Nikon announces an expanded level of performance and capability to its flagship tactical optics line with its new BLACK FORCE100 riflescope.

The new gun at SHOT 2019 was the MP-5. Importers and American companies are supplying clones and new AR pistol caliber carbines now run MP-5 magazines. Quarter Circle 10 (QC10) and Strike Industries (SI) are at the front of that movement and plug the excellent MP-5 magazine into the All-American AR to make a world-class 9mm carbine.

Nikon’s new Black Force 100 rifle scope is a worthy consideration. It’s simple to use but has all the features you’re looking for in a tactical scope, and the new mount to match is excellent as well.

When it comes to long-range competition, the automatic assumption is that you need a riflescope that’s equal or greater in cost to most people’s house payment in order to compete. While you can certainly go that route, there’s also a lot to be said about budget-friendly glass that’s still more than qualified to take on the benchmark 1,000-yard shot. A case in point is Nikon’s new Black X1000, a scope engineered from the ground up to tackle the precision rifle game.
