ZeroTech LPVO

For a low-Power, variable optic (LPVO), field-of-view (FOV) is more than just a specification, it’s the difference between spotting a target in time or missing it entirely. This is why the new Thrive HD 1-8x24 from ZeroTech USA is designed with one of the widest FOVs in its class.

Imagine tracking a fast-moving target through dense brush or scanning open terrain for elusive prey. At 1X magnification, the Thrive HD gives you an industry-leading 124.79 feet FOV at 100 yards, letting you see more of your surroundings while keeping your target in view. Even at 8X magnification, you still enjoy 15.29 feet of FOV, ensuring clarity and awareness for medium-range engagements.

The Thrive HD is built to handle whatever you throw at it. Built from 7075-T6 aluminum, this LPVO combines strength and reliability with a lightweight design that is waterproof, fog-proof, and shockproof as well.

The Thrive HD 1-8x24 has two reticle options, PHR 4 and German 4. The PHR 4 is a modern reticle with sub tensions permitting speed and leading moving targets, while the G4 is a classic style reticle for fast, intuitive target acquisition. Both reticle options are illuminated, for visibility in low-light situations. The second-focal-plane (SFP) reticle allows for maximum visibility over the entire magnification range and a consistent reticle picture, no matter the magnification.
