Firefield RapidStrike 1-6x24mm Dual Illuminated Circle Dot Reticle Matte Black Scope

The Firefield RapidStrike 1-6x24mm scope is a modern general-purpose rifle optic built for shooters who need flexibility across close-quarters and mid-range distance. Whether you're running an AR-15 for three-gun competition, hunting hogs, or working a defensive setup, this 1-6x variable scope bridges the gap between a red dot and a true long-range optic—giving you real magnification without sacrificing the speed of low-power sight picture. The included cantilever mount, throw lever, and honeycomb filter arrive ready to bolt on, so you can head straight to the range instead of cobbling together parts.

At 1x magnification, the RapidStrike feels like a point-and-shoot optic; bump it to 6x and you gain enough power to sort detail and stretch your effective distance. The illuminated circle-dot reticle in red or green sits in the second focal plane, keeping the reticle size consistent across all magnification settings—a smart design choice that doesn't complicate your sight picture. Five brightness levels let you dial in the glow for daylight or dusk shooting, and the CR2032 battery runs for 100 hours between changes. Windage and elevation turrets lock down once you've zeroed, with 100 MOA of adjustment in each direction and ½ MOA per click for precision dialing.

Firefield specs this scope for 5.56mm 55-grain ammunition, so your bullet-drop compensation is already calibrated for the most common AR platform load. Fully multi-coated optics and an IP67 waterproof/dustproof rating mean the glass stays clear in bright sun and light weather. The 30mm tube, shockproof construction, and nitrogen fill round out a no-nonsense optic that handles the work most shooters actually ask of an AR-platform scope.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this scope work on my AR-15?

Yes. The RapidStrike ships with a cantilever mount designed for AR-15 platforms, so all the hardware you need is in the box. The mount is pre-fitted to the scope; you just need to install it on your upper receiver.

What's the difference between 1-6x and a red dot, and when should I use each magnification?

At 1x, the RapidStrike works like a red dot for fast target acquisition at close range. The 2–6x range is ideal for medium-distance work like hog hunting or three-gun stages where you need precision without sacrificing field of view. A pure red dot gives you speed; this scope gives you flexibility.

Is the reticle illumination bright enough in daylight?

The five-level brightness control lets you dial the red or green illumination to match your lighting. The fully multi-coated optics and honeycomb filter help reduce glare, keeping the reticle visible in bright sun when set appropriately.

What ammunition is this scope zeroed for?

The bullet-drop compensation is calibrated for 5.56mm 55-grain ammunition, the most common AR platform load. You can zero the scope to a different load or distance using the windage and elevation turrets.
