TRIJICON

Long-Range AccuPower Riflescopes

The Trijicon AccuPower 4.5-30×56 and 5-50×56 riflescopes reset expectations for flexibility and long-range performance. The powerful zoom gives long-range shooters the tools necessary to acquire, identify and engage targets.
The AccuPower 4.5-30×56 FFP is available with either a first or second focal plane reticle. The first focal plane reticles provide fast target placement and a wind hold dot system, while the uncluttered second focal plane milling reticles help shooters range targets with pinpoint precision.
For extreme long-range performance, the AccuPower 5-50×56 rifle-scope features precise milling and hold-over reticles calibrated in both MOA and MRAD.
Five red and five green user-selectable brightness settings allow shooters to choose the brightness level and reticle color based on changing conditions in the field.

NIKON

6-24x50SF BLACK FX1000 IL FX-MRAD

Competition-ready straight from the box, the BLACK FX1000 combines match grade features such as a first focal plane optical system, high-speed turrets, integral zero stop and glass-etched MRAD reticles. The BLACK FX1000 utilizes Nikon’s proprietary optical glass and multicoating technology to provide exceedingly sharp resolution and clear target images regardless of distance. The 50mm objective lens not only gathers—but transmits—maximum brightness from first to last light. The reticle is designed to optimize the sight picture and provide the necessary tools for ranging, hold-over and windage corrections whether shooting a match or punching paper.
The BLACK FX1000’s high-speed turrets allow you to dial-in 10 MRAD of adjustment per revolution with crisp, clean, tactile clicks. These high-speed turrets allow most modern calibers to be dialed in excess of 1,000 yards with a single turn. Built for the constant dialing that comes with long-range precision, the elevation turret features Nikon’s integral Return-to-Zero stop that assures you don’t lose your zero once set.
