Vector Optics Continental x8 1-8x24 ED LPVO Fiber 30mm Rifle Scope
The Vector Optics Continental x8 1-8x24 ED LPVO delivers fast, versatile performance for close to mid-range hunting, combining true 1x to 8x magnification with a German #4 fibre centre dot reticle for rapid target acquisition in bright daylight. Premium ED glass, German Schott HT lenses and fully multi-coated optics provide up to 93% light transmission for exceptional clarity. A robust 30mm tube, capped turrets, and IP67 waterproof, nitrogen-purged construction ensure reliability in demanding field conditions.
The Vector Optics Continental x8 1-8x24 ED LPVO is a compact, high-performance low-power variable optic designed for fast, instinctive shooting in small game and varmint hunting scenarios. With true 1x magnification, it allows confident two-eyes-open shooting at close range, while the 8x top end provides the precision needed for more deliberate shots at distance.
At the heart of the scope is the German #4 reticle with an ultra-bright fibre centre dot, delivering rapid target acquisition even in strong daylight. The 11-gear illuminated fibre dot ensures the reticle remains clearly visible across all lighting conditions, making it exceptionally effective for dynamic hunting environments. As a second focal plane optic, the reticle maintains a consistent size throughout the magnification range for intuitive use.
Optical performance is a standout feature, thanks to ED glass, German Schott HT lenses, LaREE HD elements and VePRO fully multi-coated optics, achieving up to 93% light transmission. This combination delivers sharp, high-contrast images with excellent colour fidelity and minimal glare, even in challenging light.
Built around a robust 30mm aluminium tube, the Continental x8 offers a generous 280 MOA elevation and windage adjustment range with precise ½ MOA clicks. Capped turrets protect your zero from accidental movement, while a comfortable 100mm eye relief ensures safe, consistent shooting.
Durability is assured with a nitrogen-purged, fog-proof design, IP67 waterproofing, and a shock-resistant construction rated to withstand heavy recoil. Finished in matte black and weighing just 504g, this LPVO balances strength, clarity and speed in a refined, field-ready optic built for serious hunters.
