Key Performance Features ・Wide 171 – 81ft@1000yd FOV: Track moving targets effortlessly with a field of view exceeding most competitors in its class. ・ Ultra-High Definition Optics: Multi-coated ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) glass minimises chromatic aberration, providing sharp, true-to-life colour contrast for critical target identification. ・ Rugged Durability: Built with a waterproof and argon-purged aluminium chassis, this scope withstands harsh weather, thermal shocks, and recoil vibrations during extended field use. ・ Ergonomic Design: The straight-view configuration reduces neck strain during prolonged observation sessions, while the 0.78-inch eye relief accommodates eyeglass wearers comfortably. Tactical Advantages ・ Enhanced Reticle Compatibility: Pair with the Athlon G2 22x Ranging Reticle Eyepiece (sold separately) for MIL-based distance calculations, ideal for PRS competitions or hunting in variable terrains. ・ Quick-Focus Mechanism: A dual-speed focus dial allows rapid adjustments from 10m to infinity, ensuring swift transitions between targets without losing situational awareness.

Buyer guidance
Choose it for the right job
Plain, practical checks for UK buyers comparing thermal, night vision and rifle optics before paying.
Close pest control
Rats around buildings or feeders are usually short range. Prioritise a clear image, quick start-up and easy handheld handling before chasing maximum distance.
Rabbit and fox work
For rabbits and foxes, check realistic identification distance, LRF needs and battery life. A higher sensor and suitable lens matter more than bold marketing range claims.
Mounting check
If it is going on a rifle, confirm the tube, mount or rail fit before payment. Common checks include 30 mm / 34 mm rings, Picatinny or dovetail fittings and eye relief.
Compatibility checklist
Useful details to confirm before payment, especially for rifle-mounted optics and add-ons.
- Intended use: rats, rabbits, foxes, target shooting or observation
- Typical distance: under 50 m, 50-150 m, 150-300 m or longer fields
- Mounting: 30 mm / 34 mm tube, Picatinny, Weaver, dovetail, clip-on or handheld
- Accessories: IR illuminator, battery pack, charger, rail, case or tripod
