Q1: Is the 4–16× zoom practically useful?
Yes. The 4× setting gives quick sight‑picture and wide field of view useful for moving targets or cover environments. Zooming to 16× lets you engage with precision when the range opens up.
Q2: What does FFP mean for me and what should I expect?
In a First Focal Plane scope, the reticle changes size with magnification so hold‑over and wind‑marks are accurate at any zoom. However, at low magnification the reticle can appear smaller — see the FFP vs SFP block below.
Q3: Will the illuminated reticle work in daylight?
Yes — the illumination has multiple levels so you can adjust it for bright daylight, woodland shade or overcast conditions. It gives you flexibility to use the reticle clearly when ambient light is low.
Q4: Is the 44 mm objective big enough for low‑light use?
Yes — while larger lenses gather more light, a 44 mm objective paired with premium glass and coatings offers very good performance in variable lighting without excessive bulk or weight.
Q5: Which calibre/rifle types suit this scope?
With its strong build, 34 mm tube and precision turrets, it suits centrefire rifles used for hunting, practical field work or target shooting where variable zoom and precision are required. Proper mounting and rings always advised.
Q6: What’s included and what’s not?
Typically includes the scope itself and standard manufacturer accessories (caps, manual, possibly sunshade). Mounting rings, bases or adapters are not included unless specified.
Q7: Why is zero‑stop only mentioned for the elevation turret?
Because most shooters adjust elevation frequently (for distance) whereas windage is often set once. A zero stop on elevation lets you return quickly to your zero and then fine‑tune as needed.
FFP vs SFP – What to Know About Reticle Visibility
Important: In First Focal Plane (FFP) optics the reticle scales with magnification — the reticle becomes smaller at lower zoom and larger at higher zoom. This aids precision and hold‑over use at any magnification. However, at low magnification, the reticle may appear fine or less visible in dense or low‑contrast backgrounds.
If you spend most of your shooting at low zoom and need bold reticles for quick acquisition, a Second Focal Plane (SFP) might be more suitable.
-
FFP: Strong for hold‑over accuracy, smaller reticle at low zoom
-
SFP: Consistent reticle size, easier to see at low zoom, but hold‑overs only accurate at one zoom
- Lifetime Warranty
