Overview
A hunting rifle in changing light is where this variable power scope earns its place, with an etched reticle that glows in six brightness settings. Multi-coated lenses and a one-piece aluminum tube make up the optical body.
The reason to look is the illuminated reticle on a classic zoom range, backed by water repellent lens coatings. The limitation is that eye relief, turret values and the mount are not fully described.
Who it's for
Hunters at dawn and dusk who want a lit aiming point with a familiar zoom range can mount it on a rifle. Buyers who want night imaging or detailed turret specifications should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Etched into the glass
- Water repellent coating
- One-piece aluminum tube
- Eye relief not listed
- Turret values not listed
- Mount type needs confirming
Performance notes
The reticle is etched into the glass, so it stays fixed in the image, and the brightness setting is raised or lowered with the light. Multi-coated lenses raise contrast, and the water repellent coating clears rain and fog. The sealed one-piece tube is designed to resist moisture.
