Most of the hunters prefer first focal plane to the second focal plane, as with the former you don’t have to worry about the power level during any operation.

The difference between the first and second focal plane is on where the magnification happens concerning the crosshair.It helps in viewing tack-sharp (which shows the main subject in sharp focus) images at any magnification.                                                                                                                                                                                     

This feature is unavailable in many shooting models. The addition of this feature will ascend the confidence of the shooters. In spite of being a flawless shooter, who knows every way to succeed in hitting the target, parallax error creates an obstruction.

Though it is a focusing knob, it allows you to line up your reticle with your target objective in the proper plane. Not only it gives you a perfect focus but also provides a better sight picture and absolute accuracy.

You are not going to see a considerable change due to parallax error, but it still helps you in a perfect shot. If your eyes keep moving, the reticle is going to change, so you need to overlay the target on the same plane and adjust the parallax.

Windage and elevation turrets provide 25 MOA adjustments per revolution. Features are all set for rapid return to zero.

It is effortless if you have your scope set at 0 at 100 meters, which is common in Europe, to always go back. Most of the hunting scopes do not have this stop so this additional attribute.

If you don’t know about windage; it is for side adjustment, as wind drift causes horizontal deviation from the fixed target.

The turrets are locked. After you remove it, there is an inner-lock ring that has an additional three screws that you have to loosen and then follow the air-tightening ring till it stops.

Then tighten up the three screws. Every time you turn it down, it stops right at zero. It happens automatically.

The turrets are audible, so it is fun to hear what you are doing.

The new MOA version is beneficial in measuring the magnification level. It gives a detailed reticle to maintain contrast in all light condition, be it from dawn to dusk.

In this rifle scope, you are getting more sub-tension in comparison to the older model, and the numbers are marked every ten units. This extra sub-tension will make identifying your object easier.

Illuminated reticle helps in quick, easy brightness adjustment.

It is O-ring sealed to avert dampness from entering the body. Moreover, there is nitrogen exclusion to be safe from thermal shock. The shock-proof construction shrugs off hard recoil and rugged use.

The exceptional qualities make it more than adequate for shooting. Overall, this will be an incredible choice for enhancing your performance. So, grab the opportunity and take hold of this product!
