Special Features
- Creedmoor reticle is designed around common 6.5 Creedmoor factory ammunition, giving you pre-calculated holdover points at maximum magnification.
- Reticle layout uses thin center lines with defined holdover marks so you can hold at 300, 400, and roughly 500 yards without dialing turrets.
- Advanced Optical System balances light transmission, glare reduction, and resolution to maintain a clear view in harsh light and at low light edges.
- Resettable index ring on the elevation dial lets you return quickly to your established zero after confirming drops at different distances.
- Lightweight 1 inch tube and compact length keep your rifle balanced and easy to carry on long walks and in varied terrain.
- Fully sealed, nitrogen purged construction keeps the scope free from internal fogging and water intrusion during changing weather.

- Generous eye relief and moderate weight support comfortable shooting from prone, kneeling, or improvised field positions without making the rifle front heavy.
