Key features

- R/T Reticle (Ranging Reticle): Features a reticle with MRAD (milliradian) subtensions that allows shooters and hunters to calculate precise distances to observed targets and make rapid ballistic corrections.
- Extreme Durability: The body is O-ring sealed and argon-purged, making it completely waterproof, shockproof, and resistant to internal fogging caused by sudden temperature changes. The outer lenses are protected against scratches and dirt by the ultra-hard ArmorTek® coating.
- Design and Ergonomics: Features a versatile attachment clip for quick mounting to belts or tactical vests, a standard dual 1/4"-20 thread for stable tripod mounting, and non-slip rubber armor that ensures a secure grip even when wearing gloves.
It is covered by Vortex's well-known unlimited VIP warranty, which guarantees repair or replacement for life in the event of accidental damage.
