Q1: Is the 1–4× range genuinely useful?
Yes — 1× delivers quick targeting and wide field of view in dynamic or close terrain. When you need more detail or range control, 4× gives you just enough throw‑over without turning your rifle into a long‑range specialist.
Q2: What does SFP mean and why choose it?
An SFP (Second Focal Plane) reticle remains visually the same size at all magnification settings. That means at 1× you have the same sized aiming point as at 4× — offering consistency and familiarity in your sight picture.
Q3: Will it handle recoil or heavy use?
Yes — the 30 mm tube plus quality machining and shock testing means it can operate reliably under moderate recoil. As always, ensure your rings and base are correctly fitted and torqued for best results.
Q4: Is the weight suitable for lighter rifles?
Yes — built with a compact objective and minimal bulk, this scope is designed to keep your rifle balanced and manoeuvrable.It is ideal for compact rigs, juniors and seniors
