Key Features

• HD Optical System. Optimized with select glass elements to deliver exceptional resolution, cut chromatic aberration and provide outstanding color fidelity, edge-to-edge sharpness and light transmission.
• Fully Multi-Coated. Ultimate anti-reflective coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces provide maximum light transmission for peak clarity and the pinnacle of low-light performance.
• APO System. Index-matched lenses correct color across the entire visual spectrum.
• Optically Indexed Lenses. Optimize image sharpness and brightness from edge to edge. Second Focal Plane Reticle. Scale of reticle maintains the same ideally-sized appearance. Listed reticle subtensions used for estimating range, holdover and wind drift correction are accurate at the highest magnification.
• Illuminated Reticle. Provides precise aiming under low-light conditions.
• Single-Piece Tube. Maximizes alignment for improved accuracy and optimum visual performance, as well as ensures strength and waterproofness.
• Aircraft-Grade Aluminum. Constructed from a solid block of aircraft-grade aluminum for strength and rigidity.
• Waterproof. O-ring seals prevent moisture, dust and debris from penetrating for reliable performance in all environments.
• Shockproof. Rugged construction withstands recoil and impact.
• Fogproof. Argon gas purging prevents internal fogging over a wide range of temperatures.
• Matte Anodized Finish. Corrosion and wear resistant anodization provides low-glare matte surface.
• Locking Elevation Turret. Integrated locking mechanism prevents accidental adjustments. Elevation turret provides fast, accurate, easily read elevation adjustments.
• Large Diameter Capped Windage Turret. Provide fast, accurate and easily read windage adjustments. Cap provides external protection for windage turret.

Q&A

Q: How is this different from the MRAD version (RZR-31502)?
A: This model uses MOA-based subtensions, which some shooters prefer for easier, more intuitive inch-based adjustments.

Q: Is this scope ideal for long-distance precision shooting?
A: While capable of extended ranges, its compact design makes it best for hunting scenarios where weight and portability matter.

Q: Does the 42 mm lens limit low-light use?
A: The smaller lens is slightly less bright than a 50 mm, but the high-quality HD glass and coatings still deliver excellent clarity in dawn/dusk conditions.

Maintenance Tips

• Keep lenses protected with caps or covers when not in use.

• Use a lens pen or microfiber cloth for cleaning — avoid touching the glass with fingers.

• Periodically check turrets and zoom ring to ensure smooth function.

• Store in a dry, padded case to prevent dust, moisture, or impact damage.

• Inspect and tighten mounting hardware regularly to maintain zero.

• Avoid extreme heat exposure (like leaving it in a hot vehicle) to protect lens coatings and seals.
