Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Integrix rifle scopes precise?

Integrix utilizes Japanese Fanuc CNC machines and traditional lathes, holding tolerances within 5 microns. The internal erector tube, a critical component, undergoes a precise 12-minute machining process to ensure accuracy.

What quality control measures are used in Integrix scope manufacturing?

Assembly happens in a Class 100 clean room. Scopes are triple nitrogen purged in a vacuum chamber to prevent fogging. Final testing includes resolution checks against military standards, extreme temperature tests, and waterproof pressure tests.

What type of glass does Integrix use in their scopes?

Integrix uses high-quality optical glass sourced from German Schott or Japanese Ohara. These lenses are treated with multi-coatings to achieve a high light transmission rate of 92%.

How does Integrix ensure the durability of their rifle scopes?

Scope bodies are machined from solid aluminum for rigidity. The factory also conducts rigorous durability tests, including drop tests down stairs on prototype models, to ensure ruggedness before shipment.
