Vector Optics Continental 2-16x50 Rifle Scope

This Vector Optics Continental 2-16x50 rifle scope has a housing that’s made of matte black anodised 6061-T6 aluminium, which means it can take a hit. It has a tube diameter of 30 mm and it can easily be mounted onto various types of rails by using the proper mounts. It has a minimum magnification of 2x and a field-of-view of no less than 20.5 metres at a distance of 100 metres. That type of magnification and field-of-view will allow you to easily keep a decent overview with the Vector Optics Continental 2-16x50 rifle scope. As soon as the target is spotted, it can be zoomed in on by using the magnification of 16x. That magnification has an accompanying field-of-view of 2.56 metres at a distance of 100 metres.

The VET-10BDC reticle is located on the second focal plane and it won’t increase in size as you magnify. It does have a red illuminated dot with eleven brightness levels, which ensure the reticle can be seen clearly when placed on any background. Using the turret on the left side of the housing allows you to easily switch between various brightness levels and that turret also houses the CR2032 battery, which is required for powering the illuminated reticle.

The elevation turret and the windage turret both have a maximum adjustment of 110 MOA and every clearly audible click of the turret represents an adjustment of ¼ MOA. As a result, the reticle can be adjusted quickly and efficiently, allowing you to aim with improved accuracy. The Vector Optics Continental 2-16x50 rifle scope features fully multi-coated lenses, which provide a clear and crisp image from edge to edge. The objective has a diameter of 50 mm and it allows a decent amount of light to pass through the rifle scope. The rifle scope is nitrogen-purged, so the lenses can’t fog up on the inside. This allows you to always aim accurately with this Vector Optics rifle scope.

The rifle scope has a durable housing with an IP67 waterproof rating. That rating allows you to submerge the rifle scope to a depth of one metre for 30 minutes without water getting in.
