Overview
Built for hunters who want a straightforward riflescope for a range of field conditions, this 3-9x optic pairs a 40 mm objective with a second focal plane V-Plex (MOA) reticle for practical aiming on game. The capped turrets and 1/4 MOA adjustments keep the setup simple for zeroing and holdover corrections, while the 1-inch tube fits common mounting setups. With 3.8 inches of eye relief and a field of view that narrows from 37.2 to 12.4 feet at 100 yards, it suits both closer shots in cover and more deliberate work at distance. At 12.5 inches long and 16.2 ounces, it stays compact enough for a hunting rifle without adding unnecessary bulk.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- 3-9x magnification is a practical hunting range, but it is not intended for very close-up work or the higher magnification some shooters prefer for small targets at distance.
- The second focal plane V-Plex (MOA) reticle keeps the aiming point consistent in size, but holdover references do not scale with magnification.
- Capped turrets are a good fit for hunting carry and simple field use, though they are less convenient for frequent dialing than exposed target-style turrets.
- The 100-yard parallax setting is fixed, so it is a straightforward setup rather than a flexible option for varying distances.
