Vector Optics Sentinel 8‑32x50 SFP E‑SF Riflescope – Ultimate Tactical Precision at Long Range
The Vector Optics Sentinel 8‑32x50 SFP E‑SF is a high-magnification scope engineered for demanding shooters—competitive long-range marksmen, snipers, extreme distance hunters, and tactical teams. With true 8×–32× magnification, a large 50 mm objective lens, and a second focal plane design, this optic delivers razor-sharp clarity, rock-solid mechanics, and fully featured customization suited for ultimate precision.
High-Performance Optical System
Equipped with fully multi-coated ED/LaREE elements and VePRO coatings, the lens achieves over 90 % light transmission across the visible spectrum. The bright and contrast-rich image remains crisp edge-to-edge and distortion-free from 8× through 32×—ideal for fine shot placement and high-resolution target identification.
Ergonomic Side-Focus & Turrets
- Side-focus/parallax adjustment: Precisely marked from 10 yds to infinity; focuses crisply for varied ranges and lighting conditions.
- 1/8 MOA turret adjustments: Tactile, audible clicks with long-throw travel and zero-reset feature.
- Turret-lock mechanism: Pull-up design locks turrets when closed, preventing accidental dial movement during transport or recoil.
Built for Rugged Use
- 30 mm aircraft-grade aluminum tube: Nitrogen-purged and O-ring sealed—shock-proof to ~1000 G, waterproof to 1 m, fog-proof across temperature extremes.
- Fast-focus eyepiece: Adjustable diopter (–3 to +2) to ensure sharp reticle clarity.
- Compact design: Approximately 370 mm total length with forward turret integration—perfect for tactical rifle builds and compact chassis.
Reticle & Illumination
This scope features a fine-wire tactical reticle e‑SF‑4 (MIL-based) laser-etched into the second focal plane. With 6-step red illumination and a central aiming dot, it supports range estimation and holdovers across the magnification range while providing bright reticle visibility in dusk, dawn, or low-light environments.
Tactical & Competitive Strengths
- Magnification: 8×–32× true zoom—long-range capability in a mid-size profile.
- Objective Lens: 50 mm for exceptional light gathering during low-light engagements.
- Reticle: e‑SF‑4 tactical MIL reticle, non-scaling.
- Click Value: 1/8 MOA suitable for F-Class competition and sniper-level precision.
- Focus Range: Side-focus from 10 yd to ∞ allows fast adjustment for varying target distances.
- Weight: ~820 g (1.8 lb)—light enough for mobile platforms, stable under recoil.
- Length: ~370 mm, featuring compact turret housing.
Included Accessories
- Honeycomb sunshade and flip-up lens caps
- 30 mm Picatinny mounting rings
- Cleaning cloth, turret zero-set tool, and instruction manual
- Protective hard-case packaging
Performance & Real-World Use
Users praise the Sentinel 8‑32×50 for delivering "surprisingly glass clarity at long distances" and the robust turret system that holds zero under heavy recoil. Thin reticle lines and illuminated center dot make it ideal for 600+ yd target work, though low-light users may need to dial brightness fully for visibility at night.
