ZeroTech Optics Trace ED 1-10x24mm FFP LPVO

ZeroTech Optics just added a new first-focal-plane LPVO to its catalog, the new Trace ED 1-10x24 FFP. This new LPVO (low-power, variable optic) is built around a 6061 aluminum 34mm maintube and includes all of the features shooters expect in a high-end LPVO, including ED optical glass, but for a fraction of the price. In addition to the new ZeroTech Trade ED 1-10X having a first-focal-plane reticle, its illuminated RMG reticle is designed to dovetail smoothing between 1X and 10X magnification. On low magnification, the RMG reticle has thick, heavy pointed bars that the eye can pick up quickly in conjunction with the illuminated segmented ring, which functions exactly like a red dot at 1X.

On the other hand, at higher zoom settings, the RMG reticle offers shooters a very fine central aiming point and an MRAD based grid complete with two main vertical and horizontal stadia lines that are hashed out by 1 MRAD and .5 MRAD intervals for ease of use.
