ZeroTech Optics has just expanded its 3-12x, second-focal-plane riflescope product line, with new reticle options that include the following new reticles:

ZeroTech R3

ZeroTech’s R3 reticle is built all around using MOA as its angular units. The R3 reticle provides a clean sight picture with precise references. There are 1-MOA subtensions, hash marks every 4 MOA, and a floating center dot that easily draws the eye. The ZeroTech R3 reticle teams perfectly with the Vengeance’s compact design, delivering confident wind holds in real-world conditions.

ZeroTech PHR 4

The PHR 4 reticle uses a classic approach to a second-focal-plane hunting riflescope. It blends its bolder outer posts with finer inner lines to aid in aiming precision. In turn, the PHR 4 lends itself well to both general-purpose scoped shooting and hunting applications. The top portion of this reticle is “open” to make it easier to look through the scope as well.

ZeroTech PHR4 Illuminated

This reticle is identical to the PHR 4, but also has the added capability of illumination for low or challenging light conditions. This variant includes six different brightness settings.

ZeroTech Vengeance 3-12x Riflescope Features

  • 3–12x Magnification 
  • 1-inch maintube
  • Side Parallax: 15 meters to infinity
  • Fully multi-coated optics
  • R3 reticle has a floating center dot, 1-MOA subtensions and 4-MOA hash marks
  • PHR 4 reticle features bold posts, fine inner lines and an open top for maximum visibility
  • PHR 4 Illuminated reticle has six brightness settings for low-light control
  • Locking, zero-reset turrets and removable throw lever for fast, repeatable adjustments and quick power changes

The ZeroTech Vengeance 3-12x40 mm second-focal-plane riflescope is a lightweight, general-purpose field scope designed for hunters and marksmen looking to add a magnified shooting capability to their rifles. This riflescope is built around a 1-inch maintube and includes .25-MOA click-adjustment turrets. It also has a side parallax-adjustment knob that focuses from 15 meters to infinity. Its turrets also lock and come with a zero-reset capability. All of its attributes make it ideal to add to most classically styled hunting rifles.
