Vector Optics Forester 1-8x24 SFP LPVO Rifle Scope

The Vector Optics Forester is constructed from high-quality aluminium with an anodised finish, with all the adjustment markings crisply engraved, simplifying this scope's plethora of advanced features. Both the objective and eye lens are Fully Multi-coated (FMC), which reduces reflective loss and improves light transmission, providing excellent optical clarity and a great view downrange.

The scope's monotube is 30mm in diameter, allowing it to be mounted with any 30mm scope rings, including single-piece mounts. A set of scope rings for 20mm Picatinny rails is included, so you're ready to rock straight away. The included scope rings mount to any 20mm Picatinny rail and are secured with thumbscrews, which can be tightened by hand or with tools for extra security.

One of the most impressive features of this scope is its very long eye relief (the distance your eye needs to be from the lens to get a clear sight picture). Being a whopping 4", you will never find yourself leaning further and further into the sight, trying to get a clear picture. The reticle simply pops up as you raise your rifle, clear as day!

The scope's adjustment controls can be found midway down the monotube, providing adjustment for elevation, windage, and illumination. The elevation turret is on the top, and the windage turret is on the right side of the optic. These turrets must be lifted to unlock them before adjustments are applied. Thankfully, this doesn't require tools, meaning you can adjust on the fly for changing conditions with ease.

The illumination adjustment can be found on the left side of the optic and provides 11 brightness/intensity settings for the centre dot of the optic. The illumination level can be adjusted by turning the turret, allowing the optic to be used in different lighting conditions. The battery compartment is in the illumination adjustment turret and houses a single CR2032 button cell (not included). To access the battery compartment, simply unscrew the threaded cap.

At the base of the "eye bell" at the rear, we can find the magnification adjustment ring, which features a "rat tail" extension for fast adjustment. The magnification adjustment ring rotates around the circumference of the scope and provides variable power settings between 1x and an impressive 8x.

The 1x setting is not true 1x magnification at all ranges, being closer to 1.25x when the objective is over 20m away. While not quite as fast as a red dot sight, the Forester can be used with both eyes open at close range with the illumination function active, ideal for versatile setups which can go anywhere and do anything. The magnification adjustment ring also features linear grooves, adding to the ease of adjustment already provided by the rat tail extension.

Surrounding the eye lens, at the rear of the scope, we can find the focus adjustment dial, which can be used to clarify the image at different ranges. Similar to the magnification adjustment dial, this dial rotates around the circumference of the scope and is helpfully marked with a +/- to indicate the direction of adjustment. When not in use, the included polymer lens caps can be installed to protect the glass from damage during storage or transport.

Whether you're after a clear-as-crystal DMR optic or a versatile sighting system which can handle any environment, the Vector Optics Forester 1-8x24 SFP LPVO Rifle Scope should be in your crosshairs. A big step up from the already impressive original Forester, the 1-8x variant extends its lead over rival optics!
