FAQ
What does "First Focal Plane" mean and why does it matter?
A First Focal Plane (FFP) reticle is positioned at the front of the scope's erector system, meaning the reticle size scales with the image as you zoom in or out. This is critically important for precision shooting because your holdover marks, mil dots, and ranging subtensions remain accurate at every magnification setting - not just at maximum power. FFP scopes are the preferred choice for long-range and tactical shooting where dialing magnification mid-shot is common.
Is the Apex 4.5-27x50 suitable for hunting or is it primarily a target/competition scope?
It's well-suited for both. The wide 4.5-27x magnification range means you can run lower power for moving targets or closer shots and dial up to 27x for precise long-range work. The illuminated reticle helps in low-light dawn and dusk hunting scenarios, while the FFP reticle and 1/4 MOA adjustments satisfy the needs of precision rifle competitors and long-range target shooters.
What is the honeycomb filter included with the scope?
The honeycomb filter (also called a sunshade or anti-reflection device) attaches to the front of the objective lens to reduce glare from direct sunlight and prevent lens flare that can wash out your image or give away your position. It's a useful accessory for shooting in bright outdoor conditions.
Does this scope hold zero well under heavy recoil?
Yes. The Apex 4.5-27x50 is rated shockproof up to 800G (where G equals the acceleration of gravity in feet-per-second), which is well above what most hunting and target rifles generate. It is engineered to maintain its zero through the repeated recoil of high-powered cartridges.
What rings and mounts are compatible with this scope?
Picatinny rings are included in the box, making it ready to mount on any rifle with a Picatinny (MIL-STD-1913) or compatible rail. The scope's 30mm main tube diameter means you'll need 30mm rings if you source your own - do not use 1-inch rings as they will not fit correctly.
