High magnification range (6-24×) + large objective (50 mm) gives you good reach and brightness; helps for long-range work and low light.
First Focal Plane: Reticle subtensions are valid across magnification, which is huge for hold-overs, drop/wind corrections.
VPR MOA reticle: If you’re used to MOA system, this makes calculations intuitive.
Good adjustment travel: 60 MOA elevation gives you ample room for long-range shots or heavy elevation mounts.
Capped, tool-less turrets: Protection from accidental bumps; easier to use in adverse terrain.
Illumination & sunshade: Helps in dawn/dusk or glare conditions.
Relatively lightweight & decent size for what it offers. Not ultralight, but fair.
