Over the years LUCID Optics has had several requests for a First Focal plane, MIL / MIL rifle scope. While we were growing into the rifle scope space from the red dot market, we always found fascination with the first focal plane optical engineering in rifle scopes. So when it came time to bring an optic like this into our mix, we went to the matches and sat at the bench with competitive PRS shooters and professional bad guy hunters alike. It was in these discussions that we learned exactly what the needs of a First Focal plane optic operator may want. True to LUCID Optics ideal we balanced the “Must Have”, list of features and benefits with the “Want to Have”, list of specifications and are proud to introduce the MLX Rifle scope.
This precision optic was built from the ground up, offering a crystal clear 4.5-18x magnification range , built on a proven and easy to mount, 30mm, one piece, 6063 aluminum tube construction with nearly 6” of mounting length. The optical system is set on the Front Focal plane, keeping the MLX reticle measurement aspects precisely consistant through the entire range of magnification. The NEW MLX reticle is a highly useful Mil based reticle with over 10 MILS of measurement in “hold over” and 5 MILS of hold under available on the higest magnification in the field of view. The windage and elevation turrets are metered in a precise 1/10 MIL tactile and audible click adjustment increments featuring a very useful “Lift, Adjust Press down to lock, Lift Higher to re-zero”, mechanisms designed for secure and precise adjustments available to meet the needs of the shot. The glass selection and lens coatings have been specifically designed to offer an exceptional high resolution image through the carefully balanced optical engineering with a 44mm objective lens providing the light gathering performance second to few.
As always here at LUCID Optics we took all of the above in product “Wants, Needs & Desires,” in quality, balanced by affordability, then packed into a unique optic with a LUCID optics Lifetime Warranty. We are additionally proud of being able to offer this optic at a price that is shockingly low. The way we see it, no need to compromise on quality and the benefit of simply having more money for ammo is all yours.
