Description
Vector Optics Continental X8 3-24×56 ED SFP Rifle Scope
The Vector Optics Continental X8 3-24×56 ED offers a wide 3-24x magnification range. As a result, you can use a lower setting for a wider view or increase the magnification when you need more detail.
For example, the 3x setting gives you a wider field of view. On the other hand, the 24x setting provides a closer view of distant objects. Therefore, the wide zoom range gives you more flexibility.
In addition, the scope has a large 56 mm objective lens. Because of this, the lens can gather plenty of light for the optical system.
ED Glass and Clear Optics
The scope uses ED glass and fully multi-coated lenses. Furthermore, Vector Optics states that this model offers light transmission of up to 93%.
As a result, the optical system is designed to provide a bright and clear image. In addition, the large objective lens works with the ED glass to support image quality in changing light.
Fully Multi-Coated Lenses
The lenses have a fully multi-coated design. Therefore, the optical system is built to provide a clear view while helping reduce unwanted light effects.
Second Focal Plane Reticle
The scope uses a VECON-CDM second focal plane reticle. Because of this, the reticle keeps the same apparent size as you change the magnification.
In addition, the reticle has an illuminated centre point. Furthermore, it offers 11 brightness settings, so you can adjust the illumination to suit the available light.
Reticle Illumination
The illumination system uses a CR2032 battery. As a result, you can adjust the reticle brightness when needed.
At the same time, the second focal plane design keeps the reticle size consistent throughout the magnification range.
30 mm Main Tube
The Continental X8 uses a 30 mm main tube. In addition, the adjustment system uses 1/4 MOA clicks.
Both elevation and windage provide 80 MOA of adjustment. Therefore, the scope offers a broad adjustment range.
Zero Reset Turret
The turret includes a zero-reset function. As a result, returning to the set zero position is easier.
The scope also has side focus adjustment from 20 yards to infinity. Therefore, you can adjust the image for different viewing distances.
Comfortable Viewing
The scope provides 95 mm of eye relief. In addition, the diopter can be adjusted from -3 to +2.
The field of view ranges from 13.67 metres at 3x to 1.71 metres at 24x at 100 metres. Therefore, the lower magnification provides a wider view, while the higher setting gives a narrower and more detailed view.
Durable Outdoor Construction
The housing uses 6061-T6 aluminium alloy. Furthermore, the scope has a matte black finish.
The total length is 376 mm. Meanwhile, the weight is approximately 736 g. As a result, the scope offers a strong build while keeping its overall size manageable.
Water and Fog Protection
The scope has an IP67 rating for water and dust protection. Therefore, it is designed for outdoor use in changing conditions.
In addition, the scope is nitrogen filled. As a result, the design helps reduce fog inside the optical system.
The manufacturer also specifies a 1000G shock-resistance rating. Therefore, the housing is designed to handle demanding outdoor conditions.
