FAQs:
Q: Why is fixed magnification better for benchrest?
A: It removes zoom-related optical shift, ensuring absolute image stability.
Q: Can I see the center dot clearly at 46×?
A: Yes – it’s fine enough for tiny targets but still visible for precision aiming.
Q: Will it work in low light?
A: Yes – adjustable red illumination and NV mode adapt to any lighting conditions - But note below info on this subject.
Q: Is it durable enough for 338 Lapua magnum calibres?
A: Yes – tested to 1000 g shock resistance and sealed against the elements. Please note the operation of the Illumination Rheostat is very sensitive and can be an issue when altering brightness. As the scope is designed for Benchrest where illumination is not a required feature it is best to treat this scope as Non-Illuminated. It is very good value optically as a pure Benchrest Scope.
