I'm Mark Harris, Team Leader for Product Intelligence at Optics Planet.
I'm here today to talk to you about the Alpen Kodiak 6-24x50mm
Wide-Angle Rifle Scope.
Wanted to point out that we grabbed something out of the safe that we had
handy to put the rifle scope on.
Ideally, this is not your best set up with the front sight here, so we know.
You may not be familiar with Alpen. They've been around for sixteen years. If
you want to get into long range shooting, whether you're doing target shooting or
whether you're hunting, and you don't want to drop $2-3000, this is a great
way to get started with long-range. It has some marvelous features. It has an adjustable
objective, it'll correct for parallax as close as fifteen yards and out to infinity.
It gives you a pretty good field of view at the highest magnification. At one hundred
yards at the 24x, you'll have a 6ft field of view, so you won't
have a problem zeroing in on that target and getting nice and lined up for your shot. Has a fast
focus eye piece, it has multi-coated optics. It has capped turrets, so they don't
get bumped in the field, change your adjustments. These turrets can be set to zero,
so you have a starting point to return to if you're out in the field and you make some
adjustments to this.
You may notice the length of this scope seems a little longer than you're used to. That
is partially a function of the high magnification on this. This is a one-inch
main tube, with this 50mm objective, you're going to need high
rings to clear most barrels. If you have a bolt-action rifle with a bull
barrel or a target barrel,
you're probably gonna need to consider extra high rings to get it up high enough to clear that.
It has a wonderful matte finish, so it's not going to be reflective to spook game, if
you are using this is a hunting rifle scope. If you're going to use this for
target shooting, the adjustments on the scope - one click equals 1/8in
at 100yds. Very nice product for the price. If you compare this to
optics that cost two to three times as much, you're gonna be pleasantly surprised
with this. This is a great value, this is money well spent.
The more familiar we become with Alpen products, we find that they're just an outstanding
value. We hope that you'll take a look at them as well.
I'm Mark Harris, thanks for watching.
