02Pros and cons
From the published specs, not owner reports.
For it
- Built-in laser rangefinder that feeds the ballistic calculator
- Takes 18650 batteries you can swap in the field
- Light at 16 oz, 11th-lightest of the 194 riflescopes here
- Waterproof (IP67), survives a dunking
- Records video and connects to a phone app
- Warranty: 5 years
- ~$1,899, 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
- Entry-level 384×288 sensor, with less detail than a 640
- Zoom past 3.5× is digital and gets blurry
