Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main series of long-range rifle scopes offered by Crimson Trace?

Crimson Trace offers three main series of long-range rifle scopes: the 2 series, 3 series, and 5 series. These scopes come with various magnification options, ranging from 1-4x up to a powerful 3-24x in their flagship models.

Where are Crimson Trace's long-range rifle scopes manufactured?

All of Crimson Trace's long-range rifle scopes are manufactured in their dedicated facility located in Japan. This ensures a high standard of quality and precision in their optical products.

What is a First Focal Plane (FFP) scope and why is it beneficial for long-range shooting?

A First Focal Plane (FFP) scope means the reticle is positioned in front of the magnification lens. This ensures the reticle scales proportionally with the image as you change magnification, allowing for consistent ranging and holdover calculations at any power setting.

What is the advantage of a Mill-Mill (MRAD) adjustment system for long-range shooters?

The Mill-Mill (MRAD) system, where both the reticle subtensions and the turret adjustments are in milliradians, is often preferred by long-range shooters for its simplicity. It makes calculating bullet drop and windage corrections easier, especially for those new to long-range shooting.
