Vector Optics Orion MAX Lanthanum Lens 4-16x44 SFP Scope (SCOL-62)

SKU SCOL-62
Original price

£169.00

Sale price

£135.00

Introducing the Vector Optics Orion Pro, a target-level optic meticulously engineered to meet the demands of mid-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 Pro 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 magnification range and a generous 44mm objective lens, the Orion Pro 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 reticle during both daylight and twilight shooting scenarios.

 

Featuring 1/10 MIL adjustments with a zero-stop feature, the Orion Pro 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 Pro 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 Roger, I'm glad you trust the Orion—it's become the new go-to standard for air rifle scopes, and honestly, it's hard to go wrong with one. Sounds like you've built quite the collection! It makes a perfect addition to something like the Walther RM8 or any solid backyard plinker.

    Scope

    You've asked for an honest review, so here it is.....ive bought several air rifles and scopes, from Vector.....on this occasion, t bought a reasonably priced rifle scope, on Andy's recommendation.....on opening the box, I found that the vertical adjustment couldn't be locked...windage was fine, it pushed in to lock but the vertical adjustment couldn't be locked. I mailed Vector ( ive never managed to contact by phone) they sent me a video of how to use the zero stop...this was a generic utube

    Hi Stuart, many thanks for your review. You are correct that the vertical adjustment doesn’t lock, because this is a zero stop turret not a locking turret. I’m not sure what link you were sent to try to guide you on this, but here is a link to Andy’s (AAR) guide for this type of Orion scope https://youtu.be/SLWBKxFpqp8?si=X5UE3DNcB7iH3lBJ kind regards Vector Air

    Amazing value for money

    This is now my 4th Vector Optics scope from Vector Air and I can honestly say they are hard to beat for the money. The Orion Max is the update to the already exceptional Orion which I already have and the changes are brilliant. The lens is clear and bright which I need with my ageing sight and I find 4x16 mag adequate for my middle distance target shooting. The zero stop elevation turret takes a bit of getting used to but I’m fine with it now. All in all well done Vector.

    Hi Mark, great to hear from a seasoned Vector Optics user! You’ve summed it up perfectly—if you care about performance over paying for a brand name, these scopes are a no-brainer. The Orion MAX really brings some thoughtful upgrades, and we're glad to hear it's helping with clarity for your shooting setup. Smart shooter's choice indeed!

    Hi John,

    Thanks for leaving a review! By “light”, I’m guessing you mean the illumination? If so, have you tried turning it up or checking the battery? On the brightest setting, it’s actually far too strong for shaded use 😎.


    If you meant the brightness of the image itself (light transmission), then this 30mm tube is leaps and bounds ahead of the cheap 1" scopes, so either your eyes or the scope might be having a moment — but overall, I hope it is still doing the job you need.
