02Pros and cons
From the published specs, not owner reports.
For it
- Takes CR123 batteries you can swap in the field
- Light at 19.3 oz, 47th-lightest of the 194 riflescopes here
- Weather-sealed (IPX6), fine in rain
- ~$1,700, well under the ~$3,000 typical for riflescopes here
Against it
- Only 4.4 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
- Zoom past 2× is digital and gets blurry
- Warranty terms not published
