Overview
A compact 30mm scope built for varmint and airgun use, with side parallax focus, a glass etched reticle with six brightness levels and resettable turrets.
This is a short eye relief, wide angle design meant for close mounting on lighter platforms like PCP air rifles rather than for magnum centerfire hunting rounds. One reviewer's split rating tells the real story: on a consistently lit target range it performed at the top of the scale, but the same fine, precise reticle without bold aiming elements made quick target acquisition harder outdoors under changing light.
- 30mm mono-tube chassis
- 16 layer fully multi-coated optics
- Glass etched reticle with red illumination
- Side focus parallax adjustment to infinity
Who it's for
Fits shooters mounting a compact 30mm scope on an air rifle or varmint setup for range and target work where lighting stays consistent. Less suited to hunters who need a bold reticle for quick acquisition in variable field light, and buyers should confirm the item arrives new and sealed given at least one report of a used unit.
Pros and cons
- Compact and lightweight for close mounting
- Repeatable, precise adjustment for target shooting
- Side parallax focus down to close range
- Six brightness levels for the illuminated reticle
- Fine reticle lacks bold elements for fast hunting acquisition
- One buyer received a unit that appeared previously used
