This new magnified scope features a ranging component and illuminated reticle, improving aiming effectiveness in both low light and daylight conditions.

Designed by Pride-Fowler, Inc., the RR-CQLR-1 provides a precise aim regardless of the power or magnification settings.

The reticle is aligned in the first focal plane, keeping the reticle and target in the same proportion in any magnification. The RR-CQLR-1 is easily adjusted horizontally for windage and vertically for elevation with positive ¼ Minute of Angle (M.O.A) clicks on the low-profile, target-type knobs allowing the shooter to quickly compensate for crosswinds. Any changes made can be reset back to zero by simply clicking a button.

1-4x24mm and is encased in durable 30mm one-piece 6061-T6 aluminium tube, which is available in a matte black anodized finish.
