Featuring a 6-24x50mm configuration, it delivers a broad range of magnification suited for long-range shots without compromising on image sharpness. Hunters will appreciate its illuminated reticle, designed for low-light conditions, which aids accuracy during dawn or dusk. The exposed turrets allow for quick and easy adjustments in the field, letting you zero in with confidence. Built ruggedly, it holds up well under intense conditions, thanks to its shockproof and waterproof design. The Viper PST Gen I is an ideal scope for those who want performance without adding excessive weight to their setup.
Athlon Talos
The Talos scope is built for the dedicated hunter, featuring fully multi-coated lenses that enhance light transmission for optimal brightness and true color across the entire light spectrum. Its etched glass reticle ensures durability and shock resistance, while the heat-treated one-piece tube design provides exceptional strength and moisture resistance, keeping the scope fog-proof for life. Nitrogen purging further reduces moisture inside the tube, ensuring waterproof performance in harsh conditions. With a versatile 4X magnification range, the Talos is ideal for various hunting scenarios, from whitetails in dense forests to prairie dogs in open fields. Choose from specialty reticle options like Center X, Mil Dot, or BDC600 IR for precise aiming and range estimation, empowering you to make the most of every low-light hunting opportunity.
