Our verdict

A high-magnification hunting scope with a lit mil reticle. Mil marks in a second focal plane measure correctly at only a single power, so ranging by reticle needs the right setting.

Overview

A hunter shooting at longer distances gets a high zoom range, a reticle that lights up and a one inch tube here. The aluminum body mounts through a cantilever style mount and carries a lifetime warranty.

The wide zoom range and large objective suit long shots and dim light. The limitation is thin data: the listing gives no eye relief, adjustment travel or illumination battery type.

Who it's for

Rifles with one inch rings and shots that call for strong magnification. Short range hunting does not need this much zoom, and the narrower field of view at high power slows target acquisition.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • High maximum magnification
  • Illuminated mil reticle
  • Large objective lens
Cons
  • Eye relief not listed
  • Second focal plane limits mil use
  • No night vision

Performance notes

Higher magnification enlarges distant targets but also magnifies shooter movement and narrows the field of view. The larger objective gathers more light for dawn and dusk shots, and illumination helps the marks stand out against dark backgrounds.
