Overview

Built for open-country shooting and longer shots, this optic is aimed at hunters who need a clear view of small, distant targets without an overly busy sight picture. The WideRange Plex reticle uses thinner crosshairs to reduce obstruction, which can help keep attention on fine details when precision matters. With 6-18x magnification, a 50 mm objective, and a second focal plane design, it offers a flexible setup for dialing in at range while keeping the reticle presentation straightforward. Capped turrets and a 30 mm tube round out a practical package for serious field use where controlled adjustments and clarity are priorities.

Pros

  • 6-18x magnification supports flexible use from closer shots to extended-range viewing.
  • 50 mm objective lens gathers a broad image for clearer target acquisition.
  • WideRange Plex reticle uses thinner crosshairs to reduce obstruction on small targets.
  • Second focal plane reticle keeps the WideRange Plex aiming point consistent in size.
  • 30 mm tube with capped turrets and 1/4 MOA adjustments offers precise dialing.
  • Parallax adjustment from 10 yards supports use across varied shooting distances.

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • The 6-18x magnification range is geared toward longer shots, so it is less versatile than lower-power optics for close-in or fast-moving game.
  • The second focal plane reticle keeps the WideRange Plex consistent in appearance, but it does not provide the same ranging behavior across magnification levels as a first focal plane design.
  • Capped turrets favor a more protected, hunting-oriented setup, but they are less convenient for frequent on-the-fly elevation or windage changes.
  • At 22.6 oz. and 13.9" long, it adds noticeable size and weight compared with lighter, more compact scopes.
