[SHOT 2024] Apex Optics Shows Off Edge Riflescope With New HCR Reticle
Apex Optics introduced their latest innovation at SHOT 2024 with the Edge 1-10×24 riflescope, featuring the new and unique HCR reticle which adapts to varying magnifications. Designed with versatility in mind, the HCR reticle functions as a multi-part red dot at lower magnification (1-5x), ideal for close-range targets. When adjusting from 6x to the maximum 10x magnification, the reticle transforms into a modified Christmas tree style, catering to long-distance shooting preferences.
The new scope features a premium ED Japanese APO glass which delivers an impressive 99.7% light transmission. The craft behind the Apex Edge scope is attributed to Japan Optics which ensures the device is dry argon purged and sealed, enhancing its durability and performance in the field. Additional features such as the stainless steel locking turrets with an elevation zero stop demonstrate that each aspect was carefully engineered for reliability and user convenience. Fixed parallax is set to 150 yards, making the scope a sound choice for a broad range of shooting activities.

Why doesn't anyone make an actually dusk/dawn useful scope? Like, something slick,lightweight in 1.5-6x40 or so. Instead of the whole operator LPVO crap with the tight eyebox and bad lowlight performance
Wonder what the field of view is at 1x?
