Sightmark Citadel 1-6x24 30mm Rifle Scope, Matte Finish, Illuminated CR1 Reticle

The Sightmark Citadel 1-6x24 30mm rifle scope is a versatile optic built for hunters and shooters who need flexibility across multiple distances without swapping glass. That 1x to 6x magnification range makes it equally at home on a close-range hunting rifle, a tactical carbine, or a precision shooter's setup—you get a wide field of view at low power for fast target acquisition, then dial up to 6x when you need to stretch it out. The 24mm objective lens and 30mm main tube deliver solid light transmission and rugged construction in a matte black finish that pairs well with any modern rifle platform.

The illuminated CR1 reticle is where this scope earns its keep in the field. Red illumination works intuitively in low-light conditions—dawn, dusk, or heavy brush—without the hassle of battery-dependent electronics that demand constant attention. The CR1 pattern gives you a functional aiming point that isn't cluttered or distracting, letting you focus on making the shot rather than deciphering your reticle.

This is a scope for hunters and shooters who value real-world utility over gadgetry. You're not paying for unnecessary complexity; you're getting a scope that handles the distances most hunters actually encounter, with fast optical performance and an illuminated reticle that works when you need it. Whether you're glassing the ridgeline at first light or tracking movement through timber, the Citadel 1-6x24 keeps your shooting simple and effective.

What rifles is this scope compatible with?

The 30mm tube fits standard rifle scope rings designed for 30mm optics. As long as your rifle's mounting system accepts a 30mm scope, this Sightmark will work.

Does the illuminated reticle require batteries?
