Day-time usable illumination

VIDEO

Daytime illumination of reticle serves a different purpose than twilight illumination, and in such rifle scopes, high intensity levels are a necessity. The illumination of the reticle is meant for rapid target acquisition, since a bright red dot is the best possible aiming point. Shooters’ eyes are instinctively drawn to a bright red dot in the center of the field of view. Such strong illumination is feasible only in rifle scopes with magnification lower than 1.5x or ideally 1.0x. Such wide-angle rifle scopes with a real 1.0x magnification and daytime bright illumination of the reticle can even be used with both eyes open, similar to reflex/red dot sights.

Rifle scopes with daytime illumination are the best choice for IPSC, CQB, tactical shooting and driven hunting in bright daylight.

Wide-angle riflescopes are built to offer the widest possible field of view for rapid target acquisition. Such scopes are used for close range shooting on driven hunts, while stalking, on dynamic shooting competitions or in close quarter tactical situations. Many of the wide-angle riflescopes also offer the option to use both eyes open when aiming and in this way have an unlimited field of view. Illuminated reticle gives further advantage to the shooter in fast target acquisition; however, such illumination has to be in bright daytime. Common features of wide-angle scopes are:

  • Magnification of 1.0x (or 1.1x as less ideal)
  • Field of view greater than 35m/100m
  • Illuminated reticle with daytime intensity
  • 30 mm tube diameter (hunting models can be mounted with rails)
  • 4, 5, 6, 8 or 10 zoom factor
  • Capped or tactical turrets
  • • Parallax fixed at 100m
