The Shooting Party has announced a compact addition to its PAO (Professional Airgun Optics) range of riflescopes.
The first focal plane HD MAX 4-16x44 SF FFP Ultra Compact scope delivers a raft of features and extras for its modest £229 price tag.
Set for release in November, the tiny scope is just 23cm long and weighs a mere 430g. Specifications include a fast-focus eyepiece, multi-coated first focal plane glass-etched reticle and side parallax focusing down to 10 yards. It is manufactured from 30mm aircraft grade aluminium alloy with a hard-anodised matte finish and features push/pull lockable, resettable turrets with zero-stop function to prevent accidental loss of zero.
Rated for airguns, rimfire and centrefire rifles, the HD MAX 4-16x44 SF FFP Ultra Compact is shockproof, waterproof, dust proof, fog proof and nitrogen-purged. It is supplied with a set of 20mm Picatinny mounts, 80mm sunshade, detachable zoom throw lever, flip-up lens covers and removable oversized parallax wheel, and is covered by the PAO Lifetime “replace-not repair” warranty.
Mike Hurney, chairman of The Shooting Party, said: “This scope is unfeasibly compact, but the larger 30mm tube allows for more light to pass through, resulting in brighter and clearer images, especially in low-light conditions. The specification is truly impressive. What a scope and what a price!”
