True 1x speed - Lockable Turret - Zero Stop - Rotational Indicator
The Continental X6 1–6×28 FFP Tactical LPVO is designed for shooters who demand speed at close range and accuracy as distance increases.
Built around a true 1× optical system and a First Focal Plane reticle, it allows fast engagement while keeping holds and corrections consistent across the magnification range.
With a 34 mm monotube, zero stop and turret lock, it’s engineered for tactical and dynamic shooting where reliability matters.

The Continental line is Vector Optics premium line up of scopes that can compete well above their price point. The combination of a German optics system using LaREE lenses and VePRO FMC mean that the Continental scopes can have more than 90% light transmission.
True 1× for Fast, Two-Eyes-Open Shooting
At true 1× magnification, the scope delivers a natural sight picture that allows both-eyes-open shooting, ideal for close-range and dynamic engagements. Constant 4" eye relief means no matter what magnification you set the Continental to you can maintain your shooting position for maximum accuracy.
First Focal Plane Reticle Control
The FFP etched reticle scales with magnification, keeping holdover and ranging marks accurate across the entire zoom range — especially useful when transitioning between distances.
Illuminated Etched BDC Reticle
Reticle illumination improves visibility against dark or complex backgrounds, while remaining precise and controlled for tactical use. The intuitive reticle compensates for bullet drop for precise speed shooting. Ideal for small game hunting and CQB scenarios.
34 mm Monotube Advantage
The extra-large 34 mm tube increases internal adjustment range while maintaining a lightweight, well-balanced build — a key advantage over standard 30 mm LPVOs.
Zero Stop & Turret Lock
A zero stop allows instant return to your preset zero, while the turret lock prevents unwanted changes during movement or transport.
Premium Continental-Series Optics
German Schott HT glass, LaREE lenses and VePRO fully multi-coated optics deliver high clarity, contrast and brightness, with up to 90% light transmission.

Q: What makes this different from SFP 1–6× LPVOs?
A: The FFP reticle scales with magnification, keeping holdovers accurate at all zoom levels, while the 34 mm tube provides greater adjustment range.
Q: What is the benefit of true 1×?
A: True 1× allows natural, distortion-free shooting with both eyes open, similar to a red dot.
Q: Why choose a 34 mm LPVO?
A: A 34 mm tube offers increased internal adjustment and mechanical stability without excessive weight.
Q: Does the scope support dialing as well as holding?
A: Yes — it features MRAD adjustments, a zero stop for repeatable dialing, and a turret lock for security.
Q: Is this suitable for hunting as well as tactical use?
A: Yes, particularly for small game or dynamic hunting scenarios, though it is primarily optimised for tactical shooting.
Q: What does First Focal Plane (FFP) mean in practical use?
A: In an FFP scope, the reticle scales with magnification, so all holdover and ranging marks stay accurate at any zoom level. This allows you to hold or range confidently whether you’re at 1×, 3× or 6×.
Q: Why is FFP useful in a 1–6× tactical rifle scope?
A: On a tactical LPVO, FFP allows consistent reticle references when transitioning quickly between distances. You don’t need to be on a specific magnification to use holdovers, which is valuable in dynamic or time-pressured shooting.
Q: Is the reticle suitable for close-range shooting at 1×?
A: Yes. At true 1×, the reticle remains easy to pick up and works well for two-eyes-open shooting, while still providing structure for precise aiming if needed.
Q: How does the BDC-style reticle help the shooter?
A: The BDC layout provides reference points for bullet drop, allowing faster corrections at distance without complex calculations. This is particularly useful for shooters engaging targets across mixed distances.
Q: Is the reticle illuminated, and how is it used?
A: Yes. The reticle features multiple illumination levels, helping maintain visibility against dark or cluttered backgrounds and in low-light conditions. Illumination enhances visibility but does not replace the etched reticle.
Q: Does illumination affect precision?
A: No. The illumination is designed to highlight the aiming point without overwhelming the sight picture, allowing precision aiming at higher magnifications and fast acquisition at lower power.
Q: Can the reticle be used for ranging and wind holds?
A: Yes. Because it’s an FFP reticle with consistent subtensions, it can be used for basic ranging, wind holds and elevation holds at any magnification.
Q: What happens if the battery fails?
A: The reticle is etched into the glass, so it remains fully usable even without illumination.
Q: Who is this reticle best suited for?
A: Shooters who want:
-
Fast engagement at close range
-
Consistent holdovers across magnification
-
Tactical or dynamic shooting capability
-
A modern LPVO with precision features
