Overview

Built for shooters who want a single optic that can cover both rimfire work and longer-range dialing, this first focal plane scope offers a wide 5-25x magnification range and a 56mm objective. The 25-yard minimum parallax and 32 mils of elevation travel make it adaptable for a broad mix of distances, while the APLR3 MIL reticle supports precise hold and adjustment use. HD glass and fully multi-coated lenses are included to improve target visibility, and the zero stop plus capped windage turret add practical control when returning to zero. It is a strong fit for hunters and precision-minded shooters who value flexibility and repeatable setup over a simpler, lower-feature optic.

Pros

  • First focal plane design supports consistent reticle use across the magnification range.
  • 5-25x magnification offers flexibility for close-range rimfire and long-range shooting.
  • 56mm objective and HD glass with fully multi-coated lenses.
  • 25-yard minimum parallax adds versatility for nearer-distance applications.
  • 32 mils of elevation travel provides substantial adjustment range.
  • Zero Stop and capped windage turret support repeatable return to zero.

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • The 5-25x magnification range is geared toward precision work, so it is less specialized for fast, close-in hunting use than lower-power optics.
  • The 56mm objective and long-range feature set add size and weight considerations compared with more compact scopes.
  • The capped windage turret supports a cleaner setup, but it also means windage adjustments are not as immediately accessible in the field.
  • The 25-yard minimum parallax adds versatility for rimfire and closer work, though it still reflects a scope designed primarily around precision shooting rather than general-purpose hunting optics.
