Vortex Copperhead 4-12x44 BDC Rifle Scope

The long eye relief, locking diopter, and fully multi-coated lenses are just a few of the reasons this riflescope will be a crowd pleasing favourite. Tough construction and bright images are just the icing on the cake. The Copperhead's hard anodized, one piece, aircraft grade aluminium tube is nitrogen purged and O-ring sealed for waterproof / fogproof / weatherproof performance.

Optical Features:

• Fully Multi-Coated Lenses - Increase light transmission with multiple anti-reflective coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces.

Construction Features:

• One Inch Tube - Standard tube diameter for most American riflescopes.
• One Piece Tube - Maximizes alignment for improved accuracy and optimum visual performance as well as strength and water resistance.
• Aircraft Grade Aluminium - Premium grade of aluminium, valued for fatigue resistance.
• Capped Turrets - Less susceptible to accidental impact damage.
• Reset Turrets - Allow re-indexing of the turret housing to zero after sighting in the riflescope; generally requires use of a coin or wrench.
• Waterproof - O-ring seals prevent moisture, dust, and debris from getting inside the tube, ensuring reliable performance in all environments.
• Fogproof - Filled with nitrogen gas to inhibit internal fogging.
• Shockproof - Lenses are locked in place, fore and aft, with machined locking rings to remain in perfect alignment and withstand recoil and impact.
• Hard Anodized Finish - Hard coat anodization is durable; the low glare matte helps camouflage the shooter’s position.

Breakdown of BDC, V-Plex and Rimfire Reticles:

• BDC Reticle
  • This means Bullet Drop Control and it minimises the need for guessing bullet hold-over at long distances. By selecting the appropriate hashmark you will get a reliable bullet-drop reference. This reticle also provides you with reference marks, which can compensate for bullet drift in windy conditions or to range distances.
• Vortex Dead-Hold BDC Reticle (MOA)
  • Customized hash mark design helps eliminate guesswork on hold over and windage corrections. Good for hunting/shooting at varying ranges where estimating hold over is a concern.
• V-Plex Reticle
  • This is another term for Duplex Reticle: Standard crosshairs that are thicker at edges (for faster target acquisition) and thinner in the centre (as not to obscure the view of the target).
• Rimfire Reticle
  • These reticles are more suitable for short-range shooting. They are specially designed for use with rifles that have low recoil as they aren't strong enough to withstand the force of high recoil. This has typically shorter eye relief as the milder recoil that you get from a rimfire rifle reduces the need to have long eye relief. They have a parallax setting of about 50 yards, meaning you should have a scope with a parallax setting for 25 or 50 yards instead of the typical 100 yards you often see on hunting scopes.
