I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that's a counterfeit. Here's another counterfeit with the same serial number:

Whoa… fake NF’s are a thing??? Damn. Gonna start checking serial numbers!

hmmmmmmm no way. How do i confirm that

 

[iflyskyhigh]

You have the box and all the stuff that came with it?

I’d assume you can call or email NF. They usually respond within a day.

No its came without a box, but the dude has SOLID feedback on TS.

Guy you bought it from might not have known it was fake...if it is fake. Do you have any other NF's to compare it too? Never seen a fake NF. But fakes usually visually look good, but as soon as you pick them up and compare them to the real thing it's readily apparent they are not the same build quality. Take the turrets off and look at the zero stops and internals. I guess they could duplicate the real NF stuff, but I'd guess they are not the same.

It feels and looks real which is crazy. Ive owned many and could not tell.. I’m comparing to another right now and i cant notice any differences. Wild.

Yeah tons of fakes that look legit. The power throw lever with out “Nightforce” is a dead giveaway.

 

[K.PC]

Yup this one doesnt have it…who the fuck makes these

 

[EM_556]

China is making them. Go on eBay and you will find them anywhere from $400-1000 for the fakes, if they are still there. No box is a red flag for these.

Please don’t delete this thread. There’s some good information here for people shopping used NF’s. I had no idea there were good fakes until just now.

 

[K.PC]

For sure

Just a quick glance at it and I could tell. Two things stick out. One - no nightforce markings in the throw lever (should be at the top of it in a circle). Two - the bottom screw is a Phillips head instead of a Torx screw.

I bet the weight is off as well as the finish. I would get my money back from either the guy from TS or chargeback that purchase.

What’s TS?

I don’t have an ATACR 1-8, but I have a NXS 1-8 and a dozen other NF’s of almost every variation.

None of the markings on the bottom of my optics look anything like this.

Is this what the markings on a real ATACR 1-8 look like?

Is there a little screwed in door on the bottom of the ATACR 1-8? NX8 1-8 doesn’t have that.

 

[Cutout]

I have a couple. The markings and the plate with the screw are correct, but the screw is not (should be a torx).
