This extends the magnification range, especially upwards: for greater detail recognisability, more precise target acquisition and easier aiming point relocation. <strong>Luxury brands charge a good \u20ac2000 and more for such glasses.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At the unbeatable price of <strong>999 euros is now being offered by the Saxon company DDoptics<\/strong> also a scope with 6x zoom.

In terms of its optical formula <strong>Universal riflescope, the DDoptics convinces when stalking and sitting game.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For the <strong>driven hunt it would not be a first choice:<\/strong> The field of view (13.5 - 2.3m\/ 100m) is too narrow for a fleeting shot, even in the lower range.<\/p>\n<p>The DDoptics has a one-piece, scratch-resistant <strong>Hard anodised aluminium tube. Nitrogen-filled,<\/strong> it remained tight in a water bath (50cm deep) lasting several hours.<br \/>\nThe fine <strong>Grooved magnification changer<\/strong> requires only half a turn from 2.5x to 15x. It runs somewhat sluggishly, but smoothly and evenly. At a test temperature of - 20\u00b0 C, however, it could hardly be moved.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Dioptre adjustment has a steep thread<\/strong>it is resistance-free even at low temperatures. Pleasing the <strong>Large dioptre adjustment range of \u00b1 3 dioptres<\/strong>. The minus range is particularly important in low light and at short distances. The <strong>Eye relief of just over nine centimetres proved to be very comfortable.<\/strong> The eyepiece was defused using a rubber ring.<\/p>\n<h2>Recurrence-accurate reticle<\/h2>\n<p>A test showed that the reticle adjustment is very repeatable. The scale can be zeroed. There is also a good parallax compensation on the centre tube (this prevents point of impact shifts in case of misalignment).<\/p>\n<p>The light unit sits on the eyepiece tube, where it does interfere somewhat when changing magnification. The light point for day and night can be adjusted smoothly in eleven roughly subdivided light levels. However, the light intensity must always be manually adjusted again after switching off. There are no intermediate levels or an \u201eintermediate switch-off\u201c, nor is there an electronically controlled switch-off. <strong>Switching on and off<\/strong> causes a<strong> quiet click, <\/strong>but who<strong> not<\/strong> was disruptive to hunting.<\/p>\n<p>The crosshairs of reticle \"4\" are continuous. The illuminated dot only appears in the centre of the reticle when the illuminated reticle is switched on. The light intensity can be dimmed finely enough to minimise residual light. The red illuminated dot is easily recognisable even in bright sunshine and snow.<br \/>\nThe <strong>Reticle 4 is in the 2nd image plane and does not magnify with<\/strong>. It is perfectly visible at low magnification even in difficult light. At 15x, the thread covers just 7 mm\/100 m. A deviation of 1 cm\/100 m was determined on the collimator of the test lens over the entire magnification range. A value that is negligible in hunting practice. A knock test and a 20-shot load with the .340 Wby. Mag. could not impress the mechanics.<\/p>\n<h2>Amazing transmission<\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>Fully coated optics<\/strong> yielded a <strong>High light transmission of 92.8 or 90.8 per cent<\/strong> (day\/night). The proportion of false light was extremely low at 0.5 and 2.9 per cent (at 2.5x and 15x respectively). Even with backlighting, no reflections could be detected in the image.<br \/>\nThe resolution was good, but the picture was sharp with good edge definition.<\/p>\n<p>However, despite the high light transmission, there are natural limits to recognising details in low light and difficult lighting conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the picture is bright and sharp and suitable for low light conditions, especially at night.<\/p>\n<h3>Tip<\/h3>\n<p><strong>For the Kirr hunt<\/strong> five to seven times magnification proved to be ideal. This meant that difficult <strong>Light situations such as \"sows in front of thickets in the moonlight<\/strong>\" can still be mastered well.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>With the <strong>DDoptics Nighteagle 2.5 - 15 x 50<\/strong> is a practical one, <strong>Versatile target lens<\/strong> at a favourable price. However, there is a perceptible, understandable difference in comfort (light unit) and image brilliance\/quality compared to the top optics of the market leaders.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the DDoptics 2.5 - 15 x 50 only costs <strong>869 euros - an excellent price-performance ratio.<\/strong>-relationship.
