5-40x Magnification: The scope offers variable magnification, allowing you to adjust between 5x and 40x magnification levels. This means you can zoom in on your target with a magnification range of 5 to 40 times the naked eye view.
56mm Objective: The objective lens diameter is 56mm. A larger objective lens allows more light to enter the scope, enhancing clarity and brightness.
30mm Main Tube: The scope has a main tube with a diameter of 30mm. A larger tube can provide improved light transmission and allows for adjustments with larger turrets.
Etched 550 Ballistic (BDC) Illuminated Reticle: The reticle (crosshair pattern) is etched onto the glass for durability and precision. "550 Ballistic" likely refers to a specific bullet drop compensating (BDC) reticle design calibrated for a particular cartridge or load. This helps compensate for bullet drop at various distances.
Illuminated Reticle: The reticle can be illuminated, which is particularly useful in low-light conditions. Illuminated reticles enhance visibility and aiming accuracy.
