- Side focus parallax lets you dial out parallax and sharpen the target image from 50 yards to infinity, improving precision at mid to long range.
- Motion Sensor Technology extends battery life by turning illumination off after inactivity and instantly reactivating it when the scope moves.

- The broad 3-15x range and wide low-end field of view help you find and track game quickly, then zoom in for careful shot placement when distance and shot angle demand precision.
- The illuminated FireDot Duplex reticle keeps your aiming point visible against dark fur, shaded timber, or cluttered backgrounds at dawn and dusk when animals move most.
- The CDS-SZL2 dial, generous elevation range, and custom turret option let you range, dial to distance, and hold dead on instead of estimating holdover.
