Considerations & Trade-offs
- The magnification range is geared toward general hunting use rather than very close-range or high-magnification specialty applications.
- The 40 mm objective and 1-inch tube format may not suit shooters looking for a larger light-gathering setup or a different mounting profile.
- Eye relief changes across the magnification range, so stock fit and shooting position should be checked at the power settings you plan to use most.
- The CDS-ZL system is a feature to account for in setup and use, especially if you prefer a simpler, non-custom dialing approach.
