Vector Optics Continental x8 1-8x24 ED SFP Hunting Scope - engineered for shots at close to medium range.
Uncompromising optical performance
At the heart of the Continental x8 1-8x24 ED is a German Schott high-transmission glass system combined with LaREE HD elements, an ED lens and VePRO fully multi-coated surfaces. This advanced optical stack is designed to deliver very high light transmission, providing a vivid, crystal-clear and sharp image that helps you separate small game from background in woodland, along field edges and in low light. The 24 mm objective keeps the scope slim and quick-handling, while the 30 mm tube provides a generous internal adjustment range.
German #4 hunting reticle – The etched German #4 reticle is optimised for close-range hunting, with bold posts and a fine centre for rapid target acquisition. It is paired with 11-step centre-dot illumination, so your aiming point remains visible from first light to bright midday conditions.
German Schott ED glass – German Schott HT lenses, LaREE HD glass, ED lens elements and VePRO fully multi-coated surfaces work together to provide a bright, high-contrast image with excellent detail across the zoom range, even as the light fades.
True 1x LPVO performance – True 1x power enables genuine two-eyes-open shooting at close range, ideal for driven hunts, small game and fast-moving targets. At 8x you gain the precision needed for more distant shots on varmints and small targets.
Practical adjustment system – A 30 mm tube, capped hunting turrets and a large elevation range of up to 140 MOA give you ample room to compensate for bullet drop, while 1/2 MOA click values allow precise, repeatable zeroing without the risk of accidental turret movement in the field.
Comfortable, forgiving eye relief – Around 95 mm of eye relief and a forgiving eye box support fast mounting and a stable head position on recoiling hunting rifles, whether you are shooting from standing, kneeling or improvised field positions.
Built to endure
The Continental x8 1-8x24 ED SFP Hunting Scope is built on a robust 30 mm 6061-T6 aluminium tube with a matte black finish. It is IP67 waterproof, dust-tight, nitrogen filled to prevent internal fogging and shock-tested to withstand repeated recoil and harsh weather. As part of the Continental hunting line, it is backed by Vector Optics’ lifetime warranty.
