Overview
The EP 5-25x56 is a first focal plane rifle scope with a 34mm tube, 0.1 MRAD turrets and a zero stop, aimed at long-range and competition shooters who want fine adjustment resolution over a wide magnification range.
Aquilifer builds the scope around Japanese ED glass and a 56mm objective lens, which the spec sheet says improves light transmission and reduces color fringing at high magnification, useful for a 5-25x scope run near its top end. The 34mm main tube gives more internal adjustment travel than the more common 30mm size, which matters for shooters dialing large elevation corrections at distance. It ships with rings not included, so budget for a separate mounting solution.
- 34mm one-piece tube for extended adjustment range
- 5-25x zoom with first focal plane reticle
- Illuminated reticle with multiple brightness settings
- Includes lens cover, CR2032 battery and cleaning cloth
Who it's for
Long-range and precision rifle shooters who want a first focal plane reticle and fine 0.1 MRAD clicks, and who are comfortable mounting rings separately. Reviewers used it on an AR10 .308 and a .30-06 bolt gun, suggesting it suits both semi-auto and bolt-action long-range setups, though buyers wanting a premium competition-grade optic note it stops short of that tier.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers report tight groups at distance, including one buyer covering five shots with a dime on an AR10 .308 after sighting in, and another running it successfully on a .30-06 bolt gun for hunting. Buyers describe the zoom and focus rings as smooth and the zero as staying put after dialing. More than one reviewer frames it as strong value rather than a premium competition scope.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- First focal plane reticle stays accurate at any zoom
- 0.1 MRAD turrets with a zero stop
- 56mm objective with Japanese ED glass for low light
- IPX7 waterproof, nitrogen-filled 34mm tube
- Scope rings are not included
- Heavier than a lightweight hunting scope at 35.27oz
- Reviewers call it good value, not premium-tier glass
Performance notes
The 5-25x zoom range and first focal plane reticle mean the reticle subtensions stay accurate at any magnification, which matters for holdover and ranging at distance. Turrets click in 0.1 MRAD increments with a zero stop, letting shooters return to a known zero after dialing for a shot. The body is nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to an IPX7 waterproof rating, and at 15.28 inches and 35.27oz it is built for sustained long-range use rather than lightweight hunting carry.
