Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key features of the Element Optics THEO scope?

The Element Optics THEO is a premium, Japanese-built scope featuring 6-36x56 magnification, a 34mm tube, a push-button IR reticle, side parallax adjustment from 10 yards to infinity, and an innovative zero stop turret system with a revolution indicator.

How does the zero stop feature work on Element Optics turrets?

The zero stop allows users to set a hard limit on the elevation turret, preventing accidental over-rotation past the zero point. It's easily set without tools by loosening a screw, aligning the zero mark, and re-tightening, with a few clicks of travel available below zero.

What is the Element Optics ballistic rangefinder and how does it work?

The Element Optics ballistic rangefinder integrates with a free mobile app where users can upload custom ballistic profiles. This allows the rangefinder to calculate necessary holdovers for specific ammunition and distances, providing more accurate aiming solutions in the field.

What is the difference between the Element Optics THEO and Nexus Gen 2 scopes?

The THEO is a high-magnification, competition-focused scope (6-36x56, 34mm tube), while the Nexus Gen 2 is a more compact, versatile option (4-25x50, 30mm tube) suitable for both competition and hunting, though both share advanced turret features.
