The new reticle is GPO’s G4i reticle that makes use of GPO’s iControl illumination system and provides a centrally located illuminated aiming point nestled in between a duplex style reticle with thick posts and a thinner crosshair. The design of the G4i reticle is optimized for shooting in low light environments and suitable for any species of game found on the North American continent, from varmints to elk. The ability for hunters to shoot in challenging light conditions is crucial for their success, and having a both a reticle and wide enough objective lens makes this task much easier.

This riflescope, like all other optics for sale from German Precision Optics, are backed by the company’s exclusive Spectacular Lifetime Warranty. Included with the scope are a few accessories like see-through scope bikini covers, a cleaning cloth and a battery for the illumination system.
