Overview

Built for demanding long-range shooting, this scope is aimed at hunters and precision shooters who need a clear sight picture and usable holdover information at extended distances. Its HD optical system, XR Plus fully multi-coated lenses, and first focal plane EBR-7D MOA reticle are designed to support target identification, ranging, and wind holds without crowding the view. The L-Tec+ Zero Stop System with micro-adjust dial adds a practical return-to-zero feature for repeatable dialing. With its rugged field-oriented build and 6-36x magnification range, it suits setups where clarity, adjustment control, and fast follow-up corrections matter most.

Pros

  • 6-36x magnification supports flexible target engagement across a wide range of distances.
  • 56mm objective lens and premium HD glass are specified for a bright, detailed image.
  • XR Plus fully multi-coated air-to-glass surfaces maximize light transmission.
  • First focal plane EBR-7D MOA reticle maintains proportional subtensions at all magnifications.
  • L-Tec+ Zero Stop System with micro-adjust dial supports a rapid return to zero.
  • Lockable illumination dial on the left side of the turret housing adds controlled adjustment access.

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • The 6-36x magnification range is well suited to long-range work, but it is more specialized than a lower-power optic for closer, faster target acquisition.
  • At 56mm, the objective size supports the scope’s long-range optical focus, but it also makes the optic a larger presence on the rifle.
  • The FFP EBR-7D reticle provides holdovers and ranging information at all magnifications, which is useful for precision shooting, but the sight picture is more information-rich than a simpler reticle.
  • The illuminated reticle and lockable illumination dial add control, but they also introduce another setting to manage in the field.
