Optical Performance

Moderate 7x power magnifies subjects while preserving a wide field of view and exit pupil

Large 50mm objective lenses boost light-gathering ability for improved performance in challenging conditions, such as during the pre-dawn and late evening hours

Compact Abbe-Koenig roof prism system

Phase-correcting prism coatings compensate for internal phase shifts, improving resolution and contrast

Extra-low dispersion (ED) glass corrects chromatic aberrations that cause color fringing and improves clarity, contrast, and resolution

Broadband fully multi-coated optics improve light transmission, color rendition, contrast, and clarity across the entire visual spectrum

Field-flattener lens system eliminates curvature distortion at the edges of the field of view

Eyepiece lenses are engineered to eliminate astigmatism and comas to improve sharpness, clarity, and contrast

Ultra-wide 67° apparent angle of view

563' field of view at 1000 yards

Use and Handling

Closed-bridge configuration

Abbe-Koenig prisms allow for a slimmer optical tube and greater in-hand balance without sacrificing performance

Individual eyepiece focusing enables ultra-precise focusing for any user, with etched indicators for repeatability

Helical focusing system allows eyepieces to move forward and back without rotating, ensuring the optical axis does not change to improve focusing sharpness

-6/+4 dioptric correction allows users to compensate for individual optical prescriptions for sharper views

Broad 58-78mm interpupillary distance adjustment range enables easy use by a wide variety of users

Twist-up, six-position click-stop rubber eyecups for comfortable use with or without eyewear

55mm objective filter threads (P=0.75) allow the use of optional filters, such as neutral density or polarizing, to enhance the viewing experience

Long 17.7mm eye relief allows users with eyewear to see the entire field of view without vignetting

Wide 7.1mm exit pupil ensures complete coverage when pupils are fully dilated in low-light conditions
