The Truglo TG8516TL Tru-Brite 30 delivers variable magnification precision with tactical versatility for modern sporting rifles. This 1-6x24mm scope bridges the gap between close-quarters engagement and medium-range precision shooting. The illuminated duplex mil-dot reticle provides rapid target acquisition at low magnification while offering precise holdover calculations at higher power settings.
What Makes This Different
The wide field of view design maximizes peripheral vision awareness during dynamic shooting scenarios. Unlike fixed-power optics, the 1-6x magnification range adapts from room-clearing distances to 300-yard precision shots without scope changes. The 30mm main tube diameter provides superior light transmission compared to standard 1-inch tubes while maintaining compatibility with most tactical rings.
Key Features
- Variable 1-6x magnification with 24mm objective lens for versatile engagement distances
- Illuminated duplex mil-dot reticle with multiple brightness settings for low-light conditions
- 30mm aircraft-grade aluminum tube construction for enhanced durability and light gathering
- Wide field of view design optimized for both-eyes-open shooting techniques
- Fully multi-coated lenses deliver maximum light transmission and clarity
- Nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed for complete waterproof and fog-proof performance
- Low-profile turrets with audible and tactile click adjustments
Field testing demonstrates reliable tracking and consistent zero retention across temperature extremes and recoil cycles. The scope performs effectively in competitive 3-gun events, tactical training exercises, and hunting applications where shot opportunities vary from 25 to 300 yards. The black matte finish eliminates glare while resisting scratches and corrosion in harsh environmental conditions.
