Element Optics Helix Gen II 4-16x44 FFP MPR-1C 1/4 MOA 30mm Rifle Scope
The Element Optics Helix Gen II 4-16x44 FFP MPR-1C 1/4 MOA 30mm is a compact, properly refined mid-range precision scope that takes the already solid Helix platform and tightens it up for better usability and consistency. The 4–16x magnification gives you a very usable spread for everything from closer field shots to stretched-out range work, while the 44mm objective and fully multi-coated optics keep the image bright, sharp, and reliable in real-world conditions. The MPR-1C first focal plane reticle in 1/4 MOA is clean but still gives you enough structure for holdovers and wind calls without turning the sight picture into clutter. You also get precise 1/4 MOA clicks, a tool-free zero-stop system, and improved turret feel with consistent tracking, making it a dependable option for both hunting and range use. It’s basically a lightweight, practical scope that sits in that sweet spot between simple hunting optics and full-on competition setups.

The HELIX GEN 2 continues the legacy of our original HELIX line of riflescopes, with industry-leading reliability and performance taken to the next level with new features and further design improvements.
The important things come first: Reliable tracking, intelligent reticles, innovative features and a user-friendly turret system. The turret system is tool-free and now features 20 MOA per revolution. The zero-stop mechanism ensures you never lose track of where you are, and the First Focal Plane reticle ensures precise reticle calibration at all magnifications. Optically, the familiar 4x erector system is complemented by a new design allowing for a larger field of view and a more forgiving eye-box. Stringent quality control checks are in place to ensure repeatable performance under harsh conditions, and if something goes wrong, the Platinum Lifetime Warranty has you covered!
