Nightforce Optics in Orofino, Idaho, manufactures riflescopes and other high-precision optics for the military special forces, law enforcement agencies, serious competitive shooters and hunters who need the most dependable and best performing optics.
Scott Johnson, quality manager for Nightforce Optics, said that 100 percent of the company’s products undergo a 70-point quality checklist that tests and verifies that each product meets the highest standards for quality and functional accuracy before leaving the facility.
“Riflescopes have a wide range of precision mating parts that are all crucial to the accuracy and performance of each product,” said Johnson. “For example, our scope body tubes are made from aerospace aluminum bar stock and machined by specially designed CNC multi-spindle lathes. We also use complicated multiple start thread designs with very tight tolerances in adjustment parts that require thorough inspections using custom made calibrated gages to ensure precision in each moving part.
