Nighteagle V8 2.5-20×56 NFX Supershort DDoptics riflescope - The hunting optics with the largest range
Significant progress in terms of Accuracy, versatility and brightness is the new Nighteagle V8 DDoptics 2.5-20×56 Supershort Hunting riflescope.
This Outstanding optical product is the result of a successful German-Japanese co-operationwhich combines the best features of the renowned NFX riflescopes and the DDMP series. It was specially developed for Demanding hunters who do not want to accept any compromises.
Riflescope Nighteagle V8 | What does "V8" actually mean in relation to a riflescope optic and what does this designation mean at DDoptics?
The labelling "V8" in a telescopic sight stands for the Magnification range, which is often referred to as "zoom" in English. The "V" stands for "magnification", while the Number "8" the factor eight represents.
In clear terms, this means that the highest magnification setting of the riflescope magnified eight times as much as the lowest SettingAlignment in binoculars refers to the parallel alignment of the two halves of the binoculars. " More info.
In other words, the maximum MagnificationThe magnification of a binocular model is perhaps the most misunderstood feature. High magnification can be useful! " More info is eight times the minimum magnification. This labelling is very important as it directly indicates the versatility and possible applications of the riflescope.
A larger zoom range, as is the case with the V8 aiming optics This considerably extends the usability of the riflescope. This allows hunters and sport shooters to adapt flexibly to different distances and hunting situations, from close-up targets to distant targets.
However, a larger zoom range also poses certain technical challenges with it. In the ComparisonDifference and comparison between Porro prisms and roof prisms The design of binoculars is always determined by the type of prism used. Porro prism in binoculars Binoculars with a porro prism design can be recognised by their relatively low height and wide design. Advantage: The greater distance between the two lenses promotes spatial vision. A graphic illustration and further details on the design of porro prisms can be found here! Roof prism with " More info Compared to scopes with a smaller zoom factor such as V4 or V6, a V8 scope requires a higher zoom factor. more complex technical StructureThe different types of DDoptics binoculars Binoculars can be divided into two main types according to their basic construction: Construction with roof prism (different types of construction) or with Porro prism. Both designs have their unique advantages and disadvantages. In principle, Porro and roof prism binoculars can offer the same performance depending on the type of glass (BAK 4, crown glass, etc.), the amount of coating required and the manufacturing quality. The details decide whether they are good binoculars or not. " More info.
This can affect both the price and certain aspects of quality. However, with the 2.5-20×56 NFX Supershort model, DDoptics has managed to optimise the technical features up to the maximum utilisation to optimise the purchase price and reduce it to a minimum.
In summary, a V8 riflescope from DDoptics for maximum flexibility and versatility, where hunters and sport shooters can rely on advanced optics technology designed specifically for demanding hunting and shooting conditions.

The riflescope is characterised by an exceptionally wide Parallax compensationIf a shooter does not look "straight" but "diagonally" through the telescopic sight eyepiece, an aiming error occurs - the so-called parallax. " More info which can be adjusted down to 10 metres. This enables precise focussing of additional devices or eyepiece solutions at any magnification setting. This proves particularly advantageous when using high-quality thermal imaging accessories with high-resolution screens, as a magnification of up to 20x is possible without any problems.

Riflescope optics with minimal stray light for a clear view against the light
An often underestimated feature of riflescopes is how they deal with stray light. The DDoptics V8 riflescope has been specifically developed to effectively minimise stray light.
This is particularly crucial when it comes to backlit situations. While many competitor products often only offer a blurred image, the 2.5-20×56 NFX provides a clear one, unclouded vision without distracting reflections and glare.
This feature makes it an indispensable tool for hunters who want to aim precisely and safely even under the most difficult backlight conditions.
Focus on precision and extended adjustment options
During the development of the Riflescope Nighteagle V8 DDoptics 2.5-20×56 Supershort, special attention was paid to precision and extensive adjustment options. A central aspect of this riflescope is its highly developed reticle adjustment.
The two adjustment towers are made of metal, which guarantees robustness and durability. To improve handling, these towers have been significantly enlarged to enable precise and reliable adjustment even under difficult conditions or when wearing gloves.
One Remarkable features of the reticle adjustment are the Zerostop and the Doubleturn function. The Zerostop allows the user to quickly and easily reset the adjustment to a predefined zero position, which is particularly useful in stressful hunting situations.
Doubleturn means that the turret has two different coloured scales, with the yellow scale continuing the white scale in the next turn. This allows the turrets to be adjusted by 20 Mrad without complicated rethinking (simple continuation in the yellow scale).
The precision of the adjustment is reflected in the extremely cleanly defined clicks. Each click corresponds to a Adjustment of 0.1 MRAD, which enables extremely precise fine adjustment. The subdivision on the tower is designed so that 10 clicks to an MRAD and a full rotation of the tower covers 10 MRAD. This clear and intuitive division facilitates quick and precise adjustment to different distances.
The exceptional flexibility of this riflescope is also reflected in its adjustment range. The shooter can adjust the reticle by up to 3 turns of the turret.
This results in an impressive total adjustment range of 30 MRAD, which corresponds to 100 MOA or 300 clicks. This extended adjustment range makes the DDoptics 2.5-20×56 V8 a true long-range riflescope.
It enables extremely long-range shots with a precision that is often not found in conventional hunting riflescopes.
