Nightforce has given us a real treat. It’s not often we get to see government contract optics paired with the actual weapons they were procured to work with. Nightforce had three set ups depicting their USSOCOM wins for the Ranging – Variable Power Scope (R-VPS), Precision-Variable Power Scope (P-VPS), and Squad – Variable Power Scope (S-VPS) contracts. As you can see, all of the optics are Dark Earth color for these contracts.
First up is the SU-393/PVS R-VPS which is an ATACR 4-20×50 F1 and used as an enabler for the Knights Armament Co SR-25 in 6.5 Creedmoor.
Next, the SU-296/PVS P-VPS is an ATACR 7-35×56 F1 optic paired with the Barrett MRAD, known as the Mk22 Advanced Sniper Rifle within DoD.
Last but not least, the SU-294/VPS S-VPS is a 1-8×24 ATACR F1 optic and used in conjunction with the M4A1 carbine which is also equipped by SOCOM with the Geissele Upper Receiver Group Improved (URGI).
Can you link to larger versions of these pics because they are sweet
Those are the large versions. They’re like 3700 pixels wide.
All the photos in this article are 768 pixels wide when opened in a new tab?
Did you mean to link to larger versions and it didn’t come through? That’s been happening a lot on your articles.

Holy moly this is amazing. Thank you! I always thought it was something funky with my chrome browser setup
Great photos. Any ideas what’s the top cut in the KAC handguard for? It’s about the same place you would adjust a piston but this is a DI gun.
Adjustable gas block
Unless something has changed at KAC they don’t use adjust adjustable gas blocks. That looks identical to their normal DI has block with a threaded nut securing the gas tube to the gas block instead of a roll pin. For one reason or other KAC always places a small window in the rail over the gas block.
What Coyote stock is that, never seen it?
Be Safe,

Hey, not sure if you’ll see this but I think it should be SU-303/PVS, not SU-393/PVS (not sure if that was a typo).
