Overview

Built for hunters and shooters who want flexible magnification in a compact optic, this scope pairs a 4-12x range with a 40mm adjustable objective for use across changing distances. The mil-dot reticle supports holdover and windage references, while 1/4 MOA adjustments and parallax adjustment from 5 yards to infinity help with fine-tuning on target. It is described as fogproof, waterproof, and shockproof, with heavy-duty aluminum construction and a matte black finish. Mounting rings are not included, so setup will require compatible rings.

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Mounting rings are not included, so installation requires separate ring selection matched to the 1" tube.
  • The 40mm objective and 13.5" length may add some bulk compared with more compact scope setups.
  • The mil-dot reticle and 1/4 MOA clicks are useful for holdover and adjustment, but they require familiarity to use efficiently.
  • Adjustable objective and parallax adjustment from 5 yards to infinity add flexibility, but also mean more setup than a fixed-focus scope.
