4x20mm 4x20 Telescopic Scope for 22 Calibre Rifles & Air Rifle Gun Cross hair Scopes

Product Information

The beauty of these is if by any chance, you deem the binocular (which is tiny anyway) to be too big for your needs, you can just break it in half and simply carry about one of the monoculars. The Division 11 prize is a fixed amount of 100 rubles and is paid out before the remaining prize divisions are calculated based on the percentages above. Featuring 3/8? Mounts as standard with easy to use adjustments, the MountMaster series fits just about any discipline you require.

More impressive was the fact that when I converted it into the 16x Spotting Scope, whilst a little more obvious, color fringing was no more than what I would expect to see on something like a 10x binocular. Contrary to what most people assume, when it comes to the magnification on binoculars and monoculars for the majority of uses, more is very often not better. The level of Anti-Reflection Lens Coatings is in my opinion one of, if not the most important things to look for when buying binoculars and so it is important to note that the Pentax VD is Fully Multi-Coated: I highly recommend you take a look at that as well as I will be leaning on much of that information in this review, but in a nutshell, I would say that we drive upon the conclusion that neither instrument was simply better or superior to the other, rather it was more about selecting the right option depending on the intended use.

Results History

Absolute waterproof and fogproof integrity means it's ready to perform in the field, in all conditions. Leupold VX-Freedom 1.5-4x20 Rifle Scope. The new VX-Freedom delivers the legendary Leupold performance and dependability hunters and shooters have demanded for decades, combined with a host of new and improved features. The VX-Freedom is guaranteed to get the job done every time. At a full 19mm, when it comes to the amount of eye-relief on a compact binocular, this is about as good as it gets, making them an excellent choice should you need or want to wear glasses whilst viewing. Interestingly, as small as they are, you can also see in the table above, in comparison to other compact binoculars, they are actually amongst the heavier instruments out there. These items normally require Identification (Passport) or a Firearms / Shotgun Certificate before they are handed over. Shotguns, Rifles, Airguns and Moderators are usually good examples. When purchasing a 'collection only' item you are in effect paying a deposit for your goods. In all instances you can choose to collect your item from one of our stores (Exeter, Dorset or Newport) or from a 3rd party gun dealer. The latter may be at an additional cost to yourself.

This is great because whilst this is a common feature on most modern full-sized and mid-sized binoculars, for whatever reason, it is less so on compacts. I have an in-depth article on everything you need to know about this relationship between your pupil size, the exit pupils, and prevailing light conditions that I highly recommend you look at, but in brief, the exit pupil size comes as a result of dividing the aperture or in this case the objective lens size by the magnification. The MountMaster series have been designed and developed for those wanting an easy to use scope that is not only strong but reliable and clear. This is why for locations like forests or woodlands, where viewing distances are usually relatively low, a binocular or monocular with a reduced magnification is an advantage. Note that, I measured those dimensions that you see in the table in what I would class as their most natural state, so with the central hinge fully open.Instead, they incorporate a focus adjuster on each barrel. Many binoculars actually do have a similar system and are often referred to as Individual Focus Binoculars and are often used for marine and astronomy binoculars amongst others, however, these are basically just double diopter adjusters located on both eye-pieces. Pentax uses both Bak4 and BK7 glass for the roof prisms which have also been phase-coated to prevent the problem of phase shift where the individual wavelengths stepping out of phase with each other as they pass through the prism. The result is a better image resolution and contrast. However, in low light like when the sun had dropped towards the horizon and the pupils in my eyes had now become dilated, this was where the larger exit pupil began to make a difference and to me, the Pentax VD 4x20 WP binocular had a noticeably brighter image than both the 10x26 and 8x25mm binoculars that I was comparing them against. Rear focal plane reticles remain fine and minimally cover the target at high power. Subtensions change with zoom, allowing tuning of ballistic reticles. Whilst a very minor point, the two thumb indents on the underside of the body show good attention to detail from Pentax as they just add to the comfort when holding them as well as just encourage you to hold them in the right way and in the right place.

In this regard, these perform as well as the Pentax Papilio, which happens to be one of my all-time favorite binoculars, and thus makes them one of the best choices available should you like to view things like butterflies and insects from a very close range. Likewise, I feel that the contrast levels are good in that you get a good differentiation between the lightest and darkest areas of a view. In good light, the image is bright, but not washed out and in dull conditions, you still get a good variance between lighter and darker areas giving the image a good sense of depth.The level of optics is also very good for a compact in this price range, and whilst it is quite difficult to directly compare them against others due to their much lower magnification, there is no denying that the view is both extremely bright and of very high quality for an instrument in this size class. at 1,000 yards or 175m at 1,000 meters, I have already spoken about just how expansive the view you get when looking through the Pentax VD 4x20 WP Binocular or Monocular, but let's now put this into some sort of context by comparing them some other compact binoculars:

Each scope design has to survive 5,000 impacts on the Punisher, Leupold’s recoil simulation machine. The force of each impact is 3x the recoil of a .308 rifle. If the scope doesn’t perform in any way during the tests, we make adjustments to the design and test it again.

So whilst fully sealed, I did get confirmation from Pentax that they are not filled with a moistureless gas like nitrogen or argon, and thus the internal optical surfaces maybe a little more susceptible to fogging up, however at the time of writing, I have yet to have any issue with this. I will of course update this should this change. In good or even average light conditions, your pupils will be quite small and thus all three configurations will be capable of supplying your eyes with enough light for you to perceive a bright image. Also note that by fully twist out the eye-cups, the overall length of these Pentax VD 4x20 WP Binoculars increases to 10.2cm
