Introducing the Vector Optics Orion MAX 3-18x44 FFP Scope (SCFF-49), a target-level optic meticulously engineered to meet the demands of mid-to long-range shooting enthusiasts. Designed with precision and performance in mind, this scope boasts a host of advanced features to bring your shooting experience to new heights.

 

At the core of the Orion MAX lies cutting-edge Lanthanum Lens Technology with Extra Low Dispersion, setting it apart from conventional scopes. By harnessing the power of Lanthanum Lenses, this scope achieves vision, clarity and accuracy at a fraction of the cost of scopes with similar features, pushing the boundaries of optical performance beyond what's possible with traditional silicon-based lenses.

 

Experience minimal image dispersion and chromatic aberration, even at extended ranges, ensuring crisp and clear visuals with every shot. Additionally, the lenses are coated with advanced multi-coatings, providing a virtually glare-free shooting experience and reducing the need for sunshades when shooting in bright sunlight.

 

Equipped with a versatile 3-18x magnification range and a 44mm objective lens, the Orion MAX offers exceptional flexibility for a wide range of shooting applications. The narrower objective lens means a smaller aperture making parallax adjustments less required for rapid distance changing. This means whether you're engaging targets at close to the medium range or reaching out to distant targets, this scope delivers uncompromising performance and precision.

 

To make this scope a bit more of a multi-use optic the reticle has a central dot illumination improving visibility in various lighting conditions. This ensures optimal visibility of the VOR-4 MIL reticle during both daylight and twilight shooting scenarios.

 

Featuring 1/10 MIL adjustments with a zero-stop feature, the Orion MAX allows for effortless adjustments to dial in your shots with precision. Return effortlessly to a pre-set zero point, ensuring consistent and repeatable accuracy shot after shot.

 

Built for rugged durability, the Orion MAX boasts a robust 30mm tube construction and is nitrogen-filled for fogproof performance. With a waterproof rating of IPX4 and shockproof design capable of withstanding 750 G forces, this scope is engineered to excel in any environment.

    Hi Dave, glad you’re happy with the scope! That 30mm tube is perfect for mounting a bolt-on night vision like a PARD—way better than the basic 1" tubes that cut down on light transfer. You’ve definitely picked the best magnification for the job.


    If you fancy, a quick Google review from you would really make our day: https://g.page/r/CXX7GgcvADCQEAI/review

    Excellent service

    A great product, well priced and delivered a day earlier than expected. Thought I had an issue with the scope, in fact no issues at all, Julie sorted it out very quickly. I wouldn’t think twice about using Vector Air in the future. Thank you for a great service.

    Hi Peter,

    Thanks for the great review — really glad you’re enjoying your scope! We think the ORION MAX is one of the best all-rounders on the market right now, perfectly suited for everything from springers to powder burners. It’s great to see more shooters moving away from the old 1" tube, wire-reticle setups and into something that’s genuinely practical, reliable, and performance-focused.

    Just what the doctor ordered.


    Purchased as a temporary upgrade, but I'm impressed enough to hold off on replacing this sight for quite some time.


    Happy.
