Element Optics Helix 4-16x44 FFP APR-2D 0.1 MRAD 30mm Rifle Scope
If you want a compact, lightweight scope that still behaves like a proper long-range optic, the Element Optics Helix 4-16x44 FFP APR-2D 0.1 MRAD is one of the best “do-it-all” options in its class. It’s built around a 4–16x magnification range that keeps things versatile, whether you’re shooting closer targets or stretching distance without feeling over-scoped. The APR-2D MRAD first focal plane reticle gives you a clean but useful tree layout for fast holdovers and wind corrections, so you’re not constantly spinning turrets. You get solid fully multi-coated glass, a 30mm tube with plenty of adjustment, and a rugged build that’s waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof. The turrets are tool-free, tactile, and paired with a proper zero-stop, making it a very “set it and trust it” kind of optic. For the size, weight, and feature set, it’s one of those scopes that just quietly performs above what you’d expect.
-Nathan (Technical Advisor)
The latest addition to our lineup, the 4-16×44 Helix FFP offers all the brilliant features and rugged reliability that the 6-24×50 does, but with a distinct advantage: This is the lightest, most compact scope we have made to date.
We’ve aimed to keep things simple, but have focused on intuitive features and precision internals to give you peace of mind, whether you are cranking your turrets for a long shot, or following a deer through the trees at 4x magnification.
The ever-popular APR-2D family of reticles provides everything you need in a sensible layout, thanks to valuable input from experienced Pro Staff and customer feedback, and the 23.3 MRAD of internal elevation travel makes this a serious contender for long-range shooters needing an affordable, lightweight riflescope.
Don’t overlook the little guy – He punches well above his weight!
