTime ! With Nikon leaving the sporting goods industry. A lot of people are going to be looking for reviews of budget price Nikon optics. Great stuff as always!
Dude!!! Your beards on fire!!!
I thought Nikon was out of the scope business.
What a piss poor management decision to discontinue rifle optics.
I just found out about these and wanted one, but I cannot support them due to this.
