Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 1-4x magnification range is built for close- to mid-range use, so it does not offer the reach of higher-power optics for longer shots.
- The 24 mm objective keeps the scope compact, but it also means less light-gathering than larger objectives in low-light conditions.
- The second focal plane reticle means the reticle’s subtensions are not constant across magnification, so holdover use depends on the chosen power setting.
- Capped turrets favor a simpler, more protected setup, but they are less convenient for frequent on-the-fly dialing than exposed target-style turrets.
Suggested Comparisons

- Fixed-power hunting scope

Suggested Accessories
