FAQ
How does the ACSS Nova Fiber Wire reticle improve shooting performance?
This reticle utilizes Red Dot Bright® illumination powered by a fiber optic wire for high visibility in diverse lighting. It includes built-in ranging marks, MIL subtensions, and moving target leads, which help shooters accurately engage targets at varying distances without complex calculations.
Is the PLxC 1-8X24 suitable for both close quarters and medium-range shooting?
Yes, its 1-8x magnification range offers a low-power red dot-style view for quick target acquisition at close range and enough magnification for medium-range precision up to approximately 800 yards, making it versatile for multiple shooting scenarios.
What maintenance does this rifle scope require?
Maintenance is minimal—regular cleaning of lenses with a microfiber cloth and protection from impacts keeps the scope functional. The anodized hardcoat finish resists corrosion and wear, and all adjustments are sealed to prevent moisture intrusion.
How does this scope compare with first focal plane (FFP) models?
As a second focal plane (SFP) optic, the reticle size remains constant regardless of magnification, which some shooters prefer for quick target acquisition. While FFP scopes scale reticle subtensions with magnification, the PLxC’s design provides consistent reticle visibility with less complexity in aiming at varying zoom levels.
Is the scope compatible with night vision devices?
This model is not night vision compatible. However, it offers bright reticle illumination suitable for dawn, dusk, and daylight conditions, balancing visibility with battery efficiency.
