Kaps Classic Line rifle scopes description

Kaps Classic Line rifle scopes series consists of rifle scopes with the variable zoom which has basically the same construction as Kaps Illuminated series rifle scopes, but they are non-illuminated. The Kaps Classic Line series also features the traditional rifle scopes with standard fixed magnification in classical lens diameters. Despite their classical construction, they do offer high-quality lenses composition which are all multicoated for maximum sharpness and light transmission.

Because of the reticle’s position in the first focal plane (reticle size changes with magnification), despite not having illuminated reticles, they are still very efficient in the dark. Waterproof and dry nitrogen filled housings ensure that there will be no mist build up even at temperatures as low as -40°C. The manufacturer also guarantees complete retention of functionality at very high temperatures up to +70°C. It is also possible to use Kaps Classic Line rifle scopes with the biggest hunting calibers, such as the .450 Marlin and other African calibers.

All Kaps Classic Line rifle scopes have a main tube diameter of 30 mm, but can also be ordered with the LM mounting rail, for easier and reliable mounting. The warranty on Kaps Classic Line series of rifle scopes is 2 years on everything, and 25 years on mechanics and optics.

Lens, coatings and magnification in best Low light scope

A good low light rifle scope is one that fits the user’s financial goals, brightness, and provides a quality image, nevertheless. A lower zoom factor means there are fewer lens in the design. And fewer lens result in less loss of light. The coatings are also important – if they are of higher quality, again, less amount of light is lost every time light travels through the lens’ surface.

As for the lens size, the bigger, the better. The magnification of the scope should also not be too high, as this results in a smaller exit pupil, which we do not want for low light use.

But the most important factor to be taken into account is that the scope performs best in low light if it has an illuminated reticle, preferably in the form of a finely adjustable central dot (if the whole reticle is illuminated, it covers up the image of the target).

Can you use a low light scope at night?

Yes, a riflescope can be used for hunting at night, if you make use of the available residual light, such as the Full Moon or starlight, but your observation will not be ideal.

However, if you wish to hunt at night and see the target clearly, you need the help of other night vision optics, such as thermal and night vision attachments, as night vision optics collect whatever little light there is and amplify it. So, without thermal optics, you would only see a silhouette of the animals and no details.
