Vector Optics Everest Gen II 3-18x50 SFP Riflescope  – Rugged Precision with 6x Zoom Power

The Vector Optics Everest Gen II 3-18x50 SFP Riflescope (SCOL-38) is engineered as a versatile optic for hunters, competitive shooters, and tactical marksmen seeking the perfect balance of magnification power, clarity, and durability. With its broad 3–18x zoom range and a large 50 mm objective lens, this scope is optimized for both medium-range versatility and long-range precision, delivering crisp, bright images across a wide spectrum of shooting environments.

Key Features

• Magnification Range: 3–18x for adaptable shooting, from dense woodland hunting to extended long-range engagements.
• Objective Lens: 50 mm with fully multi-coated glass for maximum brightness.
• Reticle Options: Etched-glass MOA or MIL reticles in Second Focal Plane (SFP), with optional illumination for twilight conditions.
• Tube: 30 mm monotube, CNC-machined from aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum.
• Adjustment System: 1/4 MOA per click with zero-reset and locking turret design.

Optical Performance

The Everest Gen II integrates a fully multi-coated optical system that enhances light transmission up to 90%, producing clear, high-contrast visuals even in challenging conditions. Its 50 mm objective lens maximizes brightness during dawn or dusk, while edge-to-edge image sharpness ensures consistent clarity. The 6x zoom ratio allows shooters to quickly transition from short-range scanning at 3x to long-distance precision shots at 18x.

Reticle & Focal Plane

Equipped with etched-glass reticles (MOA or MIL, depending on model), the Everest Gen II provides precise aiming points that remain consistent across the magnification range thanks to its Second Focal Plane design. The optional red illumination further enhances visibility in low-light conditions, allowing hunters and tactical users to retain speed and accuracy as light fades.

Precision Adjustments

• Click Value: 1/4 MOA (7 mm at 100 m) for precise adjustment.
• Total Adjustment Range: >60 MOA in elevation and windage, suitable for varied calibers and distances.
• Turret Features: Low-profile design with lockable turrets and a zero-stop function for quick return to zero after dialing corrections.
• Parallax Control: Side-focus adjustment from 10 m to infinity, ensuring a sharp image at all ranges.

Ergonomics & Comfort

• Eye Relief: 95–100 mm, ensuring comfort and safety even on rifles with heavy recoil.
• Exit Pupil: 16.6–2.8 mm, offering bright, usable images throughout the magnification range.
• Field of View: Approx. 11.6–2.1 m at 100 m, combining situational awareness with precision targeting.
• Diopter Adjustment: Fast-focus eyepiece with –2 to +2 correction, customizable for individual eyesight.

Durability & Build Quality

The Everest Gen II is built on a robust 30 mm aluminum monotube, designed to withstand the demands of field and range use. Shock-tested to 750 g, it is rated to handle recoil from calibers up to .308w . The scope is also fully nitrogen-purged, making it waterproof, fogproof, and resistant to internal lens condensation in extreme temperatures. Its matte-black anodized finish provides both scratch resistance and reduced glare in tactical environments.
