Element Optics Helix HD 2-16x50 RAPTR-1 MRAD Riflescope

Element Optics scopes go through one of the most rigorous tests in the industry on .50 BMG rifles and over 15,000J before they are deemed worthy of the Element Optics name. Riflescopes go beyond the standard when it comes to aspects such as water resistance, shock resistance, return to zero tests, and recoil simulation.

Construction

The riflescopes are made on precise CNC machines. The reinforced 30mm tube is made of one piece of 6061 - T6 aircraft aluminum, which guarantees resistance to recoil, corrosion, mechanical damage, and scratches.

The length of the scope is 340 mm and the weight is 728 grams, which means that it does not significantly increase the weight of the PCP rifle or the firearm on which it is mounted.

Innovative adjustment turrets work smoothly, thanks to which we will be able to zero our riflescope without any problems even in difficult conditions. They are equipped with durable internal elements made of stainless steel, allowing us to constantly adjust them because they are often used in most shooting disciplines and difficult weather conditions.

The turrets in this model are covered, so we have to unscrew special covers and then we have access to our turrets. The turrets are much lower than standard ones, which makes them easier to put in a case.

Turret adjustment is up to 29MRAD (100MOA) (up, down) and 13MRAD (45MOA) (right, left).

This scope doesn't have a quick zero system, but that doesn't mean you can't keep your zero settings. The set includes two rings that will hold your ZERO.

Lenses

Element Optics HD was created specifically for hunters. It was created from scratch so that you can shoot at dawn and dusk, it has a small two-time zoom, and it is perfect for using various types of night vision and thermal imaging attachments.

In terms of optical parameters, the scope will be very similar to the Titan scope, as they have the same glass quality, similar chemical composition of the objective elements, and the same number of lenses. This improved optical performance puts the scope above other scopes in the Helix series, as both the Helix 4-16x and 6-24 have 4x zoom optical systems while the Helix HD has an 8x zoom system.

This optical system means you can magnify more without seeing optical imperfections, allowing the scope to go from 2x to 16x magnification extremely smoothly, and you will notice the improved optical system immediately when you look through the scope.

The scope has a reticle in the SFP secondary plane because most hunters love working and shooting on this reticle.

Quality He has equipped the riflescopes he produces with amazing quality HD lenses. Brightness, sharpness, and image resolution are a priority for designers when it comes to building a professional riflescope.

Precise sealing and filling the optics with nitrogen eliminates the problem of internal lens fogging, making the riflescope resistant to rain, snow, and water immersion.

Meshes

HELIX HD RAPTR-1 has nets in the second plane (SFP Second Focus Plane) because it is a straight net that hunters like very much. A very simple cross-designed in the Helix HD scope allows for very accurate shooting at distances of 100, 200, and even 500 meters.

In the approximation we have 8x magnification marked in red, this means that this scope was calibrated at 8x approximation for the .308 Winchester 168 gr Soft Point 2600fps(792m/s) rifle, but since different cartridges give different trajectories, and the 8x zoom is right in the middle, so you can increase or decrease your zoom to calibrate the scope for a given rifle and bullet and find your settings.

This scope has an illuminated reticle with 6 settings, and only the point in the center of the reticle is illuminated, as it is one of the most popular reticles among hunters.

Metricity in MRAD

HELIX HD RAPTR-1 MRAD has the metric system adjustment expressed in MRAD. Thanks to such a system, conversion and corrections become much simpler and less complicated than adjustments in MOA. The 0.1 MRAD drum click moves the reticle by 1 cm per 100 m. Due to the ease of use of the MRAD unit, it is preferred by most long-shot shooters, it is a standard in military optics, and is much more often used by people from Europe.
