Optical system is the most important component of every riflescope, and the manufacturer Vector Optics knows this very well. That's why the Continental x6 4-24x56 FFP VCT-34 MRAD offers a truly superior LaREE and VePRO lens system with FMC coating that transmits impressive 90% of light. That makes the riflescope suitable even for low visibility conditions.
This model features an etched VCT-34 reticle in the first focal plane (the reticle changes its size depending on the zoom level) with a total of 6 illumination levels, powered by a CR2032 battery (not included).
Elevation and lateral correction is given in milliradians MRAD (also known as MIL), where 1 click = 0.1 MRAD. The elevation rectification turret is equipped with a Zero Stop function, which allows you to "reset" the rifle scope after zeroing the gun to any value below which it won't let you go any further. Parallax correction can be set from 10 yards to infinity. The rotation of the rectification turrets is followed by a gentle clicking sound that allows you to adjust the rifle scope without having to take your eyes off the target.
All components are protected by a durable IP67-rated 6061 T6 aerospace aluminum housing, making the riflescope capable of withstanding recoil of 1000G. The forged one-piece tube has a 34mm diameter and the scope is filled with nitrogen to prevent the lenses from fogging due to sudden temperature changes.
This model is able to withstand 1000 g (unit of gravitational acceleration), which is equivalent to the recoil of .300, .308 and .338. caliber firearms.
