DESCRIPTION

The Valdada Recon G2 was created by Val of Valdada Optics in Texas, USA, who has been the state's importer for IOR Bucharesti Optics for years.

He has taken his wealth of knowledge and experience from selling the complete IOR range and created an optic that is in our opinion near enough perfect.

By taking the best features from the IOR range of optics and changing the design and specifications that in the past have put people off, the IOR Valdada Recon G2 was born.

The Valdada Recon G2 4.8-30x56 has been designed with long-range, ultra-precision shooting in mind. Constructed with a generous 40mm main tube that gives a maximum 150 MOA (42 MILS) of internal adjustment. To enable to ultimate in long-range shooting this adjustment range has not been limited, which will mean that optical integrity is somewhat compromised at the extreme ends of the turret travel (TOP & BOTTOM) to retain perfect optical performance.

To keep the scope in its sweet spot it is advised to keep the turret adjustment in the center of its travel like any rifle scope. This can be obtained with either an Adjustable MOA / MIL base such as the Heritage Arms which allow you to zero the rifle at your preferred zero point and use the adjustment within the base.

The Valdada Recon G2 4.8-30x56 contains the best German Schott Optical Glass on the market - and with a world-first pairing of Japanese ED glass being used in both the Objective and Ocular lenses, this creates an excellent combination of colour rendition, resolution and contrast; not too warm and not to close to the blue spectrum. Just, perfect for tactical style shooting & hunting. The benefits of the Japanese ED glass are bought in by providing excellent light transmission, colour rendition and an eye box that is extremely un-fussy; helping to give the shooter that cooler and brighter white image that is so popular across many alpha-glass manufacturers like Schmidt & Bender + Vortex. This really does give the shooter that instant 'WOW! This is a bright' factor. This superb optical system from Valdada has Zero Colour Aberration and is easily on the same pedestal that Zeiss, Schmidt & Kahles are on.

When it comes to its internals and mechanics the Valdada Recon G2 is simple and straightforward. It has 150 MOA (42mils of vertical adjustment), 1/4 MOA clicks and 25 MOA per revolution. The precise and quick Zero Stop setting ensures you never lose your zero position after a day of 'dialing'. The Mag Lock support system - on the reticle mechanism block and 4'' eye relief - shows where the Valdada Recon G2's real position is on long-range rifles, such as .375 Cheytac's, 408's and 50 BMG's.

PLUS Full Lifetime Warranty.

WHAT'S IN THE BOX

Valdada Recon G2 4.8-30x56 FFP Illuminated MIL/MIL SF Rifle Scope

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION(S)

How does the MIL/MIL reticle workflow benefit a precision shooter?

Using a MIL/MIL reticle with matching turrets allows direct correlation between reticle holds and turret clicks, simplifying range estimation, wind holds, and ballistic corrections without mental conversion between systems.

How consistent are the reticle subtensions throughout the magnification range?

Because it’s a first focal plane design, the MIL subtensions remain accurate at all magnification levels, so ranging and holdovers require no recalibration as power changes.

Does the illuminated centre point affect zero stability at all?

Illumination is optically isolated and does not interact with the mechanical or optical alignment, so switching illumination on or off does not affect point of impact or zero.

How does the optical quality compare with other high-end long-range glass?

The scope’s pairing of German and premium ED glass produces high resolution and contrast with minimal chromatic aberration, offering a “bright” and neutral colour image that helps clearly separate target details.

What’s the impact of keeping adjustment near the centre of turret travel?

Operating turrets near the centre maintains the optical system in its mechanical sweet spot, giving the best clarity and minimal distortion across the zoom range, especially important at extreme distances.

How precise is the 0.1 MIL click feel?

The turrets provide distinct, tactile feedback with each 0.1 MIL increment, allowing confident, repeatable adjustments — critical in competition or field situations where precision counts.

Is there any noticeable backlash or slack in the turrets?

Backlash is designed to be minimal. When reversing direction on a turret, the reticle responds immediately without perceptible slop, making small corrections more predictable.

How much internal adjustment travel does the scope really offer?

The combination of the large internal tube diameter and turret design provides very broad adjustment capability, critical for extreme ranges without needing excessive external base angle.

How does the scope maintain tracking under heavy recoil?

The rugged internal mechanics and reinforced reticle support system ensure consistent tracking and return to zero after significant recoil impulses from heavy calibres.

Is the illuminated MIL reticle usable in bright daylight?

While the illumination is most beneficial in low-light, the centre dot can still be visible in daylight at lower brightness if there’s enough contrast between the reticle and target background.

How forgiving is the eyebox at high magnification?

The design offers a relatively generous eyebox, reducing the “blackout” effect from slight head movement — especially useful during extended range sessions or unstable positions.

Can this scope’s reticle be used for moving target leads?

Yes. The clean MIL grid allows precision lateral holds for moving targets, provided the shooter has calculated hold values based on target speed and range.

Does heavy dialing to extremes degrade image quality?

Pushing the internal adjustment close to its mechanical limits can slightly shift the optical sweet spot, which is why centralizing adjustments is recommended for best visual performance.

Does high magnification reduce light transmission unacceptably?

Even at high zoom, the optical coatings and large objective maintain usable brightness; shooters still get good visual clarity into dusk or shaded areas.

How does the scope behave in wet, foggy, or harsh environments?

Fully sealed and nitrogen purged, the optic won’t fog internally in humid or cold conditions, and moisture cannot enter the main tube under rain or humidity.

Is the glass clarity good enough to read mirage and wind indicators?

Yes — the high contrast and resolution make environmental cues like mirage waves and subtle object movement easier to interpret for wind doping.

Does the reticle clutter become distracting at low magnification?

The MIL reticle remains functional at low power with minimal clutter, so shooters can maintain situational awareness without losing reticle usability.

What kind of rifles best match this scope’s performance envelope?

This optic excels on precision platforms where ballistic consistency and long-range engagement capability are priorities — for example, purpose-built precision rifles rather than general hunting rigs.
