• FireDot Duplex reticle puts a bright illuminated center dot inside a classic duplex pattern, which keeps the aiming point visible in low light without obscuring the target.
• CDS-ZL2 elevation dial lets you use a custom caliber-specific dial and provides a locking, two-turn turret so you can dial elevation for distance and return to zero without confusion.
• High-definition glass with advanced lens coatings improves resolution and contrast, which helps you pick animals out of shadowed timber and brush.
• Guard-ion style lens coating on the outer surfaces helps shed water, dirt, and fingerprints so the image stays clear when weather and conditions change.
• Lightweight aluminum construction and compact dimensions keep your hunting rifle balanced and easy to carry over long days in rough country.

• The illuminated FireDot Duplex reticle keeps your aiming point visible at dawn and dusk, helping you place shots accurately when game moves most.
• The CDS-ZL2 elevation dial lets you match the turret to your specific load, so you can dial to common distances with simple, repeatable holds instead of guessing trajectory.
