Vector Optics Grizzly 3-18x56i HD Fiber Dot Rifle Scope – High-Power Precision with Fiber Illumination
The Vector Optics Grizzly 3-18x56i is a premium rifle scope engineered for demanding long-range shooters, tactical marksmen, and dedicated hunters. Combining high-definition optics, rugged construction, and an advanced illuminated reticle, the Grizzly is ideal for precision engagement in both daylight and low-light scenarios. Its robust feature set, including a large 56mm objective lens, German #4 illuminated reticle, and exposed tactical turrets, makes it a reliable companion in challenging terrain and high-pressure conditions.
Exceptional Optical Clarity with Low-Light Mastery
Built for scenarios where light is limited and accuracy is critical, the Grizzly features a 56mm objective lens that captures maximum ambient light, delivering superior brightness and resolution even at dawn or dusk. The LaREE & VePRO fully multi-coated lenses provide up to 90% light transmission, reducing glare and chromatic aberration while ensuring high contrast and color fidelity across the full magnification range.
- Magnification Range: 3x to 18x with crystal-clear image quality throughout.
- Objective Lens Diameter: 56mm for excellent low-light performance and target clarity.
- Coating System: Proprietary LaREE & VePRO full multi-coatings on all glass surfaces.
German #4 Fiber Illuminated Reticle in Second Focal Plane (SFP)
At the heart of the Grizzly is a German #4 Fiber Dot Reticle, combining a traditional design with modern fiber illumination. Ideal for fast target acquisition in wooded areas or against dark backgrounds, the reticle's fiber-optic center dot remains sharp and visible under all conditions. It offers six adjustable brightness levels and a true daylight-visible setting for bright environments.
- Reticle Type: German #4 Fiber Dot – clean and intuitive for hunting and tactical use.
- Illumination: 6-level adjustable fiber optic brightness control.
- Focal Plane: Second Focal Plane (SFP) – reticle size remains constant across zoom levels.
Precision Engineering & Tactical Adjustments
Fine-tune your shot with 1/10 MIL turret adjustments, offering tactile and audible feedback with every click. The exposed tactical turrets are lockable and include zero-reset functionality, ensuring fast return-to-zero after dial-up adjustments. A side parallax knob allows for sharp focus from as close as 10 yards out to infinity—critical for both benchrest and field use.
- Click Value: 1/10 MIL for precise elevation and windage tuning.
- Total Adjustment Range: 28 MIL for both elevation and windage.
- Parallax Adjustment: Side-focus from 10 yards to infinity.
- Turret Style: Tactical exposed with lockable caps and zero-reset function.
Built for the Harshest Recoil and Environments
Constructed from a 30mm aircraft-grade aluminum alloy monotube, the Grizzly is built to endure harsh use and powerful recoil up to .338 Lapua Magnum. It is shockproof, fogproof, and IPX6 waterproof, nitrogen-purged and sealed to function reliably in extreme weather. The rubberized magnification ring and fast-focus eyepiece provide excellent ergonomics and intuitive control, even with gloved hands.
- Tube Diameter: 30mm – compatible with a wide range of rings and mounts.
- Material: Aircraft-grade aluminum alloy, fully anodized matte black finish.
- Eye Relief: Long 100mm (4 inches) for safe use with heavy calibers.
- Recoil Resistance: Tested with .338 Lapua Magnum and equivalent forces.
- Environmental Protection: Waterproof (IPX6), fogproof, shockproof, nitrogen-filled.
Real-World Use Cases
The Grizzly 3-18x56i is engineered for versatility—used by hunters targeting wild boar or deer at twilight, competition shooters engaging steel at extended ranges, and tactical professionals requiring a dependable optic in variable light conditions. With a wide magnification range, fast reticle acquisition, and uncompromising mechanical precision, this scope is ready for any mission or hunt.
