FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What advantage does the 56mm objective provide?

It supports a larger exit pupil at comparable magnification settings, helping provide a bright sight picture in poor ambient light.

Will this scope require high rings?

The 56mm objective will commonly require high rings, although the exact height depends on the rifle, barrel profile, rail and mounting system.

How does it differ from the 3-15x50 #183854?

This model uses a larger 56mm objective and finer FireDot Twilight Hunter reticle. It weighs approximately 37g more and offers side-focus adjustment down to 35 yards rather than 50 yards.
