Vector Optics Continental x8 6-48x56 ED MOA Competition SFP Scope
Engineered for benchrest and precision competition. Built to hit the smallest targets at extreme distance.
At the heart of the 6-48x56 ED MOA is a German Schott 93% high-transmission lens system combined with LaREE high-definition glass, an ED lens element and VePRO fully multi-coated surfaces. This advanced optical stack is engineered to achieve very high light transmission, giving a vivid, bright and crystal-clear image that makes it easier to read mirage, see bullet holes and separate the finest detail from the background, even in tricky light. The 56 mm objective lens gathers plenty of light for early morning and late afternoon matches, while the 30 mm tube maximises internal adjustment range.
VCO-6 MOA competition reticle – The VCO-6 MOA reticle in the second focal plane is purpose-built for benchrest, field target and F-Class competition. A tiny 0.1 MOA centre dot provides an exceptionally precise aiming point for bullseye work at high magnification, surrounded by a 2 MOA circle and 1 MOA hashmark increments that support simple holdovers and quick referencing without cluttering the view. The clean design keeps the target visible instead of covering it.
German Schott ED glass – German Schott HT lenses, ED glass, LaREE HD elements and VePRO fully multi-coated surfaces work together to reduce chromatic aberration and deliver a sharp, high-contrast image edge to edge across the entire zoom range. This clarity is essential when you are working with very small scoring rings at long distances.
Extreme 6–48x competition zoom – At 6x, you retain enough field of view to find and centre the target quickly. At 48x, you can see tiny aiming marks, group size and mirage detail that matter in serious benchrest and long-range competition. Because the reticle is SFP, it maintains a constant apparent size and ultra-fine centre dot even at maximum magnification.
Precise MOA adjustments with zero stop – The 30 mm monotube construction allows 48 MOA of elevation and 48 MOA of windage adjustment, all in extremely fine 1/8 MOA clicks. The integrated zero-stop turret system makes it easy to return instantly to your pre-set zero after dialling, giving you confidence when switching between distances or load setups.
Side focus for fine distance discrimination – Side focus from around 10 m to infinity allows you to dial out parallax and achieve a razor-sharp image at typical benchrest and field target distances, as well as at extended ranges used in F-Class shooting.
Built to endure
The Continental x8 6-48x56 ED MOA Competition SFP Scope is built on a robust 30 mm 6061-T6 aluminium alloy monotube with a matte black finish. It is IP67 waterproof, nitrogen filled to prevent internal fogging and shock-tested to 1000 G, ensuring it can withstand heavy recoil and hard use without losing zero. Eleven-step illumination keeps the centre of the reticle visible in a wide range of light conditions, and the crisp, audible clicks give clear feedback for every adjustment. Like other Continental models, it is backed by Vector Optics’ lifetime warranty.
