Optical Performance

• 42mm objective lenses boost light-gathering ability versus Compact models for improved low-light performance without the bulk of larger objectives
• Compact Roof Prism light path keeps the optical tubes thin for easy handling
• BAK4 Prisms deliver a round Exit Pupil, and a crisp and clear image with limited edge distortion
• Anti-reflection Fully Multicoated Optics maximize light transmission while improving colour rendition, contrast, and clarity
• Apparent angle of view approaches wide-angle to help minimize the appearance of the distracting hand-shake that is common when holding high-power optics, and presents an immersive observational experience
• 350-foot field of view at 1000 yards
