What our Experts Think

• Serious long-range capability – 5–25x magnification paired with a large 56mm objective delivers excellent performance for precision shooting at extended distances
• True First Focal Plane accuracy – EBR-7C (MOA) reticle ensures precise holdovers, ranging, and wind calls at any magnification
• Advanced “Christmas tree” reticle – Designed for fast corrections without constant dialing, ideal for competitive and tactical shooting
• Massive adjustment range – 34mm tube offers up to 110 MOA elevation & 78 MOA windage, giving plenty of room for extreme даль shots
• Reliable turret system – Locking turrets with RevStop® Zero System provide repeatable tracking and quick return to zero
• Strong optical performance – Extra-low dispersion glass and fully multi-coated lenses deliver clear, bright images with good contrast
• Built for tough environments – Aircraft-grade aluminum construction with waterproof, fogproof, and rugged durability
• Shooter-friendly features – Includes throw lever, side parallax (15 yards–∞), and illumination for fast adjustments in real-world scenarios
• Trade-off: weight & size – Around 30 oz, making it more suited for benchrest/precision setups than lightweight hunting rifles

Maintenance Tips

• Clean legs after every use: Wipe carbon fiber legs and joints to remove dirt, sand, and moisture—prevents wear on twist locks and joints.
• Maintain twist leg locks: Periodically check and tighten locks to ensure stable height adjustment and prevent slippage.
• Inspect ball head performance: Keep ball head clean and debris-free for smooth pan/tilt control and precise positioning.
• Avoid exceeding load capacity: Stay within the ~55 lb max load to protect structural integrity and maintain stability.
• Use counterweight hook when needed: Add weight in windy conditions to reduce vibration and strain on legs.
• Check quick-release plate: Ensure Arca-Swiss plate is secure for safe mounting of optics or rifles.
• Dry after wet conditions: Even though carbon fiber is weather-resistant, always dry thoroughly to protect internal components.
• Inspect feet & spikes: Clean rubber feet and spiked feet to maintain grip on different terrains.
• Store properly: Fold compactly and keep in a dry case to preserve portability and longevity.
• Avoid impacts: Strong carbon fiber build, but repeated drops can weaken structure over time.
