Optical performance

• Dielectric prism coatings ensure accurate color reproduction, even in difficult lighting conditions.

Construction and durability

• Porro prism design offers reduced light loss and high optical precision.

• Angled body design allows use with a lower tripod, reducing the risk of tipping in windy conditions and improving comfort during long observation sessions. It also makes the scope easier to transport.

• Waterproof and dustproof construction enables reliable use in heavy rain, dust, or sand.

• Nitrogen purging prevents internal fogging caused by temperature changes, ensuring clear viewing at all times.

• ArmorTek coating protects the external lens surfaces from scratches, oil, and dirt, helping maintain optical quality over many years.
