The Helix Gen II picks up where the original Helix left off, marrying industry leading durability with a suite of second-generation refinements. At its heart sits upgraded German Schott glass, boosting light transmission by roughly 12 percent The parallax knob has grown in diameter, glides with silky-smooth resistance and delivers finer click-by-click control, while the entirely redesigned turrets now boast beefed-up diameters, crisp tactile feedback, an exposed elevation zero-stop and hunter-friendly capped windage adjustment (tool-free turret that clicks 20 MOA per revolution), so you’ll always know exactly where you’re dialed in. Around the eyepiece, the diopter range has been stretched from +2/–2 to +3/–2.5, and the new aperture ring gives you extra punch in glaring, high-contrast light. The First Focal Plane (FFP) reticle increases or decreases with the target as the magnification changes, while the time-tested 4x erector tube has been redesigned to deliver a wider field of view and a forgiving eye-box. Every scope undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure rock-solid repeatability under the toughest conditions. All these upgrades live in a lean, 350 mm-long, 808 g aircraft-grade aluminum chassis that remains fully waterproof, fog proof and shockproof. With a sharper image through better glass, improved ergonomics and thoughtful enhancements, this second generation is a refinement tailored to both precision shooters and hunters. Please note that although some product photos show MRAD markings on the turrets, this is in fact the MOA version. If you choose to purchase, you will receive the correct product. Outstanding Features FFP: First Focal Plane Built-in Zero-stop Fast-throw zoom lever (swap out for the included hex screw if you prefer) Strong and Rugged Design Adjustable Diopter Repeatable dialing Side Parallax (from 10 m to infinity) 30 MM Body Tube Stainless-steel turret internals Fully multi-coated lenses for maximum clarity and brightness Add weather resistant ratings : waterproof, fog proof and shockproof, and you are good to go! MPR-1C MOA Reticle DESIGN FEATURES MPR stands for «Mid-Power Reticle». This reticle is designed specifically to get the best out of mid-power magnification ranges, with features that enhance performance at both the low end and the high end of the available range. INTELLIGENT FLOATING FEATURES The fine centre dot provides a precise aim point, while the thicker floating cross just outside it remains clearly visible even at minimum zoom. The floating cross also creates finer 0.5 MOA divisions along both axes, allowing for more precise holds close to center without the need for extra hashes. NUMBERED MARKINGS Numbers on the vertical axis allow shooters to quickly find hold points under pressure. TAPERED BARS Bars on the left, right & bottom of the reticle taper out to the edge of your field of view, drawing your eye to the centre at all magnifications without becoming too thick or thin. New to this reticle; the tapered section extends deep into the main reticle itself, thickening the line closer to the center and making it more visible. «The Helix 4-16x44 GEN2 is a popular rifle scope known for its value and performance, particularly for medium to long-range shooting and hunting.
