A unique flip-up lever is built into the power ring for easy adjustments of cold days.

Bought one after talking to Doug, and am very well pleased. Haven't had the chance to hunt with it yet, but it's been working great on steel out to 500 yards.

Gonna order one of these!!


I bought one of the 4-20x50mm ones. Jury still out on edge to edge clarity and last light performance.

I’m not used to nor fond of having to use an adjustment to focus for hunting applications.

For your price range, try an Optika 5.
