The scopes utilize Leupold's professional-grade optical system with extra-low dispersion glass and HD lens systems, offering either 30mm or 34mm main tubes depending on the magnification. Available in both First Focal Plane (FFP) and Second Focal Plane (SFP) configurations, with MOA or MRAD adjustments and reticles, these scopes are designed for versatility across tactical and hunting applications.
