Crimson Trace 5-Series Tactical Riflescope 3-18X50Mm Mil/Mil Ffp W/Mr1-Mil

The Crimson Trace 5-Series Tactical Riflescope is a mid-range precision optic built for hunters and shooters who demand versatility without sacrificing optical clarity. This 3-18x50mm first focal plane scope brings Japanese ED glass quality to the field, paired with exposed .1 MIL tactical turrets and a fully illuminated MR1-MIL advanced reticle—the kind of setup that works whether you're dialing elevation on a prairie dog at 300 yards or making hold-overs in changing wind on a mountain hunt.

What makes this scope stand out is the FFP reticle design. Unlike traditional second focal plane scopes, the MR1-MIL reticle scales with magnification, so your holdover points stay accurate at any power setting. That means you can dial in at 3x or 18x and trust your ballistic marks either way. The numerous windage hold-over points give you on-the-fly compensation without fumbling with turrets, and the exposed .1 MIL adjustments feel solid and precise when you do need to dial. A Zero-Stop mechanism and 2nd rotation indicator help you return to zero confidently, and the forgiving eye-box is a genuine relief after long days behind glass.

The 50mm objective gathers light efficiently across the hunting day, while premium multi-coated ED glass cuts glare and delivers color fidelity that makes target spotting easier. Build quality reflects its tactical pedigree: a one-piece 30mm anodized aluminum tube, nitrogen purging, O-ring seals, and coated lenses that shrug off scratches, oil, and field grime. Waterproof and fog-proof, it's as rugged as your hunting demands.

Crimson Trace includes EZ Mount Leveling Indicators for repeatable, square mounting, and a red alignment ring to dial in proper eye placement. The scope also comes with a diopter adjustment so you can dial the reticle itself into sharp focus relative to your vision.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this scope good for long-range hunting?

Yes. The 3-18x50mm magnification range, FFP reticle with holdover points, and exposed MIL turrets are purpose-built for precision hunting applications. The MR1-MIL reticle maintains ballistic accuracy across the entire magnification range, and the .1 MIL turrets allow for precise dialing at distance.

What does "first focal plane" mean for hunting?

In a first focal plane (FFP) scope, the reticle scales proportionally with magnification. This means your reticle's holdover points—the aiming marks below the center crosshair—remain accurate whether you're zoomed to 3x or 18x. You can dial in at any magnification and still trust your bullet-drop compensation.

Does this scope come with batteries?

The MR1-MIL reticle is fully illuminated, so batteries are required for the illumination feature. Crimson Trace includes a Batteries For Life program, though specific battery details are not listed here; contact Bosque Outdoors or Crimson Trace for program details.

What is the Zero-Stop feature?

Zero-Stop is a mechanism that lets you return confidently to your zeroed elevation setting. Combined with the 2nd rotation indicator, it prevents accidentally over-rotating the turret and losing your zero.
