Sightmark Presidio 3-18x50 LR2 FFP Riflescope - Precision Long-Range Optics

The Sightmark Presidio 3-18x50 LR2 FFP riflescope delivers variable magnification power across a wide range suitable for everything from mid-range precision work to extended-distance shots. Built around a first focal plane design with a red-illuminated reticle calibrated for .338 Lapua Magnum class cartridges, this scope puts usable magnification and rapid target acquisition in the same package—making it a solid choice for hunters and shooters running AR platforms or bolt-action rifles who need flexible optical performance without the weight of dedicated ultra-high-power glass.

The optical path benefits from fully multi-coated lens elements to maximize light transmission and edge-to-edge clarity. You'll manage elevation and windage adjustments via capped, low-profile turrets—the kind that produce positive audible clicks and feature aggressive knurling for confident hand adjustments, even in gloves or adverse conditions. A built-in zero stop keeps your turrets honest during extended shooting sessions, while the single-piece 30mm tube in aircraft-grade aluminum absorbs recoil and environmental punishment. Hard anodized finish resists corrosion and wear.

Durability meets real-world field use: the scope is sealed to IP67 rating, meaning it'll handle dust, moisture, and splashing water without leaking. Glass is protected by flip-up lens caps, and the included throw lever attachment lets you dial magnification quickly between shots. The red reticle illumination draws contrast against low-contrast targets and performs well in dim light—one CR2032 battery is included and powers the system for extended field use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rifles is the Presidio 3-18x50 compatible with?

The scope works with AR-platform rifles and bolt-action centerfire rifles. The 30mm tube fits standard quick-detach and traditional scope rings designed for that diameter.

Is this a first focal plane or second focal plane scope?

The Presidio features a first focal plane (FFP) reticle. That means the reticle scales with magnification—your holdovers and subtensions remain accurate whether you're at 3x or 18x, which is valuable for hunters and long-range shooters who change magnification between shots.

What's included in the box?

You get the scope, flip-up lens caps, a throw lever for fast magnification adjustment, and one CR2032 battery ready to power the red reticle illumination.

How does the reticle illumination work?

The red illuminated reticle runs on a single CR2032 battery and boosts visibility against low-contrast targets and in dim or overcast light. The reticle can also be used unilluminated if battery life is a concern.
