Frequently Asked Questions
Is this scope better suited to hunting or precision shooting?
It works well for both, offering a hunting-friendly size with features that also support more deliberate precision shooting.

It means the reticle scales with magnification so its holdovers stay accurate throughout the zoom range.
Does this scope have illumination?
