Element Optics Helix HD LR 2-16x50 ED SFP Illuminated APR-1C MOA ¼ MOA SF 30mm Rifle Scope
If you want a versatile, mid-range scope that leans more toward clarity and usability than overcomplicated features, the Element Optics Helix HD LR 2-16x50 ED SFP Illuminated APR-1C MOA is a really solid all-rounder. It gives you a flexible 2–16x magnification range, which makes it just as comfortable up close as it is stretching out to longer distances. The 50mm objective and ED glass keep the image bright and clear, while the second focal plane APR-1C MOA reticle stays simple and easy to read, especially with illumination for low-light shooting. You also get a 30mm tube for decent adjustment range, capped turrets for a more field-friendly feel, and a proper zero-stop on the elevation turret for repeatable dialing. It’s built as a practical hunting and target scope that focuses on reliability, clarity, and ease of use rather than being overly busy or tactical.

The Element Helix 2-16x50 HD LR has been designed to offer a low base magnification for close quarter shooting for either hunting or target applications yet gives the capabilities of engaging targets out to 400-600 yards thanks to the highest magnification of 16x and MOA milling reticle designed for offering quick hold off and hold under calls.
The Element Helix 2-16x50 HD LR differs from the standard HD Helix 2-16x50 in a couple of major ways, one being the HD LR comes with external target turrets with ¼ MOA clicks and the other is a mechanical zero stop.
At the centre of the Element Helix 2-16x50 HD LR is top-quality ED glass with HD coatings providing superb resolution and clarity in all light conditions. The second focal plane APR-1c MOA reticle comes with illumination and it is the whole reticle that illuminates which helps the shooter pick up the reticle in low light conditions.
The Element Helix 2-16x50 has a compact lightweight design and comes with side focus down to 10 yards so it can be paired with a huge array of rifles for multiple different applications which include air rifles to centrefire rifles. The side focus adjustment allows for use with night vision add on unit opening the door for a quality day optic to be used a versatile night hunting implement.
The same robust and rugged features of the Helix range of optics are seen in the Element Helix 2-16x50 HD LR such as a versatile magnification range, repeatable turrets and a solid 30mm main tube.
