The Vector Optics Forester 1-5x24 is a premium low-power variable optic (LPVO) designed for fast target acquisition and crystal-clear performance at close to mid-range.
Featuring true 1x magnification, this riflescope allows for both-eyes-open shooting, greatly improving situational awareness in dynamic environments.
Equipped with a fibre centre dot reticle in the second focal plane, it offers excellent target visibility with six illumination settings, ideal for everything from low light to direct sunlight. The motion-sensing auto-off feature helps preserve battery life by powering down after three minutes of inactivity.
With an expansive field of view ranging from 32 to 6.7 metres at 100 metres (18.33° – 3.84° angular), the Forester provides the wide perspective needed to track moving targets effectively. Built from rugged 6061-T6 aluminium and rated shockproof to 750G, it is both IPX4 waterproof and nitrogen-filled for fogproof performance in any weather.
Its fully multi-coated optics, 100mm long eye relief, and turret lock system make it an ideal choice for hunters, sport shooters, and tactical users who demand reliability, clarity, and speed.

Q: What is an LVPO?
A: Low Variable Power Optic – scopes starting near 1× or 1.5× magnification, designed for speed at close range with the option to zoom slightly for precision.
Q: Why is the reticle in the second focal plane (SFP)?
A: The reticle size remains constant as you zoom, making it easy to see and uncluttered at low magnifications.
Q: Is the illumination visible in daylight?
A: Yes – the fiber optic system provides a bright aiming point that can stand out in bright conditions, while lower settings help in low light or against dark targets.
Q: Can it be used without illumination?
A: Yes – the etched fiber reticle remains visible even if the battery is switched off.
Q: Is it strong enough for big game calibres?
A: Yes – Vector Optics scopes are recoil-rated and suitable for centrefire hunting rifles.
