- Classic Duplex reticle offers bold outer posts and a fine center crosshair, giving a clean, uncluttered aiming point suitable for hunting and general field shooting.
- CDS-SZL2 elevation dial locks to prevent accidental changes, includes a revolution indicator, and works with a custom dial matched to your preferred load and conditions.
- Guard-ion lens coating sheds water, dirt, and oil so the lenses stay clearer in rain, snow, and dust with less frequent cleaning.
- Side focus parallax knob lets you fine tune parallax and image focus for various ranges, improving precision on mid and long range shots.
- Integrated throw lever and fast-focus eyepiece make magnification and diopter adjustments quick and easy when you transition between close cover and long shots.

- The non-illuminated Duplex reticle keeps the sight picture simple and uncluttered, ideal for hunters who prefer a straightforward aiming solution without extra markings.
- The CDS-SZL2 dial and generous adjustment range allow you to range, dial to distance with a custom turret, and hold dead on rather than estimating holdover.
