NEWNIGHT OPERATORS VD 1-6
1X FAST.6X FAR.
A first focal plane LPVO. At 1x you shoot with both eyes open, like a red dot. Push the throw lever and you are at 6x for targets far away. The reticle grows with the zoom, so every mark means the same at every power.

02HOW IT WORKS
Everything you touch.
1234Elevation on top, windage on the side. 0.2 MRAD a click, marked on the turret.
Lights the reticle. The CR2032 battery sits under the cap in the centre of the dial.
Fitted to the zoom ring. One push takes you from 1x to 6x.
Turn the eyepiece until the reticle is sharp for your eye, from minus 2 to plus 2. Eye relief 80 to 100 mm.
03THE RETICLE
A ring for fast. A cross for far.
At 1x the big ring catches your eye like a red dot. As you zoom in, the ring grows past the edge and the fine cross with its hash marks takes over for holds. Slide the power and see it.
- Thin ring. Big clear picture.

Illustration. The reticle is drawn from photos taken through this scope and laid over a picture of a Texas ranch with a USPSA target at 100 yd. Each power shows the field of view from the supplier sheet (102.4 ft at 1x, 16.7 ft at 6x).
04MOUNT IT
Pick a 30 mm mount.
The scope comes without a mount. Every mount in the list at the top of the page fits its 30 mm tube, and it goes in the same cart as the scope.
1.54 in
Lines up with the PREDATOR thermal clip-on. The height to pick if you run one, or may later.
1.50 to 1.93 in
Lower for a tight cheek weld, taller for a heads up position. Quick detach levers on some.
2.05 in
Night vision height: high enough to aim with goggles or a gas mask on.

07QUESTIONS
Before you buy.
What is an LPVO?
A low power variable optic. At 1x it is as fast as a red dot with both eyes open; zoom in and it magnifies up to 6x for targets further out. One optic covers close and far.
What does first focal plane mean?
The reticle sits in front of the zoom, so it grows and shrinks with the picture. Its hash marks cover the same distance on the target at every power, so your holds work at 2x as well as at 6x.
What mount do I need?
A 30 mm mount for a Picatinny rail. Every mount in the list at the top of the page fits, and it goes in the same cart. 1.54 in is the height that lines up with the PREDATOR thermal clip-on.
Will it hold up on a .308?
It is rated for .308 recoil, and we have tested these scopes at the range on our own rifles for years.
How do I zero it?
Each click moves the point of impact 0.2 MRAD, about 0.72 in at 100 yd. Turn toward UP if your shots are low and toward R if they land left.
What battery does it take?
One CR2032 coin cell, under the cap in the centre of the brightness dial.
Can I return it?
Yes, within 14 days of delivery. A 30 percent restocking fee applies to change of mind returns, and you pay the return post. If it arrives faulty, email us within 7 days of delivery and we repair or replace it.
