FAQ
How does the first focal plane reticle benefit shooters?
The first focal plane (FFP) reticle scales with magnification, meaning the subtensions remain accurate at any zoom level. This allows shooters to use the reticle for precise range estimation and holdovers without adjusting turrets, improving speed and accuracy over varied distances.
What maintenance does this rifle scope require?
Routine care includes cleaning the lenses with proper optical cloths to maintain clarity and occasionally checking turret function to ensure smooth, precise adjustments. The aluminum body and locking turrets are designed for durability and require minimal maintenance under normal usage.
How does this scope compare to other optics in the same price range?
The GLx 3-18x44 combines premium-grade glass and patented Steel-on-Steel turrets typically found in higher-end models, offering exceptional value for precision shooters. Its ACSS Apollo reticle specifically benefits .308 Winchester and 6.5 Grendel users with built-in ballistic solutions, which many competitors lack.
Is the scope compatible with night vision devices?
This model is not compatible with night vision equipment, focusing instead on daylight and low-light shooting with its illuminated reticle.
Can the magnification lever be swapped for other styles?
Yes, the dovetail magnification lever can be removed and replaced with the folding UML magnification lever or other compatible accessories, providing customization options based on shooter preferences.
