The Element Optics Titan 3-18x50 APR-2D rifle scope combines outstanding quality with a very decent price. This rifle scope is designed by a team of professional shooters, who put their gathered experience into a very usable multi-discipline design. We’ve got this rifle scope on offer in to variants:
- MOA adjustment and MOA reticle
- Mrad adjustment and Mrad reticle
A feature that really stands out, is the gigantic elevation adjustment range this Element Optics Titan 3-18x50 APR-2D rifle scope has. One of the reasons for this is the big 34 mm tube that offers plenty of space for the erector tube to be adjusted. The result is an adjustment range of a staggering 150 MOA (43.6 mrad), making this Titan perfect for shooting at extreme long distances.
The smoothly rotating turrets feature stainless steel internals, making them very durable. That’s something shooters who often need to adjust their turrets surely will appreciate. They can be adjusted in clicks of ¼ MOA, or when you’re opting for an mrad setup, in clicks of 0.1 mrad. A full turn is 25 MOA or 10 mrad and a scale shows you which turn you’re in. Of course, a practical zero-stop mechanism is featured. This one can be conveniently adjusted without the need for tools.
The illuminated (adjustable intensity) APR-2D reticle is developed for a wide range of uses. There’s a reason APR stand for All Purpose Reticle. A very smart feature is the fact the crosshairs are tapered towards the middle, enabling them to be clearly visible at low magnifications, while not covering the target at high magnifications. Another smart feature is the fact that the reticle subtensions are numbered for a quick identification. The further they are from the centre, the bigger the numbers are, making them easy to read at low magnifications. One click of the turret corresponds exactly with the MOA or Mrad scale of the reticle.
With the reticle situated in the first focal plane (FFP), it will enhance when zooming in. This means it’s always perfectly calibrated at every magnification, saving you a lot of calculations when figuring out distances. And when shooting at different distances, the holdover will not vary with magnification, making things even more easy for you.
Although the Element Optics Titan 3-18x50 APR-2D rifle scope performs well at extreme long distances, the side focus can be adjusted from 10 metres ‘till infinity, making this Titan also very usable for air rifles or dry fire training. It really is a great all-rounder. Side focus rifle scopes tend to be very wide, sometimes causing problems with a tight fit in gun cases. Element Optics took care to keep the windage turret as compact as possible, reducing the width considerably. For ease of adjustment, a removable throw lever is mounted on the magnification adjustment ring. It helps you with subtle movement, while also providing extra grip when your hands are wet or cold.
The Element Optics Titan 3-18x50 APR-2D rifle scope features fully multicoated lenses, made from clear ED glass for a bright image with lots of contrast. A maximum magnification of 18x allows the use of a 50 mm objective lens, without concessions to light transmittance. This means the Titan could be kept compact, allowing for a low mounting close to the barrel. Also, the smaller objective offers a more forgiving depth of field, making for a less critical parallax adjustment.
To prevent internal fogging, the rifle scope is filled with nitrogen to keep moisture out. In addition to that, is the Titan waterproof and shockproof.
