CIA CAOP0201 KNIGHT 1-10X 28MM
The Century Arms KNIGHT 1-10X 28MM is a variable magnification optic built for shooters who need flexibility across multiple shooting distances without sacrificing a fast, wide field of view at close range. Whether you're setting up a patrol rifle, hunting platform, or defensive carbine, this 1-10x zoom scope bridges the gap between a red dot's speed and a traditional rifle scope's reach—letting you engage steel and game from contact distance out to mid-range without dismounting or reaching for backup glass.
At 1x magnification, the KNIGHT delivers a wide sight picture and generous eye relief for snap shooting and target transitions. Crank it to 10x and you've got enough optical punch to make precise shots at distance or pick apart distant targets. The 28mm objective lens balances light transmission and mounting clearance—large enough to gather plenty of light in lower-light hunts or early-morning range sessions, but compact enough to keep your rifle trim and your scope rings simple.
Built by Century Arms with an eye toward working rifles, the KNIGHT isn't laden with tactical chrome or marketing buzzwords. It's a straightforward magnified optic designed to go to work on a rifle you actually use, whether that's hog hunting in the brush, distance target practice, or a duty platform that demands versatility. Pair it with quality rings, get it zeroed, and it'll be ready for the conditions you actually hunt and shoot in.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rifles and mounting systems work with the KNIGHT 1-10X 28MM?
The KNIGHT is designed as a standard rifle scope, compatible with any rifle using Picatinny or Weaver-format scope rings and mounts. Ring height and configuration depend on your specific rifle platform and barrel profile—we recommend verifying clearance with your rifle and mount setup before final assembly.
Is this scope suitable for hunting?
Yes. The 1-10x magnification range and 28mm objective make the KNIGHT well-suited for hunting applications where you need both a wide field of view at close range and enough magnification to place accurate shots at distance.
What's the advantage of a 1-10x scope over a red dot or fixed-power scope?
A 1-10x variable scope gives you the speed and light gathering of a red dot at 1x magnification—fast target acquisition, wide sight picture—while letting you dial up to 10x for precision shots at range. This versatility eliminates the need to swap optics or use backup magnifiers.
Can I use the KNIGHT for long-range precision shooting?
The KNIGHT's 10x magnification supports accurate shooting at moderate to mid-range distances. For dedicated long-range or extreme-distance shooting, a higher-magnification scope is typically a better choice.
