Bering Optics quotes 750 m, 1.5× our figure, because makers usually measure against a person’s full height rather than their width. Why the numbers differ

02Pros and cons
From the published specs, not owner reports.
For it
- Takes CR123 batteries you can swap in the field
- Light at 17.1 oz, 20th-lightest of the 194 riflescopes here
- Waterproof (IP67), survives a dunking
- Records video and connects to a phone app
- ~$2,075, well under the ~$3,000 typical for riflescopes here
Against it
- Only 4 h of battery
- Short 35 mm lens: a wide view, but less reach than a 50 mm scope
- No rangefinder, so you judge distance by eye
- Entry-level 384×288 sensor, with less detail than a 640
