Overview
Built for long-range shooting, this first focal plane riflescope is aimed at hunters and precision shooters who want a feature-rich optic for dialing distance. The illuminated APRS6 IR MIL reticle supports low-light use, while the revamped turret system includes a locking windage turret and a true zero stop on elevation for more controlled adjustments. Extra dispersion ED lenses are included to provide a sharp, color-rich image, and the 34mm tube is described as capable of handling harsh conditions. It is a substantial optic, so it suits rifles and setups intended for deliberate, extended-range work rather than a lightweight carry role.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 4.5-30x magnification range is well suited to long-range work, but it may be more scope than needed for shorter-distance or general-purpose hunting setups.
- The 56mm objective and 34mm tube support a larger optic profile, so mounting and rifle balance may require more attention than with a lighter, lower-profile scope.
- As a first focal plane scope, the reticle’s apparent size changes with magnification, which is useful for ranging and holdovers but can feel busy at higher power to some users.
- The locking windage turret and zero-stop elevation system add control, but they also introduce more turret features to manage compared with simpler hunting scopes.
