Nikon Aculon A211 16x50 Zoom Binoculars - Black

Product Information

The FFP Half Mil reticle was developed specifically for first focal plane optical systems and based around the common principles of mil spaced reticles. With half mil spaced markings out beyond 5 mil in all directions, the FFP Half Mil is a versatile reticle that provides aim points no matter how extreme the conditions. POWERFUL MAGNIFICATION, SUPERIOR PICTURE – Traditional style binoculars with 16x magnification and a wide-angle 50mm lens. To range, place the cross hair on your target and press either button on the objective bell. In less than a second, the range to your target and a lighted dot will appear indicating the correct aiming point for your specific ammunition for the distance to the target. A very long winded model name for what is essentially a rimfire scope with premium centerfire features (more below), unique selling point is a BDC reticle calibrated for .22 subsonic ammo.

The reticle works, it is a graduated scale from '50' in the centre of scope going down in '25' increments out to '200' but I think this is a little optimistic as I would not shoot past 125m at live quarry. The scope is second focal plane as this is necessary for the BDC to work. 14x is listed as accurate for metric ranges and 16x for imperial. As you increase mag the space between aiming points decreases, and vice versa for decreasing mag. Important to note, if you take a shot with the scope at 4x using the BDC it will not be accurate (the round will go a lot higher than intended!).The FFP Half Mil-Dot reticle was developed specifically for first focal plane optical systems and based around the common principles of mil spaced reticles. EDGE-TO-EDGE CLARITY – The Porro prism system ensures that these binoculars avoid unsightly vignetting around the edge of the view.

Adjustable parallax (please stop calling it 'side focus'!) via turret from 10 yards (big plus) to infinity. (By the way, the graduated scale is not accurate, but I really don't care as it is not a ranging tool!)
