Crimson Trace CTL5108 1-8x28mm Tactical Rifle Scope SR-1 MIL

The Crimson Trace CTL5108 delivers precision variable magnification for tactical applications requiring both close-quarters speed and long-range accuracy. This 1-8x28mm optic bridges the gap between red dot reflexes and traditional magnified scopes with its wide magnification range and illuminated reticle system.

What Makes This Different

The 5-Series platform combines a true 1x setting for both-eyes-open shooting with 8x magnification for precision engagements out to 600+ yards. The 34mm main tube provides 30% more internal adjustment range compared to standard 30mm tubes, while the SR-1 MIL reticle offers holdover points calibrated for 5.56/.223 ballistics. Low-profile turrets maintain a snag-free profile during dynamic movement.

Key Features

• 1-8x variable magnification with true 1x setting for CQB applications
• 34mm tube diameter provides maximum internal adjustment travel
• Illuminated SR-1 MIL reticle with multiple brightness settings
• 28mm objective lens optimized for low-light performance
• Black anodized aluminum construction rated for centerfire recoil
• Low-profile tactical turrets with audible/tactile clicks
• Compatible with standard 34mm scope rings and mounts

Field testing demonstrates reliable tracking across the full magnification range, with the illuminated reticle remaining visible in bright daylight conditions. The scope maintains zero through temperature extremes and heavy recoil cycles typical of semi-automatic platforms. Competition shooters benefit from the fast target acquisition at 1x, while precision applications utilize the clear 8x magnification for detailed shot placement.
